Real Weddings: Casandra + David

Casandra and David’s wedding venue, Osteria Via Stato, is about four blocks from my house! Not only is it a fabulously yummy restaurant, but I was excited to see it transformed for a wedding. I love the romantic sea of candles and handmade runners at each table, and the positively gorgeous images that Jen Lynne Photography captured. If you are looking for alternative wedding venues, I definitely recommend scouting out your favorite local restaurants. As you can see, the end result is just lovely.
