Allyson & Patrick – A James Bond-esque Black-Tie Affair
When you look up the definition of classic in the dictionary, you’ll find a picture of Allyson & Patrick’s wedding right next to it. Their black & white color palette and James Bond theme could not have been more elegant; lucky for us, Allen&Karen Wedding Photography was on hand to capture the details of the day.
Wedding Theme: Classic Wedding Colors: Black & White
From the bride: “My husband has been obsessed with James Bond ever since he was little. We wanted a James Bond-esque theme for our reception, so we decided to go with black-tie optional attire. It was so exciting to see our guests all dolled up in evening dresses and tuxedos. It was a fun way for us to make our wedding unique, and everyone loved the atmosphere it provided!”
Advice from the happy couple: “Enjoy and take in every little second — the day goes by so quickly! Don’t stress, and let things happen they way they are supposed to; your guests will never realize if something doesn’t go as planned!”
