September 19, 2014 Ali and TJ were married at Villa Siena. The couple met through a church function. For the ceremony Ali was stunning in a Wtoo Emerson strapless gown with fluted skirt and covered buttons down the back. Ali customized the look with lace straps and a thin crystal belt with blue satin shoes underneath. The look was finished with a diamond tiara and veil. The bridal bouquet combined orchids, roses and succulents. Ali’s bridesmaids wore different styles of purple dresses. TJ was vintage-stylish in a blue suit with skinny pants, vest and striped bowtie. His groomsmen wore grey suits with blue vests and different styles of bowties.
The altar was hung with ivy. During the ceremony the couple talked of how they completed each other. The ceremony included the washing of each other’s feet.
During the reception, the father of the bride gave a welcome speech before the best man and maid and matron of honor toasted the newlyweds. Ali and TJ took the dance floor as All of Me played for their first dance as husband and wife.
For those with a love of sweets, there was a pie table with six different types of pies, half of which were gluten free. The rhubarb, peach and chocolate pies were delectable. Guests were also offered gluten-free chocolate and vanilla cupcakes. Two coffee cups (symbolic of their new last name “Coffey”) with succulents spilling out of them topped a single-tiered cake with a rose design. A popcorn table offered regular, caramel and kettle popcorn.
For the cocktail hour Jenga was set out for entertainment, as was a green vintage couch for the guests to be photographed on. Pink up-lighting brought the couple’s flair to the reception room, as did centerpieces of white hydrangeas.
A signature Villa Siena Sparkler farewell sent the couple off to their new life together. Congratulations Ali and TJ. May your life be filled with a timeless love. We wish you the best.
