A Lasting Love

Frances and Ugo were such a pleasure to work with this past summer. RAE Affairs coordinated a spectacular wedding for a very special couple. Frances the bride definitely had a vision of what she wanted her wedding day to look like and all her had work paid off in the end because the shades of purple wedding was absolutely beautiful  The decorator BCG Events did an amazing job of making her reception everything she wanted and more.

Love in August

I met the lovely couple a month before they got engaged at a social event I planned over the winter. Tayo's girlfriend at the time Bimbo was so sweet even though we only exchanges casual hellos. Of course as a planner I gave her my card and told her to call me whenever she got engaged. A month later I got a call from her with some engagement news; we had one meeting and we began planning right away. A year and and four months later and their wedding day was here; August 11 was a truly beautiful day for a very deserving couple.

The couple had a "First Look"

  The Bride really wanted to incorporate the memory of her loving mother at the wedding without having a very sad moment. She has a remembrance candle lit at the entrance of the reception and guests wrote a note in the book of remembrance. *Special Moments*

The Battle for the Bouquet 

Thank you Bimbo and Tayo, it was an amazing experience planning your wedding.

As always I love to acknowledge all the vendors for being part of making it a success
