The day started with Christina getting ready at her family home, surrounded by her loved ones. The excitement was contagious! One of the most touching moments was when her dad saw her in her stunning dress from Blanche Bridal (thanks to Genevieve’s Bridal Couture) for the first time. His reaction was priceless, and it was hard not to tear up.
The bridesmaids, in their cute custom blue pyjamas, added so much fun to the morning. They had a blast taking photos on the bed with “BRIDE” spelled out in gold balloons behind them and posing with fake newspapers featuring the couple and their wedding date. Later, they changed into gorgeous blue dresses, each with a unique design, perfectly complementing Christina’s bridal look.
Joseph, on the other hand, got ready at a beautiful rental home with serious old-money vibes. He and his groomsmen had a great time taking photos with a sleek red Porsche, adding a touch of classic cool to the day’s events.
The ceremony at Virgin Mary and St Athanasius Coptic Orthodox Church was intimate and packed with meaningful traditions. Watching Christina and Joseph being crowned was such a special moment. The whole ceremony was both beautiful and joyful, making it a truly memorable experience for everyone there.
After the ceremony, the couple and their bridal party hopped on a party bus and enjoyed some McDonald’s, which was such a fun and relaxed way to transition to the reception. Seeing them share these light-hearted moments with their friends was heartwarming.
The Arlington Estate was the perfect spot for Christina and Joseph’s reception. They arrived in style, taking breathtaking photos with a classic Rolls Royce. The outdoor spaces and natural light were perfect for capturing stunning couple and bridal party photos.
The reception decor was simply magical. Imagine a love-filled garden brought to life by Royal Orchid Florist. Soft pastel flowers and lush greenery turned the venue into a dreamy paradise. Long dining tables were adorned with delicate blooms and tall glass candlesticks, casting a warm, inviting glow over the room. The most beautiful part was the floral canopy hanging over the dance floor – it added that WOW moment when guests were invited to sit down.
Christina and Joseph made a grand entrance for their first dance, surrounded by sparklers held by their loved ones. The dance floor was alive with joy and celebration as they shared this special moment.
Christina changed into a chic up-do ponytail for the reception, perfect for dancing the night away. The night ended with a bang—literally—with an awesome fireworks display that lit up the sky, closing out an unforgettable day.
Guests enjoyed delicious food, a beautiful cake by Christine Hasler, and the artistic talents of live painter Olga Gioia, who captured the celebration on canvas.
In conclusion, Christina and Joseph’s wedding was a day filled with love, tradition, and joy. From the heartfelt morning preparations to the dazzling fireworks at night, every moment was a testament to their love and the start of their beautiful journey together. The photos from the day reflect the beauty and happiness that surrounded them, creating memories that will last a lifetime.
