Sculpted Opulence at The Allegro Royal Sonesta Hotel

The moment Alex McCarron of McCarron Events & Design and Alexandra Euler of A.C.E. Styling laid eyes on the sculptural “Ryda” gown by Leah Da Gloria, their vision for a styled shoot snapped into focus. From there, they set out to create a scene as luxurious and high-glam as the bride herself — one that complemented the gown’s dramatic lines without competing with them. Gold Chiavari chairs framed a clean tablescape where white anthuriums sprouted like modern art and fresh pears and green grapes added an unexpected Renaissance touch. From the ethereal, light-catching veil to the gown’s train spilling across the carpet, every detail offered a feast of modern luxury with a whisper of vintage decadence.

The editorial grew from a desire to let fashion and design not merely coexist, but seamlessly elevate one another.
