Annalee & Brandon had a HOT pink wedding with men in WHITE  and ladies in FUSCHIA.   Brandon and his six groomsmen made a formidable wall of handsome young men while Annalee and her six attendants were pretty in pink .    Don’t miss the photo of the men on their way to the ceremony.  Brandon looks calm, confident and ready for the happiest day of his life and his groomsmen look like they are ready to have some fun!   The ceremony was very traditional with a broom jumping ritual.  The broom was color coordinated ~ hot pink, of course.   A photobooth was set up for guests to create photo memories of the event during cocktail hour and the reception.  Both families were very helpful in decorating the arch, ceremony and ballroom spaces.   A family friend kept everyone on the dance floor while Aunt Doris was on the mic as the Master of Ceremonies.    A lovely event for a lovely couple.  We wish you the best in your future!

Stephanie & Ryan ~ May 23, 2010

Stephanie and Ryan created a new family at Villa Siena on May 23rd, 2010.  Ryan, a police officer.    He and his two children welcomed Stephanie into their family in a sweet and touching way.    The ceremony included all four of them and the kids did a beautiful job pouring different colors of sand into the glass vase.   Stephanie’s choice of a fuchsia, black and white color scheme made this event fabulously colorful.   She selected a swirled black and white linen that complimented the exuberant hot pinks and classic black.   Stephanie created the menu cards and other stationary items herself!   Stephanie and Ryan were joined by their friends and family to celebrate and Ryan’s son put everyone to shame with his expert dance moves at the reception.   Ryan’s daughter earned big points by putting  together the slideshow for the event.      Stephanie’s grandfather and the best man both gave very touching toasts to the couple.   We are so happy to se this family come together.  We wish you the very best in your future together!
