Guests of the bride and groom were welcomed to Villa Siena with a \u2018D\u2019 hanging from one side of the entrance gates and an \u2018M\u2019 hanging from the other gate. A white runner, with lavender petals lining it, led to the altar where a fire brought warmth to the day. A beautiful lavender and white rose floral arrangement sat on the ledge of the altar.

Her hair was curled and worn in an up-do. Her veil sparkled with crystal edging. The bridal bouquet brought together purple calla lilies, lavender and white roses and purple tulips. Devon was handsome in his army dress blues. His groomsmen wore grey tuxedos with purple ties and vests, each with a lavender rose in their lapel, which complimented the bridesmaids\u2019 ensembles of purple dresses with lace straps and sheer purple wraps.<\/p>\n<a href=\"https:\/\/www.villasiena.cc\/wedding-talk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/03\/OweWed-1387.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter  wp-image-8421\" src=\"https:\/\/www.villasiena.cc\/wedding-talk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/03\/OweWed-1387.jpg\" alt=\"OweWed-1387\" width=\"498\" height=\"331\" \/><\/a>\n<p>In the Chianciano Room, tables were set for an intimate reception.
