Elegant Fall Wedding in Richmond, VA

We love when our brides and grooms incorporate their culture and passions into their wedding.

Toni and Cristhian’s fall nuptials in Virginia included salsa, coffee, and lots of love. Toni shares, “Cristhian is Colombian and LOVES coffee. We hired a full salsa band and gave away 100% Colombian coffee as party favors.”

Tell us about the proposal.

We were vacationing in Kaua’i Hawai’i. We were on the beach at night after a magical day in the ocean swimming with sea turtles. Cristhian felt like it was the right time and popped the question on the beach. Nobody around — just us two. It was perfect.
