Words cannot describe Chris & Kelly’s November 6th, 2010 fairytale wedding extravaganza at Villa Siena! The entire day was an elaborate production stunning everyone that walked in the door! But what more do you expect from the Owners of the Wedding MBA and the Phoenix Fashion Bridal Debut, the largest bridal show in the country!!
The entire villa looked exquisite decorated everywhere in Chris & Kelly’s sage, burnt sienna, & mocha brown color scheme! Their “coffee” theme throughout the entire wedding was so creative! Kelly & Chris first met at a starbucks two years ago & to celebrate that fateful first meeting the two incorporated coffee into every aspect of their fabulous wedding!
In replace of a traditional guest book, Chris & Kelly opted to have their guests sign a collection of coffee mugs so they may be reminded of their incredible wedding everytime they take a sip of coffee at home!
To accompany their elegant black placecards the couple had an edible “Town of Chris & Kelly” display made to showcase significant landmarks in their relationship including the hospital where Kelly works as a pharmacist, their new home, the Starbucks where they first met, and the airport where Chris fly’s as a pilot. The buidlings were covered in colored fondant & was an amazing focal point for guests to marvel at while mingling during cocktail hour in the Chianchiano Dining Hall.
Upon entering the Firenze Ballroom for Chris & Kelly’s grand reception, guests were greeted with a complimentary espresso bar provided by Creative Cappuccino! The aroma of Espresso, Cafe Americano, Cappuccino, Cafe Latte, Caramel Macchiato, & Cafe Mocha’s filled the entire villa keeping guests coming back for more & more all night!
The reception was filled with extremely touching toasts by both Kelly’s older sister & Matron of Honor Shannon & her father Will. Shannon had a local artist record a custom song she wrote for Chris & Kelly on their wedding day that was truly emotional for everyone! And Kelly’s father also wrote, sang, & recorded a custom song that he & his daughter danced to for their Father-Daughter dance! What an amazingly creative & personal touch! And keeping with the coffee theme, guests were served shots of espresso in a miniature Starbucks cup to toast the happy couple with!!
And to cap off a truly magnificent event, each & every one of Chris & Kelly’s guests walked away with a wedding goodie bag to thank them for joining them on their wedding day. Each bag was filled with a wedding cake shaped sugar cookie embossed with the couples monogram, a DVD of the entire day’s festivities burned on location by Godfather Films, a bouquet of flowers from an old fashioned flower cart, an espresso scented candle inside a tiny coffe mug, and a bresh brewed Caramel Macchiato to-go!
Congratulations Kelly & Chris! And thank you to Visionyard Studios Photography for providing all of the wonderful images!
