Evelina and Yevgeny had a glorious summer wedding (despite that sweltering heat) at the Sherwood Gardens in Maryland.

With a color palette in royal purple and mauves, the summer greens provided the perfect backdrop. Every detail was accounted for; even the kippot were royal purple.

Evelina’s long train was a fairy tale complemented with the cascading white orchid bouquet.

She tells us more about their romance and Jewish wedding.

Yevgeny and I met through a mutual friend seven years ago. He made me laugh right away and it was pretty much love at first sight. He told his mother a week later that he was going to marry me and I was the one. Of course I thought he was crazy.

However, five years after dating he proposed to me with a custom ring that him and I designed together. It drove me insane knowing he had the ring and not knowing when/where he is going to propose. He proposed to me during his birthday dinner. I totally did not expect that.

We decided to stay engaged for a few years before officially tying the knot. We took our time planning and everything came out perfect. What made the wedding so personal was the fact that we put a lot of effort and time into planning and organizing such big wedding by our selves.

It was amazing to walk in and see everything come together, and it was completely breathtaking. I couldn’t have asked for a better, more beautiful night.
