AELO Alumni | Angela + Peter 7/12/15


CHURCH: ST. DEMETRIOS | RECEPTION: CONCORDE BANQUETS | FLORIST: FLOWERVILLE | PHOTOGRAPHER: JIHO PARK OF LILLY PHOTOGRAPHY | BAND: PINDOS | DJ: SOUNDS OF GREECE | CAKE: CENTRAL CONTINENTAL BAKERY | DESIGNER: LIMANI DESIGN STUDIO


In July, we had a traditional Greek ceremony in the beautiful St. Demetrios. Angela and Peter were so in love! The room at the Concorde was elegant and romantic and the night was filled with a TON of traditional Greek desserts, a candy bar, and lots of Greek dancing. We loved being a part of this day, and wish Angela and Peter all the best as they start their journey as newlyweds!
