Shanghai Lanterns & Horse Racing at Belvedere Mansion – it’s all in the wedding details!

Brides are always asking me what it takes to get their photos into a magazine.  It’s more than pretty photos, it’s more than just a gorgeous location, it’s all in the details, the details, the details!   And not just the usual details – but something different and unique.   And Alicia and Kevin had just that.  Alicia incorporated the English translation of her Chinese last name, horse, into the details of her wedding, from vintage horse racing ribbons on each table, to horses and rings on the wedding place cards.  All done very tastefully and mixed in with white paper and wire Shanghai style lanterns and blue and white Asian vases.  I have never seen anything like it and it was gorgeous!

A beautiful morning ceremony at Belvedere Mansion was followed by a rocking party with The Smokin’ Section band.
