November at Villa Siena is still a temperate time and weddings pick up over the holiday season when many brides prefer the warmer climate of Arizona to more northern states. November 11, 2012 marked the marriage of Jennifer and Brent. The bride looked radiant in a full length gown with slight ruffle edging the top of the dress and a structured fit to the hips where the skirt was pinned with crystal detailing. Absolutely stunning. To celebrate the fall season, the bride’s bouquet was a mix of Gerber daisies, calla lilies and roses with reds, gold and oranges mimicking fall sunsets. Her hair was loose and flowing under a blusher veil. A pearl drop necklace accompanied the ensemble. The mother of the bride helped her get ready as her bridesmaids made sure they were on hand for all the important moments.
Jennifer and Brent chose a small wedding party with just two bridesmaids and two groomsmen. The bridesmaids wore royal purple floor-length dresses. The groom wore a traditional tuxedo with bow tie while the groomsmen wore tuxedos with purple ties. The altar was adorned with a centerpiece of flowers similar to that of the bride’s bouquet, adding subtle color and personal taste to the outdoor ceremony space. During the ceremony, both the bride’s’ father and the groom’s father read verses, then the couple lit the unity candle.
The photographer captured the easy love between the two with their arms entwined and their hands creating a heart.
The reception was also an intimate affair in the Chianciano room. The welcome table was decorated with pinecones, red flowers, twigs and crab apples, giving the space a warm autumn feel. Centerpieces were vases of varying heights with a single burnt orange rose submerged in water and a votive candle on top. The table surrounding it was sprinkled with crystals.
Jennifer and Brent looked like professional dancers as they waltzed around the room room for their first dance. During the ‘longest married game,’ the winning couple of 58 years offered the newlyweds a little advice. Favors were packaged S’mores treats with a sign saying We’d like to share S’more love.
A beautiful day for a beautiful couple. Congratulations Jennifer and Brent.
