A Night of Liming- The Wedding of Burnetta & Rhet
We’re excited to kick off this already chilly Chicago winter with images and a story that is sure to warm your heart!
Ijorere The Invitation was so excited to be a part of the luxurious wedding of Burnetta & Rhet which took place in downtown Chicago’s W Hotel this past May. We gave you a sneak peek of this event earlier in the year Burnetta & Rhet’s IJORERE, Did you miss the trailer by Carbon14? Well, Check it out! :~)
Shades of brilliant purples and highlights of lime green enhanced the weddings already vibrant atmosphere. Coordinating
IJORERE custom wedding designs- 200 place cards, 20 table cards, 15 different types of signage and 20 custom fabric pocket enclosed thank you cards brilliantly helped set the tone and added dash of personalization for each guest. Our most luxurious signature engraved walnut wooden boxes elegantly placed in satin string pouches were given to fifteen of their closest family and friends who were delighted with their new found treasures.
Celebrated that evening was not just the union of two unbelievably in love souls, but two vibrant cultures. Burnetta’s African-American and Rhet’s Trinidadian cultures fused beautifully and everyone enjoyed the lively and exquisite evening of “liming.” Trinidad’s catch phrase of liming became the theme of the event, and the “Story of the Lime” and “Thanks for Liming with Us” reminded people of this way of life ; ”To hang out and enjoy the company of family and friends”.
We hope you enjoy a look at one of this years’ most memorable events!
