Timeless Black Tie Wedding at Crystal Tea Room: Morgan + Kevin

Morgan and Kevin’s wedding was the perfect blend of timeless elegance and personal touches, set against the charming backdrop of Philadelphia. Having met while working as financial analysts at Vanguard, their shared love story came full circle on January 19, 2024, as they exchanged vows at the stunning Cathedral Basilica of SS. Peter and Paul. The grandeur of the cathedral perfectly complemented the couple’s classic style, and the city’s wintery landscape added a layer of romance to their special day. With softly falling snow, Morgan and Kevin posed for beautiful portraits with the iconic Cathedral as the backdrop, creating memories that would last a lifetime.

For their invitations, Morgan and Kevin chose our Natalie design, printed in elegant black ink and styled with a hydrangea-patterned envelope liner in ivy green. They completed the look with our botanical silk ribbon, adding a touch of nature to their sophisticated suite. The Natalie design was the ideal choice for their black-tie affair, setting the tone for a day that was both classic and polished. Their invitation suite was just the beginning; Morgan and Kevin extended their chosen design to their wedding day stationery, using it for welcome signs, table numbers, and place cards, ensuring a cohesive, elegant aesthetic throughout the day.

Morgan was a vision in her lace ballgown, exuding timeless beauty with her bouquet of white roses, ranunculus, freesia, and greenery. Her bridesmaids complemented the winter theme in emerald satin gowns paired with white fur stoles, adding a luxurious touch to the cold-weather affair. Kevin and his groomsmen matched the sophistication of the event, looking dapper in black tuxedos, with the groomsmen’s emerald green bowties tying in perfectly with the bridesmaids' gowns.

The reception at the Crystal Tea Room was nothing short of magical. The space was transformed into a winter wonderland with tall white floral centerpieces, glowing candles, and elegant details that perfectly reflected Morgan and Kevin’s vision of a sophisticated yet joyful celebration. One of the standout moments of the night was their first dance, which ended with a surprise indoor fireworks display, bringing an air of excitement and wonder to the occasion. Personal touches, such as old family photos displayed throughout the venue, made the evening uniquely theirs and added warmth to the refined atmosphere.
