06 Apr Finnessa & Shamba {Sonesta Resort}
We’re cranking up the glamour this Wednesday morning thanks to New York-based lovebirds, Finnessa and Shamba. The two knew that they wanted to tie the knot down south so they selected the beautiful Sonesta Resort on Hilton Head Island and Sara of Artistique Weddings to make the day extra special. Finnessa looked like she was plucked from a red carpet’s best dressed list in her one-shoulder Pnina Tornai gown while her maids in blush numbers set the tone for the rest of the celebration. Beautiful blooming arrangements of pink garden roses, hydrangea and lisianthus welcomed guests to their al fresco-style dining tables along with sparkling linens that twinkled from the glow of the bistro lights strung above. From getting ready images to the fun black and white shots of Shamba serenading his bride on the dance floor, this Gillian Claire wedding has us smiling. Cheers to the happy couple!
