Hello all….  We recently had the extreme pleasure of assisting a special couple bring their amazing families from Eastern and Western Africa, Europe, Canada, and the United States together to celebrate their union of love.  Sena and Eric were wed in College Park , MD at the amazing Samuel Riggs IV Alumni Center on July 1, 2012.

From the beginning of the wedding planning process, Sena expressed her desire to have a fun and elegant wedding with the “WOW” factor.  Every inspiration photo that she shared with me was filled with huge flower arrangements, candles, lighting, and lots of bling.   The colors of the wedding were royal blue and a vibrant yellow. The bridesmaids wore form fitting mermaid style dresses designed by a designer specializing in African attire.  The groomsmen were decked out in black tuxedos with Calvin Klein blue and yellow striped ties given as a gift by the bride and groom.   During the cocktail hour guests were wowed with fabulous food stations designed by MK Catering staff.  The reception was emceed and spoken in both French and English to ensure that all guests followed the events of the evening.     An African Dance troop performed throughout the night with special dances native to the African culture intertwined with more current dance trends.  The bride and groom changed into their special African Garments during the middle of the reception and were reintroduced and welcomed by their guests.   The rest of the evening continued  as guests dined and danced the night away.  This was truly an amazing, heartfelt, and loving wedding.
