Anne & Dee ~ February 11, 2011

Anne and Dee were married at the LDS Temple in Mesa and then hosted a fabulous reception at Villa Siena on February 11, 2011.    Anne and Dee had so many creative ideas for their wedding!    As guests entered the building, they were greeted by several amazing photos of the couple taken by Anne’s sister, Marnee Marriott,  a local AZ wedding photographer.     The guest book was filled with more incredible images created by Marriott Photography.   On each page the couple asked a question and the guests were able to provide insights and words of advice about marriage.    During cocktail hour guests could have caricature drawings made of them which were then stored in a decorative chest for the guests to collect after the event was over.    Anne and Dee also had large chalk boards set up all around with games such as a word search and picture matching.    Like many large LDS families, a multitude of children attended this event.    To keep them entertained, each child was given their own paper windmill, which was set out in glass bottles and tagged with each child’s name.    On each table, the couple set a tile square in the center with orange votives, a bronze candelabra, and an exquisite flower arrangement on top.    Around each candelabra were five different mini desserts for the guests to enjoy during the reception.    Instead of a traditional cake or candy bar Anne chose to do a full dessert table loaded with a variety of delicious cheesecakes.  Yummy!  The entire wedding was gorgeous and had such great attention to detail! We wish the best to this happy couple! Congratulations Anne and Dee!
