Sandra Song (29, dentist) and Andrew Cho (33, dentist) met during dental school through a mutual friend. They dated for a few years, one of which was long distance, before Andrew proposed to Sandra in the comfort of their home. He decorated the apartment with red roses and cooked a dinner of lamb chops and risotto for Sandra before popping the question. For their intimate wedding, Sandra and Andrew chose to hold both their ceremony and reception at Le Meridien Hotel in downtown Philadelphia. The venue comfortably fit their guests and its decor was traditional with modern touches, which was a big plus for Sandra and Andrew. They picked a muted palette white, pink and lavender as their wedding colors, which resonated in the flower arrangements of roses, hydrangeas, delphiniums and other flowers as well as in the lavender of the bridesmaids floor length dresses. Andrew and the groomsmen looked dapper in black tuxedos with white ties and calla lily boutonnieres, with Andrew wearing a black vest to distinguish himself. Sandra wore a jaw-dropping ball gown from Allure Bridals with a sweetheart neckline, beading, ruching and a full, ruffled skirt. The ceremony was held in a room with beautiful and modern bubble chandeliers while the ballroom reception was decorated with candles and rose petals everywhere in addition to the tall, looming flower arrangements. As favors, Andrew and Sandra gave their guests small boxes of macarons. Andrew and Sandra's downtown Philadelphia wedding was stylish, fun and full of love.
