A Queen To Be: Kandi & Todd's Coming to America Themed Wedding

So now that the Wedding has taken place and The Real Housewives of Atlanta spin off confirmed are you just as excited as I am to see the wedding details of this lovely couple?? First pics published by InTouch Weekly reveal a Royal purple, Lush gold and Cream color palette.

Held at Atlanta's Le-Fais Do-Do, April 4, 2014, the inspiration for their fabulous affair is the 1988 movie Coming to America; its significance to Kandi and Todd stems from the couples introduction to each other while vacationing in Africa. Kandi has promised not to hold back on the lavish details like those that were displayed throughout the actuall movie. So far I see sparkling gold chair covers over gold toned chiavari chairs, ostrich feathers, beautiful draping, purple uplighting and cream & gold candle lights to adorn the tables. Admittedly, I am a little underwhelmed by her choice of invitations for such a lush affair but decided to comment and include a photo posted by Straight From the A despite possibably coming accross as a "hater"...lol; because I strongly believe that invitations set the tone of the event and is your guests first insight of whats to come.

Im pretty positive and hopeful that there is way more to come then what little we can see in these first pics. I really didn't care for her choice of tiara or necklace either (a little too pageant/prom looking for me) but the brides sheer nude gown does look to be inspired by the beautiful gold foil leaf looking gown worn by the prince of Zumunda's arranged wife, played by the stunning Vanessa Bell Calloway.

I have high hopes for this affair. InTouch Weekly reports that Kandi "emerged from behind a wall of ostrich feathered fans in a custom Reco Chapple gown with a 12 foot train" Whoa! talk about lux detailing. The entire wedding party, which included matron of honor Tamera Wynn, maid of honor Carmon Cambrice, Tameka ‘Tiny’ Harris, Fantasia Barrino, Love & Hip Hop Atlanta’s Rasheeda Frost, and RHOA’s Phaedra Parks and Joyce Dallas, wore all white and guest was asked to wear shades of purple.

When the spinoff airs I hope to see the likes of energetic Zumundian dancers in full costume. I know you want to say "this is not your wedding"...lol but his display of exotic beauty and choreography, at the ceremony of Prince Akeem's arranged wedding, was one of my favorite parts of the movie.

Kandy told Intouch Weekly that "the whole thing was like a fairytail". Good for her thats the feeling every bride deserves!!
