White and shell pink accents added a warm, delicate feel to the celebration. As Blanca walked towards her groom to say \u2018I Do,\u2019 she wore a fitted strapless gown with mermaid flair. The Maggie Sottero gown was accented with a beaded design just above the waist. A veil, with a touch of sparkle, flowed around the bride\u2019s long, dark hair, which was worn in a partial up-do. Blanca carried a white and pale pink rose bouquet. CJ, all smiles on his wedding day, wore a black tuxedo with black bowtie. His groomsmen also wore black tuxedos but with shell pink bowties as a compliment to the bridesmaids who wore soft, pink lace strapless dresses with a sash. Taking a modern turn, one of the friends to stand with the bride was a man who wore a tuxedo.<\/p>\n<a href=\"https:\/\/www.villasiena.cc\/wedding-talk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/11\/C-B_reception_96.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter  wp-image-8013\" src=\"https:\/\/www.villasiena.cc\/wedding-talk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/11\/C-B_reception_96.jpg\" alt=\"C+B_reception_96\" width=\"500\" height=\"333\" \/><\/a>\n<p>The couple arrived at the Villa after they exchanged their vows at a church ceremony. A live band, Sol Down, played during the reception as red and purple uplighting created a jazzy atmosphere in the room.<\/p>\n<p>Blanca and CJ sat at a couple\u2019s table for the dinner with the letters AMOR setting atop the center of their head table. On the guest\u2019s tables candles floated in glass vases with pink roses within.<\/p>\n<a href=\"https:\/\/www.villasiena.cc\/wedding-talk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/11\/C-B_reception_123.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter  wp-image-8014\" src=\"https:\/\/www.villasiena.cc\/wedding-talk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/11\/C-B_reception_123.jpg\" alt=\"C+B_reception_123\" width=\"354\" height=\"499\" \/><\/a>\n<p>Before the meal was served a speech and prayer was recited in both English and Spanish. The best man and maid of honor gave speeches honoring the newlyweds. The couple\u2019s first dance was celebrated with <em>This Magic Moment<\/em> by The Drifters.<\/p>\n<p>Those who enjoy sweet treats were not disappointed. Instead of a traditional wedding cake, the bride and groom served three delicious flavors of Bundt cakes. Red velvet cake was covered with layered white frosting with white roses in the middle. A cookie buffet was set up for guests to take home their choice of Oreo cookies, chocolate chip cookies and more.<\/p>\n<a href=\"https:\/\/www.villasiena.cc\/wedding-talk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/11\/C-B_reception_42.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter  wp-image-8015\" src=\"https:\/\/www.villasiena.cc\/wedding-talk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/11\/C-B_reception_42.jpg\" alt=\"C+B_reception_42\" width=\"352\" height=\"529\" \/><\/a>\n<p>Congratulations Blanca and CJ.
