A Classic Love in Shades of Pink<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

We get weddings of all sorts at the Villa Siena, from the craziest themes to the most traditional. Every ceremony is uniquely special and beautiful, but there\u2019s something truly great about a classic wedding with a chic, timeless style. And that\u2019s exactly what Raquel and Avery brought to the Villa on September 23rd! <\/p>\n\n\n\n

This wedding had all the hallmarks of a\npicture-perfect day: a beautiful couple, stunning fashion and decor, and a few\nspecial touches to make the day their own. For their decor, Raquel and Avery\nchose flowers in dusty pink and maroon (which we must say, looked amazing<\/em>\nagainst the yellow hues of our venue). <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Raquel looked incredible in her fit and flare\ngown with a lace illusion neckline and the maroon rose on Avery\u2019s tuxedo added\na gorgeous pop of color to his sleek black look. Our lovely newlyweds were also\naccompanied by a beautiful bridal party, complete with bridesmaids in dusty\npink, groomsmen in black tuxes with grey bow ties, and one honorary groomsman:\ntheir adorable little dog, Carlos!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The couple also made sure their family was\ninvolved in their special day \u2014 both physically and in spirit. One seat was\nleft empty during both the ceremony and reception, as a heartfelt tribute to\nRaquel\u2019s late father. The bride and groom also wrote their own vows to one\nanother, adding their own spin on the traditional marriage promises. There\nwasn\u2019t a dry eye in the house (thankfully, the guests received \u201chappy tears\u201d\ntissues as a favor!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

During the reception, Raquel and Avery kept\ntheir decor simple, taking advantage of the Villa ballroom\u2019s already stunning\nlook. Their tables were a simple, stark white, with gorgeous centerpieces that\nfeatured a single rose suspended in water, topped with a floating candle. The\ncouple\u2019s love for their family was still on display as Raquel\u2019s mother gave a\ntoast during dinner, and the bride and her brother shared a special dance to\nRascal Flats\u2019 \u201cI wish\u201d (after the bride and groom shared their first dance to\nEd Sheeran\u2019s \u201cPerfect\u201d). They also invited all fathers and daughters to join\nthem on the dance floor, sharing this special moment with all their nearest and\ndearest. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

It truly was a beautiful day, and we wish Raquel and Avery every happiness in the years to come. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
