The bride held a full, posy-tied bouquet of red roses, and stood atop bedazzled silver heels. She says wedding dress shopping was her favorite part of preparing for the wedding.<\/p>\n<p>Branden sported a black, three-piece suit, accented with a solid red necktie over a white shirt, plus a red pocket square and fresh rose on his lapel.<\/p>\n<p>The outdoor wedding ceremony was held at the end of a red carpet sprinkled with red rose petals. The ceremony opened with a prayer, and the couple also lit a unity candle along with the groom\u2019s children.<\/p>\n<a href=\"https:\/\/www.villasiena.cc\/wedding-talk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/05\/Red-Villa-Siena-Wedding-4.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"wp-image-11398 alignright\" src=\"https:\/\/www.villasiena.cc\/wedding-talk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/05\/Red-Villa-Siena-Wedding-4.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"466\" height=\"700\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.villasiena.cc\/wedding-talk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/05\/Red-Villa-Siena-Wedding-4.jpg 666w, https:\/\/www.villasiena.cc\/wedding-talk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/05\/Red-Villa-Siena-Wedding-4-200x300.jpg 200w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 466px) 100vw, 466px\" \/><\/a>\n<p>During the indoor reception, dinner consisted of beef tenderloin paired with green beans and tortellini primavera.
