A Silver Wedding at Artesano Iron Works in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania

When it came to their wedding decor, Tamara Stafford (35 and a certified public accountant) and Donald Brown (55 and a strategic planning consultant) wanted their venue to take center stage. The couple were married at Artesano Iron Works, a metalwork art gallery in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania. "I wanted to have a sophisticated, urban setting surrounded by art," Tamara says. "Artesano fit the requirements perfectly with its beautiful iron works displayed throughout the building." Because the space spoke for itself, Tamara and Donald kept their decor to a minimum. The wedding party look fit the modern venue perfectly. The bridesmaids wore metallic ebony dresses and carried white, orange and red bouquets while Donald and his groomsmen wore black suits with cravats and red boutonnieres. Tamara herself wore a beautiful silver satin dress and styled her hair in an updo with a regal tiara and crystal jewelry. Because Tamara and Donald are foodies, they served their guests a delicious international meal followed by cupcakes from Bredenbeck's Bakery. Art + Life Photography was there to capture all the pretty details from the day.
