Family & Friends: Sequoria & Elshod

 

The Anderson Family, a simple but yet classic love story. Sequoria and Elshod were married in Richmond, Virginia in a wedding that focused on family & friends.  This wedding was personal to the couple in that it incorporated their kids, united their families and celebrated their love.  The decision to stay in a timeless black and white theme allowed us to do just that.  Sequoria a teacher and Elshod a fireman constantly give of their time and talents to the community.  They were a couple deserving of an event that was focused on matters of the heart: FAMILY.

Sequoria walked down the aisle with blessings from lineage. 

The couple included their daughter and son in the union. The bell ringer shouted,

 "The Bride (mommy) is Coming" as tears flowed from every member in the audience.

Placemats were used to decorate the tables and solidify the NEW family as,

The Anderson's

Sequoria is our assistant at Savoy The Socialite and Hayden/Savoy Lifestyle Living. We were equally emotional and yet elated at this event.  The wedding was all that the couple dreamed. A quote that was shared by the pastor that I will never forget. 

"You were invited to the wedding, but not to the marriage"

Rustic Elegance: Stephanie & Torik

Inspired by the rustic appearance, engulfed with earth-tone colors, and stimulated by romance is all what Stephanie and Torik wanted for their wedding.  Every element of this occasion screamed Rustic, Chic, Elegance from the flowers to the venue and even the guest.  The eccentricity in the atmosphere had guest eager dancing to the tunes of DJ Prolific and the venue participated in its architectural structure, giving Stephanie and Torik an event with history and purpose. 

Stephanie wanted her vision to be filled with colors of mocha and peach.  She was consistent to the color and her vision was inspired by her soft and subtle personality and big smile.

The hippodrome theater is on the famous streets of  Richmond VA, 2^nd street that tells stories of  constructed in 1895 provides a more intimate and formal backdrop for your special event. Glowing white brick walls and historic cast iron fencing welcomes your guests inside to period styling and the flow of an early 20th century home. This was the #1 choice of the bride for her wedding.

 

The Hippodrome aided in Savoy The Socialite and Hayden/Savoy Lifestyle Living foster the palate with choosing specific vendors and design elements that would bring the theme through.  The couple had fun reconnoitering an assortment of rustic but yet chic elements to complete the overall look.

 Tamika and I would like to thank The Brides Café and Essence Online Magazine for featuring Stephanie and Torik wedding.
