Blanca and CJ were married at Villa Siena August 29, 2014. White and shell pink accents added a warm, delicate feel to the celebration. As Blanca walked towards her groom to say ‘I Do,’ she wore a fitted strapless gown with mermaid flair. The Maggie Sottero gown was accented with a beaded design just above the waist. A veil, with a touch of sparkle, flowed around the bride’s long, dark hair, which was worn in a partial up-do. Blanca carried a white and pale pink rose bouquet. CJ, all smiles on his wedding day, wore a black tuxedo with black bowtie. His groomsmen also wore black tuxedos but with shell pink bowties as a compliment to the bridesmaids who wore soft, pink lace strapless dresses with a sash. Taking a modern turn, one of the friends to stand with the bride was a man who wore a tuxedo.
The couple arrived at the Villa after they exchanged their vows at a church ceremony. A live band, Sol Down, played during the reception as red and purple uplighting created a jazzy atmosphere in the room.
Blanca and CJ sat at a couple’s table for the dinner with the letters AMOR setting atop the center of their head table. On the guest’s tables candles floated in glass vases with pink roses within.
Before the meal was served a speech and prayer was recited in both English and Spanish. The best man and maid of honor gave speeches honoring the newlyweds. The couple’s first dance was celebrated with This Magic Moment by The Drifters.
Those who enjoy sweet treats were not disappointed. Instead of a traditional wedding cake, the bride and groom served three delicious flavors of Bundt cakes. Red velvet cake was covered with layered white frosting with white roses in the middle. A cookie buffet was set up for guests to take home their choice of Oreo cookies, chocolate chip cookies and more.
Congratulations Blanca and CJ. May your lives together burn as brightly as the sun and stars. We wish you the best.
