Okay, so we have to rave about Jaclyn’s classically elegant wedding gown. This lace creation incorporated delicate beading on top with a formfitting, empire-waist bodice. Buttons descended down her back while the front was a combination of simplicity and summer. Diamond chandelier earrings and a simple diamond hoop bracelet were all that were needed to add to the sparkle in Jaclyn’s eyes. The bridesmaids wore chiffon above-the-knee dresses with a subtle combination of shades of purple for the bouquets. The bride’s bouquet stood out with the addition of delicate white flowers accenting the design. Steve defined the look of a gentleman throughout the day. For the ceremony, Jaclyn walked down a white runner strewn with light purple petals. Villa Siena’s European style fountain was also adorned with petals. Their love for one another was clear as they danced their first dance to ‘I Can’t Help Falling in Love With You,’ originally sung by Elvis Presley. To help guests sweeten their memories of the night, they invited to indulge in a custom Candy Bar with a sign reading Love is kind, love is sweet. Grab a bag and enjoy a treat!
Rachel looked absolutely breathtaking in her strapless white gown, adorned with a delicate diamond necklace, as she pledged her love to her husband Matt at Villa Siena, March 31, 2012. Since the happy couple met at a hospital they both work in, they decided to incorporate a medical theme for decorations. No open-heart surgery was necessary for Rachel and Matt to open their hearts and their souls to one another during the ceremony. As guests adjourned to the reception, they were guided to their tables by medical terms instead of table numbers. While the reception was the first day of the rest of their lives together, the couple chose ‘Last Night on Earth’ by Green Day. And indeed, the night was celebrated as if it could have been the last night on earth. No one held back on sharing love, fun and festivities. Then the really big news of the night came. First the sister of the bride offered a heartfelt toast. But when the two best men got up to speak, they had more than words of advice or memories to share, they had an announcement to make; they told the gathering of Rachel’s pregnancy. There was a flush of excitement in the room. Fortunately there were mini first aid kits as wedding favors in case anyone was feeling faint with happiness. The evening was captured with cameras left on each table and we can’t wait to see what moments were captured. To help guests stay refreshed, a gelato bar and cake were enjoyed by all. The farewell included a sparkler exit, which is always a favorite moment for us at Villa Siena. Congratulations Rachel and Matt. We hope every day is as much of a celebration as your wedding day.
March is one of the most popular months for weddings at Villa Siena, as sun-kissed days allow for outdoor weddings while much of the country is still experiencing snow and winter temperatures. Alycia and Josh celebrated their love March 18, 2012 under cerulean skies softened by the occasional passing cloud. The wedding party filled the courtyard with laughter and stolen moments during their pre-wedding photo shoot. Guests took their seats, filled with anticipation until Alycia wowed guests appearing to float down the aisle in a form-fitting mermaid-style gown with subtle beaded accents. Her radiance and sparkle was captured throughout the day and was mirrored in the gems that adorned her bouquet comprised mainly of white and lilac roses. Josh’s smile expressed his love without having to say a word, looking the part of the distinguished groom. The reception took place indoors with the wedding party commanding attention at the center of the room, the bride and groom looking like a King and Queen. Guest tables were decorated with flower petals and Minicakes on chargers as centerpieces. Two signature drinks were served and helped loosen up the guests for an evening of dancing and well-deserved festivities. A DVD slideshow added a personal touch to the evening. For their farewell the couple chose a signature Villa Siena sparkler exit. Thank you, Alycia and Josh, for choosing Villa Siena to begin your life together as husband and wife.
After a lovely church ceremony at St. Anne’s, Jackie & Donnie celebrated in style with friends and family at Villa Siena on March 10, 2012. After enjoying cocktail hour, guests were ushered down to the ballroom for a fun filled reception. The bridal party made quite an entrance! Each couple had a feature song specially chosen by the bride and groom, as well as a few personal words about their relationship with Jackie and Donnie. Donnie performed for his bride and the guests. What a treat! Purple and green floral arrangements laced with butterflies adorned the tables, in addition to the bride and groom’s incredibly creative favors. Guests were given a bottle of Jackie and Donnie’s own oil blend, symbolizing their families joining as one, as well as a bag of their own spice with a butterfly-shaped dish. Disposable cameras were conveniently placed at each table, which the guests used to help Jackie and Donnie capture memories from the night. On top of all that, guest were treated to a candy table with a delicious assortment of purple and green candies, a dessert and coffee table, and memorable CD’s for all the guests that read “Love beats to its own tune,” next to guitar picks with the bride and groom’s names and wedding date! What a fun way to add a personal touch to an unforgettable evening. At the end of the night, everyone was treated to a tasty Panini send-off, and then the bride and groom shared a fabulous sparkler exit! Congratulations Jackie and Donnie! It was such a pleasure to be part of your special day! We wish you all the best in your future together.
