Hanifah Shabazz and Michael McCray’s dramatic color scheme of gold, navy, and maroon set the scene for their June 22, 2019, wedding at Shiloh Church and a reception at Dayton Masonic Center that was regal and elegant yet joyous and fun.

One of the standout features of the decor was the bold use of gold manzanita trees as table centerpieces, which Hanifah chose to represent family and strength. Each place setting also had a personal thank-you message from the couple.
When the wedding party entered the reception dancing to Beyoncé’s “Before I Let Go,” it set the tone for the whole night. Guests could hardly wait until the end of dinner to hit the dance floor for the rest of the reception.
