Although Erika’s father, who passed away in 2012, couldn’t be there to walk his daughter down the aisle, the bride still carried a piece of her father with her. With the florist’s help, Erika had one of his cufflinks incorporated into her bouquet.

For the reception, the couple enlisted the help of CLEAR Lighting to turn the Hall of Mirrors into a dreamy starscape of purples and golds worthy of a Van Gogh masterpiece. Plus, a light-up dance floor served as an open invitation for guests to dance the night away.

The happy couple currently resides downtown. The groom works as an attorney, and the bride is a stay-at-home mother.
