Laughter\nand Love for Elle and Michael<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

A blind date at a comedy club turned out to be true love for Elle and Michael \u2014 which is why this lovely couple tied the knot at the Villa earlier this year. Their April Nuptials had a striking rust and navy color scheme, plus a rustic vibe that we couldn\u2019t get enough of!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The wedding party really dressed to impress\nfor the big day. Elle\u2019s bridesmaids wore elegant rust-colored\nspaghetti-strapped gowns, while Michael and his groomsmen wore navy suits with\nrust bow ties. Elle wore a Mia Solano ball gown with a v-neck, lace detailing\nalong the bodice, and a cathedral length veil for a long, dramatic train. She\nwas an absolute vision, and you could tell that Michael knew he was a very\nlucky man.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The ceremony took place in our Plaza Toscana,\nwhich was decorated with white floral arrangements and a wooden cross that\nMichael had made by hand. It was a family affair, with Elle\u2019s grandfather\nofficiating the ceremony and another family member singing during the unity\ncandle ceremony. Elle and Michael exchanged vows and rings, then kissed and\nofficially became husband and wife (yay!)<\/p>\n\n\n\n

After the ceremony, guests enjoyed cocktail\nhour (complete with a performance by musician Lee Perreira) before moving\ninside for dinner and dancing. The newlyweds kicked things off by dancing to\n\u201cHeaven\u201d by Jason Aldean and Bryan Adams, before Michael and his mother danced\nto Zac Brown Band\u2019s \u201cChicken Fried.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Guests enjoyed a meal of spring mix salad\n(with baby spinach, strawberries, apples, grapes, feta cheese, and pecans with\na poppy seed vinaigrette), green beans with toasted almond slivers, herb\nroasted red potatoes, chicken breast in a mushroom and marsala wine reduction,\nand filet mignon with burgundy bordelaise and mushroom duxelles sauce.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The reception was a fun-filled affair, with\nplenty of dancing, laughing, and raising a glass to the happy couple. By the\ntime everyone gathered outside for the sparkler exit, everyone was wearing big,\nbeaming smiles \u2014 but no one was happier than our newlyweds. We were so happy to\nbe part of Elle and Michael\u2019s big day, and we wish them all the best!<\/p>\n\n\n\n
