Our young, Atlanta-based couple, Chynna and Alden Washington, decided that they wanted to have their wedding take place in the 9-5-4. Atlanta’s very own took on Fort Lauderdale on the serene, summer day on June 12th, 2022. Both their wedding ceremony and reception took place at The Venue, a luxurious mansion wedding venue located at Wilton Drive, Florida. The décor was brilliantly done by @poncefloraldesign, who did an extraordinarily stunning job in adding an elegant and modern feel to the couple’s wedding day. To add to the elegance of the event, all attendees were subject to a ‘black tie’ themed dress code which they all executed impeccably.
Our bride, Chynna, had her makeup exquisitely done by @themakeupgawd and her hair was done by @hairbybellab, who had executed two different looks on the bride; one being her initial ceremony tied-back look and the other being her reception look, a curly cut bob which complimented her reception dress change into a beautiful, sparkling gown.
Our newlyweds powerfully posed for their couples’s and bridal portraits directly following their wedding ceremony where achieved a very elegant, editorial look with their images.
After sharing their first dance, the newlyweds showed up and showed out; our bride underwent a hair and wardrobe change and our groom made himself more comfortable all in effort to party it up and show Miami how folks from the ‘A’ like to get down.
