A perfect fall day for Colette and Angelo's wedding in Philadelphia this past Saturday. Colette and her maids started the day at her parents home with hair and makeup by Your Day Your Way before everyone slipped into their dresses. Colette and Angelo saw each other for the first time as Colette made her down the aisle of St. Monica Church. They took their family photos at the church after the ceremony before heading out to their family's first established South Philadelphia Primo's store and then to City Hall for more bridal party photos. They then headed to Tendenza and enjoyed a delicious menu for cocktail hour and their signature cocktail that they named "Sunset in Mexico" created by Cescaphe Event Group. Beautiful Blooms lit up the ballroom with lilac sachet lighting, projected a custom monogram on the dance floor, while also providing the beautiful ivory rose bouquets and white calla lily centerpieces. Gus from A&A Celebrations had the dance floor packed all night. Pete from First Floor Films and Jenn from Jennifer Childress Photography were on hand to capture all of the day's special moments. Thank you Jenn for sharing these teaser images with us! We can't wait to see the rest! Congratulations Colette and Angelo! -Amanda
Staying true to their Indian heritage, Samata and Roshin started Saturday with a traditional Indian wedding ceremony at the Hindu Temple of Delaware. After Roshin was paraded into the ceremony and Samata joined him in front of the beautiful mandap created by Nirali Decor, they had their ceremony on the stage in front of their family and friends. After the ceremony, guests enjoyed a luncheon at the temple before heading to Deerfield Country Club later that evening for the reception. After taking photos in their wedding attire, Samata and Roshin changed into their reception clothes, a suit for Roshin and another beautiful sari for Samata. The reception room at Deerfield was decorated in hues of pinks and gold and Nirali also provided tall branch and floral centerpieces for the guests' tables. Guests were treated to a traditional Indian buffet by Palace of Asia followed by cake from Desserts by Dana. DJ Jassi from Dhol Fusion Entertainment played Indian and American music all night and kept the dance floor packed. Josh from JHC Videography and Danny from Daniel Bostwick Photography captured all the fun on film and we can't wait to share more with you! Congrats to Samata and Roshin! -Caitlin
