The timelessness of a black tie wedding is something we can get lost in for a while. Classic white roses, a gorgeous cathedral and a bride and groom dressed to kill — Sareen and Ardo’s wedding is everything we love about a formal affair. He wore Yves Saint Laurent and Tom Ford while she wore an Ines Di Santo gown with an incredible train. A stunning couple.

The Ceremony
The ceremony was at St. Leon cathedral in Burbank, California with a romantic setting of candles and white rose petals down the aisle. The church was full of white roses with hydrangeas in massive white vases, decorated in a very traditional church style.
The Reception
The reception was so elegant with white roses and tulips for the rounded centerpieces and candles all over. Calligraphed table numbers co-ordinated, set inside pearl frames with crystals. My sweetheart table matched, with a white rose background; very Kim K-inspired, from her European wedding. We had an open bar and guests danced the night away.
Sareen’s Dress Search
I tried on over 20 gowns before I found the one! My gown was old school Hollywood-style with a dramatic 12-foot train going down the aisle that wow-ed the guests.

Why Sareen Decided to Sell Her Wedding Dress
I wanted to sell my wedding dress to give another girl a chance to feel like a queen on her wedding day.
