With dusty pink hues throughout the ceremony from the bridesmaid’s gowns to pretty roses and hydrangeas adorning the ceremony’s statement arches surrounding the altar where the couple said their I do’s, the entire space was transformed into a dreamy, glamourous escape.
After Tatiana and Jethro said their vows encircled by family and friends, the celebration turned into a high-wattage party that had everyone dancing to the rhythm of Kompa music and toasting the new bride and groom.

How we met…
In college, they started as best friends and Jethro asked Tatiana to be his girlfriend almost every day for a year. She was hesitant to say yes because she knew he would be her boyfriend forever.
The glamorous life…
Yaasss, Queen!!!
Popping the question…
Jethro and Tatiana were visiting her family in New York. Jethro spent the day with Tatiana’s father and when they got back, they asked Tatiana to pick something up at the store. She thought it was weird, but obliged.
As she got back to her parent’s house, she noticed the lights were off. She immediately began to call everyone, but no one answered. As she opened the door, she saw rose petals, balloons, and candles, heard “This is Why I Love You” playing, and saw Jethro on one knee at the end of the trail of rose petals.
Wedding style…
We had a very classic style that had modern and personal elements. Our wedding coordinator captured every detail that we wanted and things we didn’t even know we wanted!
Tatiana’s first dress was romantic and timeless, her second dress was classic and sexy. Jethro’s suit was debonair and sophisticated.
Okay, we see y’all looking fabulous!
Yes, sirrr!!
Wedding day memories…
Tatiana’s best memory was her and Jethro’s first look. It was just the two of them, it was intimate and very special.
Jethro’s best memory was standing at the altar waiting for Tatiana to come down the aisle, he was nervous, excited, and felt complete knowing his wife was walking down the aisle to him.
Here comes the bride…
Simply spectacular decor…
Party time!
All the right moves…
Here’s the thing…
Everyone is going to have advice or their own opinions about how your wedding should be, some solicited some not. Just make sure you’re doing what you and your partner want.
At the end of the day, it’s only your opinions that matter. You don’t want to think back to your wedding day and have any regrets. The wedding is important but make certain you don’t forget the marriage is the most important.
Another thing! If you have a budget and want to stick with it, narrow your guest list down!
