Philadelphia Wedding Preparations of Yasmina + John

Last month I shared Yasmina and Johns rehearsal dinner at the Barnes Foundation. I am sure everyone would agree it was as beautiful as any wedding. Well, their wedding images have arrived. I had to wait for their wedding to be featured in Modern Luxury Wedding Philadelphia Magazine. It’s out on the stands so it is a must read for future brides (and grooms). I’ll be sharing the magazine feature shortly also. For now, let’s start with their wedding day preparations.  They say it takes a village but this wedding took countries….. from Pairs to Lebanon. If you check out the vendor list at the bottom of this post you will see how very many it too and it was all tied together by the most amazing wedding planner, Gina Sole. Congrats to Gina, this most amazing, beautiful and complex wedding just flowed along seamlessly. The bride, groom and family just flowed along enjoying the love and romance of the day. Check our Yasmina’s most beautiful Giorgio Armani Prive gown. Giorgio Armani did the final fitting in Paris. Left me breathless. Our groom John’s was a custom Armani also. A VERY fashionable pair. I’ll be sharing their wedding ceremony at St. Mark’s Episcopal Church soon.
