( PEOPLE.com ) -- LaLa Vazquez and Carmelo Anthony always said they wanted a red color approach for their wedding.
In the end, they got everything they wanted and more -- with thousands of candles and flowers transforming New York's Cipriani 42nd St. into a scarlet sea of resonant, romantic reds and saturated pinks at their nuptials on Saturday evening.
The wedding was planned by event planner Mindy Weiss. Originator Ed Libby crafted the theme, evoking love and epic, beginning with the ceremony itself. Vazquez entered through wrought-iron gates wrapped in floral boas and made her way over sumptuous Bordeaux carpeting down a red satin aisle lined with suspended floral lanterns.
The bride, 31, and fit, 26, exchanged their vows beneath a floral-encrusted canopy made up of tens of thousands of red roses with accents of hot-pink hydrangea and cymbidium orchids. Vazquez carried a arrangement of amore roses studded with crystals and rhinestones and wrapped in ivory satin to equivalent with her Vera Wang gown.
After the ceremony, as the space was being transformed for the levee, guests moved to a cocktail area with an oversized red manifest leather lounging bed and custom-built bar inset with plexi vitrines with red crystal chandeliers suspended preferential.
At the reception, 30 dinner tables were set with two alternate designs: one with a bent over-tiered golden candelabra set atop a red broomstick silk linen with a business gold soutache cap; and another with a rouge ribbon taffeta topped with a crystal combine filled with floating candles and orchid heads, set beneath an open lantern of rose petals and crystals strands.

Ten days later, in hospital, he suffered a myocardial infarction caused by embolisms from his immobilised leg. Treated with oxygen and camphor, he strayed consciousness and had what seems to have been a near-death and out-of-the-body experience – or, depending on your angle, delirium. He found himself floating 1,000 miles above the Earth. Seas and continents shimmered in dejected light and Jung could make out the Arabian desert and snow-tipped Himalayas. He felt he was about to permission orbit, but then, turning to the south, a huge black monolith came into belief. It was a kind of temple, and at the entrance Jung saw a Hindu sitting in a lotus position. Within, innumerable candles flickered, and he felt that the “whole phantasmagoria of carnal existence” was being stripped away. It wasn’t balmy, and what remained was an “essential Jung”, the centre of his experiences. He knew that inside the temple the mystery of his entity, of his purpose in life, would be answered. He was about to cross the threshold when he saw, rising up from Europe far below, the portrait of his doctor in the archetypal form of the King
Yes, it happened, conclusively, the day I blew ten candles out with one for solicitous luck â that was the day Grandma left heaven for frigid.
