Marguerita & Leon

Let's talk about details, and cake, and sass. But mostly details.


Margeurita and Leon's wedding day was full of book themed goodness. Theme? you say. Yep, a theme done right. As great lovers of the written word, the bride and groom included books and words all over their wedding celebration. Their invitation was a tiny booklet, and each page included all the important bits of information about the ceremony, reception, and guest accommodations.

Even the Save the Date got in on some library action!

I did mention the sass, yes?

Caritas is Latin for 'Love for all'

 Marguerita and Leon were married in a gorgeous cavern of a church in Queens, NY. It really felt like a rich, hallowed space in which to exchange vows.

"Women are meant to be loved, not to be understood" --Oscar Wilde

Remember those details I mentioned? This place was oozing with sweet, sweet words. There was ivy, books, and card catalogues, oh my! Love and Marriage related quotes were posted all around the reception venue, in tiny frames, and on each table (in place of table numbers.)

AND CAKE!! That stack of books is a cake! And a delicious one, at that.

Bridal Party Sass!

There was so much warmth and personality at this wedding; The families and friends all came together to celebrate in a big way!
