The Bride Molly Makoski, 24, an executive administrative assistant at JPMorgan Chase & Co. The Groom Luke Blangero, 24, a senior loan processor at JPMorgan Chase & Co. The Date February 12 Molly and Luke were all about creating an ambience of rich, classic glamour for their wedding day. They chose a black-and-white color combo, accented with deep-red details for added drama and romance.

Molly wanted her bridesmaids to look sexy and chic, so she chose these black one-shoulder mermaid-style gowns.
The bridesmaid bouquets, made of Sahara roses and silk anemones (real anemones were out of season), became centerpieces at the reception.
Stamped numbers gave bold, graphic interest to otherwise simple escort cards.
Bulbous arrangements of white roses complemented the classic look of the ceremony venue.
Molly and Luke chose “You Are The Best Thing” by Ray LaMontagne for its heartfelt lyrics and danceable beat.
Black banding and flowers made the cake elegant, while a sparkly topper added a little glam.
