Mia + Christian: The Ceremony

More than 180 guests gathered for the wedding celebration of Mia and Christian in June at Belmont Mansion in Elkridge, Maryland. The day before might have been rainy, but on the day of the wedding, the bright blue skies and moderate temperatures made for a wonderful welcome. The ceremony tent was positioned on the front lawn at Belmont overlooking the gorgeous rolling fields and trees of the estate. The bride chose white chivari chairs for seating, a soft fabric liner for the tent ceiling and flowers with just the right amount of color.



One of the coolest things about this wedding was the Gospel Choir hired by Mia
to surprise the guests with a joyous concert of traditional celebratory songs
like O Happy Day and This Little Light of Mine. The Gospel Choir was
directed by Tyrone Wright.
