Shannon & Jarred ~ January 28, 2012

It was quite an eventful day here at Villa Siena on Jan 28th, 2012 when Shannon and Jarred said “I do” in front of 235 of their closest friends and family as well as 10 camera and crew from the hit TLC program “Four Weddings!”    Shannon’s theme, “Key to my Heart” was present throughout the wedding and guests enjoyed the cute and cleaver way she was able to weave it into each aspect of the event.   As the guests entered the Villa greeters encouraged them to take a moment to create happy wishes and words of wisdom for the bride and groom, which were then tied to keys and hung on mini trees.    Shannon and Jarred’s color scheme was perfect for January, with the bridesmaids in knee length violet dresses and groomsmen so dapper in grey tuxes with violet ties.    Absolutely breathtaking in her mermaid style strapless gown, Shannon chose a perfect vintage style veil.  Guests enjoyed Shannon and Jarred’s unique take on the photo booth idea.   With life sized cutouts of the bride and groom, guests had fun posing with Shannon and Jarred, who truly were celebrities that night, paparazzi and all!    Guests dug into the chest of dress up clothes to make unique and creative memories.    For centerpieces at banquet tables, Shannon chose a vintage photo of she and Jarred to represent what they know will become a long and lasting marriage.   Instead of a traditional wedding cake, Shannon and Jarred opted to serve cake pops and cupcakes, all presented beautifully with a small cake “top” for cutting!   Last week, the Four Weddings episode “Four Weddings…and a Hookah Lounge” aired on TLC.     We were so impressed with how graciously Shannon behaved as she attended the other 3 weddings.  At the end of the program, when the winner of the honeymoon was announced, Shannon was the only bride to say, “I am so happy for Ashley!”    Of course we felt that Shannon and Jarred’s wedding was, hands down, the winner!     It was such a pleasure to work with you and your families and to watch you create such a magical evening for your guests.  We wish you the very best in your future together.  Congratulations!
