Real {Columbia Sheraton} Weddings: Piyumi and Tom Reception

LaKendra - Affairs With Elegance — Tue, 13 Sep 2011 18:06:13 +0000

Today will be our final post on this beautiful wedding. Feel free to view the pre-ceremony and ceremony posts if you missed those.

While guests enjoyed cocktail hour inside, the couple and their bridal party took formal photos outdoors. The weather was gorgeous and Columbia Lake was a beautiful backdrop for their photos.

Once formal photos were done, it was time for a quick wardrobe change by the bride before entering the reception.

Real Weddings: Piyumi and Tom Pre-Ceremony

LaKendra - Affairs With Elegance — Tue, 06 Sep 2011 16:43:14 +0000

Piyumi and Tom were married at the Columbia Sheraton Labor Day weekend of last year. I met with them and instantly knew how in love these two were. I loved hearing how they met and when they knew each was “the one” but watching the proposal video was the best! We were very excited to work with them on their traditional and Indian wedding.

After months of planning, their wedding day was finally here. The bride started her day like a celebrity…hair and makeup.

Of course we can’t leave out the groom.

It was almost time to get married so everyone headed to the area near the patio for the outdoor ceremony.

Stayed tuned for the ceremony recap.

Over the past year, we’ve had some of the best couples with amazing weddings. However, we are very far behind in blogging these recent weddings. Today we want to send out anniversary wishes to Piyumi & Tom who were married one year ago today.

They were one of the sweetest couples I’ve ever met. Over the next couple days we will showcase photos from their ceremony, formals and reception.

AWE Real Wedding – Sneak Peek

This past Saturday was Theresa & Brian’s wedding at the Grand Lodge of Maryland in Cockeysville. It will be a few weeks before we have the professional photos but I wanted to share a shot of the ballroom where their reception was held. I am so happy with how all of the design elements came together after working on this one for about a year. The “after” shot was taken by the fabulous florist, Sheila Smith of Eufloria Floral Design.
