Fall colors and cooler temperatures make November a perfect time for a wedding in Arizona. November 9, 2013, Villa Siena welcomed JoAnna and Nick for their wedding celebration and reception. The couple met at work.
JoAnna’s style brought a vintage, 1950’s feel to her wedding ensemble. The bride’s dress was strapless and fitted with a ruffled skirt that flowed out into a train. A three string pearl necklace complimented the fascinator with face veil that JoAnna wore. She looked as if she stepped out of a magazine. Of course, Nick’s black tuxedo with white vest and tie should not be overlooked as adding simple class to the day.
Guests were welcomed to the ceremony site with chairs tied with golden bows and flower balls on the edge of each row. A white runner with pink rose petals edging it led the way to the altar. Candles glowed around the fountain that added a calming splash of water amongst the flower petals sprinkled in its waters.
The bridesmaids wore pale pink dresses with a strap around the neck. They all carried bouquets of pink and white roses, while the bride’s bouquet held a gold butterfly with gold baby’s breath.
During the ceremony, the couple presented their mothers with a surprise rose ceremony to acknowledge the important role they play in their children’s lives. JoAnna and Nick also performed a sand ceremony.
At the reception, gold runners adorned the tables with candelabras. A sweets table was set up for favors with candies in pink and white with bags of gold. But the sweets table wasn’t quite as sweet as the wedding cake topper of the couple kissing surrounded by fresh flowers and ribbon.
The best man and maid of honor talked about the amazing attributes of their friends. Then JoAnna and Nick danced to Angel.
Congratulations JoAnna and Nick. May your lives be filled with a love both familiar and new each and every day. We wish you the best.
