In back, a large bow added a dramatic element. Her bridesmaids were dressed in assorted floor-length white and ivory dresses. The groom was clothed in a grey tuxedo with a white shirt and ivory satin tie.<\/p>\n<div id=\"attachment_10317\" style=\"width: 410px\" class=\"wp-caption alignright\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.villasiena.cc\/wedding-talk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/03\/Villa-Siena-LDS-Reception-13.jpg\" rel=\"attachment wp-att-10317\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-10317\" class=\" wp-image-10317\" src=\"https:\/\/www.villasiena.cc\/wedding-talk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/03\/Villa-Siena-LDS-Reception-13-683x1024.jpg\" alt=\"villa siena wedding, villa siena gilbert, LDS wedding, gretchen wakeman photography\" width=\"400\" height=\"600\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.villasiena.cc\/wedding-talk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/03\/Villa-Siena-LDS-Reception-13-683x1024.jpg 683w, https:\/\/www.villasiena.cc\/wedding-talk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/03\/Villa-Siena-LDS-Reception-13-200x300.jpg 200w, https:\/\/www.villasiena.cc\/wedding-talk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/03\/Villa-Siena-LDS-Reception-13-768x1152.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.villasiena.cc\/wedding-talk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/03\/Villa-Siena-LDS-Reception-13.jpg 800w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 400px) 100vw, 400px\" \/><\/a><p id=\"caption-attachment-10317\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">villa siena wedding, villa siena gilbert, LDS wedding, gretchen wakeman photography<\/p><\/div>\n<p>The couple married at temple before arriving at Villa Siena for their reception where they exchanged <em>Why I Love You <\/em>remarks to celebrate their marriage. At the reception, thank you notes written by the bride were awaiting each guest at their place setting. The thank-you notes doubled as place cards. Kids weren\u2019t left out of the fun of the day. At each child\u2019s place setting was a coloring book and markers for before dinner and stuffed animals to play with after dinner. With all eyes on them, the couple took to the dance floor to <em>Fly Me To The Moon<\/em> by Frank Sinatra.<\/p>\n<p>After dinner, wedding cake was served.\u00a0 The cake was three tiers with the bottom tier decorated with a fondant rose pattern, a W monogram on the middle tier and pearl beading around the top tier. In addition to the formal cake there was also an almond, spice and chocolate groom\u2019s cake served and a table of assorted homemade cookies including homemade Oreos. What are cookies and cake without gelato? A multi-flavored gelato bar was just what was needed to fill in the cracks between dinner and dessert.<\/p>\n<div id=\"attachment_10319\" style=\"width: 410px\" class=\"wp-caption alignleft\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.villasiena.cc\/wedding-talk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/03\/Villa-Siena-LDS-Reception-17.jpg\" rel=\"attachment wp-att-10319\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-10319\" class=\" wp-image-10319\" src=\"https:\/\/www.villasiena.cc\/wedding-talk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/03\/Villa-Siena-LDS-Reception-17-683x1024.jpg\" alt=\"villa siena wedding, villa siena gilbert, LDS wedding, gretchen wakeman photography\" width=\"400\" height=\"600\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.villasiena.cc\/wedding-talk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/03\/Villa-Siena-LDS-Reception-17-683x1024.jpg 683w, https:\/\/www.villasiena.cc\/wedding-talk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/03\/Villa-Siena-LDS-Reception-17-200x300.jpg 200w, https:\/\/www.villasiena.cc\/wedding-talk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/03\/Villa-Siena-LDS-Reception-17-768x1152.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.villasiena.cc\/wedding-talk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/03\/Villa-Siena-LDS-Reception-17.jpg 800w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 400px) 100vw, 400px\" \/><\/a><p id=\"caption-attachment-10319\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">villa siena wedding, villa siena gilbert, LDS wedding, gretchen wakeman photography<\/p><\/div>\n<p>Congratulations Rachael &amp; Matt.
