November 2nd, 2012 marked the wedding of Brittney and Ryan at Villa Siena. In keeping with the fall look, the color scheme incorporated garnet reds, champagne and fall colors for bouquets. Gold was the perfect accent color for the time of year. The couple got together through fate. Ryan had borrowed a phone from his friend on New Year’s Eve, 2004. He called random girls because he didn’t have a date for the night. One of the girls he called accepted and ended up in love. Brittney probably never thought that would be how she would meet her Prince Charming.
To welcome guests to the Villa, a gold B and R hung from each handle of the wrought iron gates with red ribbon.
Brittney was stunning in her fitted wedding gown, which had a sweetheart neckline and beaded detailing throughout. Her shoes were a champagne color. The veil had crystal detailing along the bottom edge. The bride chose fall colors for her bouquet and tied them together with cream satin and a full bow. The bridesmaid’s bouquets were smaller versions of the bride’s bouquet tied with brown satin ribbon. The bridesmaids dresses were garnet colored, flowing to the ground. The flower girls had ivory satin dresses with gauze skirts. Ryan complimented the bridesmaids with a crimson tie and ivory vest. For his lapel he chose an orange calla lily. The groomsmen all wore champagne colored ties with orange roses for boutonnières.
Before guests were seated, a sign encouraged them ‘The two families are becoming one. We ask that you choose a seat and not a side.” The couple brought things together again during the ceremony as they lit a unity candle. The officiant sang and played the guitar during the ceremony.
The couple danced to Train’s Marry Me for the first time together as husband and wife. A gorgeous wedding cake of three tiers used red ribbon with fresh red and orange flowers as decoration. The favors were coasters.
At welcome table, a sign offered ‘May all your dreams come true.’ Together, we know all of Brittney and Ryan’s dreams will come true. Congratulations.
