As Barbara was getting her finishing touches done to her hair and make-up in her hotel room hours before the wedding was to start, Hernan had sent my assistant over to deliver a special message in Barbabra’s ear. As she whispered his love note to Barbara, a big smile came across her face. “Can you tell him that I love him so much, and that I can’t wait to marry him?”. It was a prelude to romantic and sincere the rest of the night would be. For their first look, Hernan’s jaw dropped as he first set eyes on his bride to be in her gorgeous art-deco Berta wedding dress. He just couldn’t believe that HE was the lucky man that got to marry this beautiful, hard working, loving, and fun woman in front of him. We all walked down the block to the Oviatt Penthouse in downtown Los Angeles, where their wedding was being held. The building, which was built in the late 1920’s, was perfect for their Gatsby themed event! Feathers, pearls, and gold were decorated everywhere. The ceremony started just as the sun was setting over Los Angeles. After reading each other their vows, both families incorporated traditions from their heritage, (Polish and Argentinian). They said I do and walked down the aisle as Mr. and Mrs.!
What great Gatsby wedding would be complete without some 1920s entertainment right? After Barbabra and Hernan shared their first dance as husband and wife (which was an Argentinian tango by the way!), guests were entertained by the Bling Divas! These cute flappers really started the party, and even incorporated Hernan into their show. It was such a fun night! Guests were even dressed in their best feathers and pearls, while sipping on old fashioneds all evening. Congrats to such a genuine couple!
