October 21, 2012 marked the marriage of Brittany to Victor at Villa Siena. Champagne pink and honeydew green were chosen as the color scheme, making Arizona feel like spring for a day.
Brittany chose a retro look with a birdcage veil that sat in long dark curls swept up on one side. Her gown offered a hint of diamond detailing on the dress, wrapping around her body and softly flaring out into a ruffled skirt. Brittany accented the gown with a diamond wrist cuff, earrings and a necklace. The bride’s bouquet of all white roses was lined with thick green leaves. Each rose showcased a sparkling brooch in the center to personalize the bouquet. Helping her prepare for the big moment, Brittany’s bridesmaids assisted with every detail in their pale pink gowns. The bridesmaid’s dresses were fitted and more structured than most bridesmaids dresses today, but looked fantastic on the girls. Their bouquets were hydrangeas with just a couple pink roses sprinkled in.
The groom was confident in a tuxedo with white shirt, black tie and white rose in the lapel. Victor shared cigars and laughs with his groomsmen before the wedding ceremony.
During the exchanging of vows, the couple lit a unity candle and read 1 Corinthians 13. After the dinner, Victor surprised Brittany with champagne bottle sparklers. The couple offered mini bottles of sparkling wine for favors. A photo of the couple served as the label for the wine favors. Each chair at the reception was tied with a pale pink bow and the tables all had tall-standing bouquets of flowers.
Both the day and the couple were beautiful. Congratulations Brittany and Victor. May you celebrate every day of your lives with the same joy and love you celebrated your wedding day.
