Lysa and Christian are a couple whose beauty is matched both inside and out. This summer the two exchanged vows at an intimate family wedding at Aria that was so meaningful and thoughtful. One of my favorite moments of their ceremony was the focus on the fact that we don’t know what life will bring, so lets all remember to live our lives to the fullest and surround ourselves with love.

The ceremony might have been small, but the party was big! Lysa and Christian celebrated with the Jordan Kahn Orchestra who brought the energy through the late hours of the night and it was incredible! D’amico Catering and Gohan Sushi also served some delicious bites and of course all of this was made possible by the lovely and talented Amy Zaroff and her dream team of vendors!

As we all partied the night away, I also have to give a nod to the incredible speeches that really didn’t leave a dry eye in the room. Not only do Lysa and Christian love each other so much, but everyone around them has been moved by their marriage as well!

Congratulations to Lysa and Christian! We are so happy for you!

LOVEe

I’ve been looking forward to Maki + Jiten’s wedding for quite some time! It was a three-day wedding extravaganza, filled with tradition and amazing moments! We began at Maki’s family home for the Mehndi, which is an open house for guests to meet, mingle and take part in the Mehndi ceremony, otherwise known as Henna. It’s such a gorgeous art form and is said to bring good luck, good health and prosperity to the bride on her wedding day!

The next evening was spent at Aria for the Sangeet. This is a night filled with celebration, music and dancing - and that’s an understatement - this night is SO fun! The bride, groom and all their family and friends really stepped it up with some amazing dancing! There was a very sweet moment during this night when Jiten surprised Maki with a performance to Bruno Mars’ “Marry You”. It was unforgettable and a great preface to the excitement of their wedding day, which is coming soon in Part 2 of this post! In the meantime, enjoy these moments from the Mehndi + Sangeet!

LOVEe
