Exactly one year after Matt Walker proposed to Erica, the pair were wed with glamorous flair on New Year's Eve. Wanting to complement the grand aura of The Pfister's historic ballrooms, glowing candlelight lined the aisle leading to opulent red rose installations at the altar. Erica was a flawless embodiment of holiday glitz donning a chic Berta gown, fingerless gloves and strappy Louboutin heels, each piece sparkling with every movement. Amplifying the romantic vibe of the ceremony, the reception overflowed with metallic touches, accenting the old-world details of the space. Mood lighting and a four-course meal encouraged guests to lean into indulgence, while Matt and Erica were happy to be sequestered at their sweetheart table on the black-and-white checkered dance floor, sharing private moments of marital bliss. Decadent desserts honored the bride’s love of baking, and the newlyweds put on a show cutting into their larger-than-life five-tier wedding cake. Dancing ensued with the help of a lively band, keeping the energy high as midnight approached. Celebrating the holiday, Erica and Matt rang in the New Year, marking the beginning of their first year as a married couple with a champagne toast and balloon drop.
