Alexandra Kolendrianos is behind one of my absolute favorite weddings. And anything that I’ve ever seen come out of her super chic imagination is always heavy on the romance, heavy on the glam. The details are always flawless and what’s more, Alexandra always considers the experience as a whole. She designs so that the flowers compliment the food, which compliments the gown, which compliments the lighting and decor. And the result is always incredible.

On the wedding day, their guests arrived via shuttle and were greeted with iced tea and lemonade as a string sextet played in the background. Guests made their way to the ceremony and were in awe as they sat and enjoyed all of the visuals and sounds that surrounded them. The bride and groom stood under an amazing structure adorned with crystals, fabric and florals while they said their vows. The backdrop in the distance were a pair of swans floating in the residence large pond. The ceremony was magical!
Cocktails, drinks and heavy hors d’oeuvres were enjoyed during the cocktail hour in celebration, as a spanish guitar duo played. From cocktails, guests made there way down a candlight and floral path to the reception which was dripping with beautiful things…..handmade trees, chandelliers, vintage mirrors, crystal curtains, couches and chairs and mirrored coffee tables and more! As guests took their seats, servers poured wine and took orders for entree selections followed by a delicious 3 course meal, wedding cake and an abundant dessert bar. All the while, a hip DJ played on his turntables. The evening was filled with food, family, beautiful decor and a very happy couple!
Enjoy the photos and thank you to the most talented team of vendors that were a part of the planning and execution of this wedding. And a special thank you to Megan and Aaron who’s love radiated not only in the planning, but times 100 on their special day!
