Sandra and Nick Say “I Do” in Green and Blue
Sandra and Nick’s December wedding was a beautiful affair, decorated in a striking color palette of emerald green, navy blue, and burgundy accents. The high school sweethearts tied the knot outside in our Plaza Toscana, where 105 of their nearest and dearest came to celebrate their love story.
The bridal party was dressed to suit the theme on the big day. The bridesmaids wore long, emerald gowns in assorted styles. The groomsmen sported navy suits (with an emerald green tie for our groom). Even Sandra had an on-theme outfit; after wowing everyone with her lacy, high-necked white wedding gown, she later changed into a stunning green and gold caped gown.
During the wedding, Sandra and Nick participated in a handfasting ceremony. This Celtic ritual used three cords (green for Sandra, blue for Nick, and white for their divine love) to tie the newlyweds’ hands together and represent their bond to one another. The couple also read their own vows, promising to love each other forever. It was a touching and romantic ceremony that left many guests misty-eyed!
After Sandra and Nick were officially pronounced husband and wife, guests moved into the reception hall for dinner and dancing. The newlyweds kicked things off by dancing to “Leave the Door Open” by Bruno Mars. Then, they found a unique and fun way to excuse their guests to the buffet line: guests could go get dinner after correctly answering trivia questions! For dinner, everyone enjoyed a tasty buffet of a spring mix with fruit and feta cheese wrapped in radish, caprese chicken with grilled artichoke hearts, potatoes au gratin, beef tenderloin with cognac cream sauce, and a colorful assortment of vegetables.
The night was full of dancing, games, laughter, and love. It was the perfect wedding, and we know that Sandra and Nick will remember it fondly for years to come.
