Photographed by Luke and Ashley and planned by By Love Events, the sultry dark color palette of purples and reds, curated onyx-hued table settings, live band surrounded by marquee letters spelling out the lovebirds' married name, gorgeous mirrored escort cards nestled on champagne glasses, and larger-than-life balloons were carefully chosen to reflect Robert and Sherika's own energy-filled styles. For personal touches, Sherika honored her late father with a special front row seat at the ceremony as well as having his handwriting transformed in their neon sign. To tie in their Filipino and African-American heritages, Robert and Sherika jumped the broom at the ceremony and did the money dance at the reception.
While luxuriously filled with lush flowers for days by Isha Foss Design, Sherika also kept it fire with her and her bridesmaids' Adidas-themed getting ready outfits and footwear while Robert's crew brought the celebration vibes all throughout the day. Major squad goals with this wedding! You can't help but smile at their happiness!
