Sasha and Gabriel
From Russia with Love, Brazil with a Kiss: Sasha & Gabriel ‘s Orlando Victorian Dream!
Talk about a love story that spans continents! It might seem like a long shot that Sasha, born in Russia, and Gabriel, from Brazil, would ever find each other. But as they say, love knows no borders (or hemispheres!). When this amazing couple started their quest for the perfect spot to say “I do” for their intimate ceremony, they connected with the wonderful Connie at Intimate Weddings of Orlando.
Their chosen venue? The absolutely stunning Dr. Philips House in downtown Orlando! Built way back in 1893, this beautiful Shaker-style Victorian mansion is like stepping into a fairytale. With its timeless charm and elegant architecture, it ticked every single box for Sasha and Gabriel’s historic wedding venue dreams. Imagine exchanging vows in a place steeped in old-world romance – pure magic!
To bring their wedding day vision to life, Intimate Weddings of Orlando played matchmaker once again, connecting Sasha and Gabriel with some truly exceptional vendors. It was a dream team assembled to create a flawless celebration.
The talented Chris from Captured by Chris was their photographer for the day, and he was on point! From capturing the excitement of getting-ready moments in the bridal suite to Sasha’s breathtaking walk down the aisle, the heartfelt ceremony, and the cherished family portraits, Chris ensured every precious memory was beautifully preserved. His artistic wedding photography truly told their unique story.
Keeping their “old world romance” theme in mind, Flowers by Lesley crafted a classic floral design featuring a stunning bouquet and boutonniere for Sasha and Gabriel. The snowy white roses, paired with the lush green seeded eucalyptus, exuded timeless elegance. It was a romantic floral arrangement that perfectly complemented the Victorian setting.
Juan Auffant, one of the fantastic wedding officiants from Sensational Ceremonies, worked closely with Sasha and Gabriel to create a personalized wedding ceremony that spoke volumes about their love. From heartfelt words about love, trust, and hope to a meaningful reading from “The Art of Marriage,” every element was beautifully woven together. It was a touching wedding ceremony that resonated deeply with everyone present.
Sasha and Gabriel’s wedding was a beautiful testament to the power of love to bridge distances and create something truly special. We wish them a lifetime filled with happiness, laughter, and a love that continues to grow stronger with each passing day. It truly is a whole new world for these two amazing souls!
