Laughter capitalized Dina and Chris’s special day, as the giddy pair embarked on their days long celebration into husband and wife! The couple chose to have a private ceremony at their home and a celebratory reception, surrounded by the abundant and lush vegetation at The Horticultural Center in West Fairmount Park, located in Philadelphia, PA. Any notion of “cold feet” were quickly dispelled in the warmth of the Horticultural Center’s spacious greenhouse, which displayed an array of florals, many cascading beautifully at each table. Their reception included several performances by a belly dancer, complete with wardrobe changes to accompany each dance! The liveliness continued on late into the night as the center’s gardens and reflecting pool allowed for the couple to quietly sneak in a few last portraits before their event came to a close.
