Is there anything sweeter than an emotional groom? Bobby is a self professed crier and capturing the love he shares with Sasha was so special. Sasha and Bobby's gorgeous Sonoma garden wedding was a celebration of their love while combining her Russian roots and his love of his home in Alabama.
These two met in Las Vegas and were so excited to bring all of their family and friends to beautiful wine country for their wedding.
After their wedding ceremony outside surrounded by gorgeous flowers from Lavender Floral in front of a vineyard, guests were treated to drinks and snacks on the main lawn before sitting down to dinner under the twinkling lights and ivy of the veranda.
Bobby's Aunt is a well known chef and she combined their Southern and Russian backgrounds for an eclectic dinner celebration including fried chicken and biscuits for Bobby and chicken kiev for Sasha.
Steal Worthy Idea
Bobby and Sasha infused their own vodka for the traditional Russian wedding vodka shots which they shared with all of their family and friends. Interested in doing the same? Check out the following steps:
