We are so excited to finally share Alfred and Breanna’s beautiful wedding which has been featured in The B Collective! These two was super intentional about every single detail of the wedding, even making sure to intentionally hire an all African-American vendor team. They infused their love for their culture into every part of their wedding. Major heart eyes! Seeing all of the hard work, passion, and love our clients put into their wedding day, makes it all worth it! Continue scrolling to get all the juicy details on their wedding and love story, as well as get a peek at all the beautiful photos from their special day!
Thanks for the feature B Collective!
How did you all meet?
Alfred and I met during Welcome Week at Baylor University! I was an incoming freshman, and he was a graduating senior. He was performing at a multicultural showcase with his fraternity, and I knew that I had to meet him. After a couple of pep talks by my friends, I decided to get his attention at a party that weekend. He came over to me at the party, and after a quick dance, he asked for my number. We started officially dating about 2 months later
Alfred proposed nearly 4 years later at my college graduation party. We were surrounded by friends and family, and I could not have been more surprised or excited when he got down on one knee in the middle of a heart made of rose petals
What inspired your theme/style? What was your color palette? Why was it important to you?
The theme for our wedding day was “The Black Effect”. We wanted our wedding to embrace our vibrant black culture, so we made it a point to support black-owned business with our team of vendors. We sought to redefine the negative stigma of the color black. Black is often related to darkness and death, but with love, we painted our story black as an expression of excellence, endearment, and to serve as a reminder of who we are in the purest form. Everyone in attendance was required to wear black to the event.
Anything super unique about the big day?
We did a lot of outfit changes and had a couple dance routines. My mom and I did an old school mix for our dance. Then, Alfred and I changed to our gold sequin outfits for our surprise dance that ended with a few of members of our sorority and fraternity joining us on the dance floor. We ended the night in all white with matching “Just Married” jean jackets. We used this outfit change to toss a bouquet and garter off of the balcony before making our big exit.
Any tips you would share with other couples getting married?
Create a budget before you start planning anything and don’t forget to enjoy every moment of the big day!
