When Amber and Loren tied the knot this past July, they opted for a classy and bold color palette of black and red. Amber’s bridesmaids wore black, floor-length gowns, while Loren’s groomsmen dressed up their black suits with red shirts (Loren stuck with the classic black and white look). As for the bride, she was lovely in her off-the-shoulder, mermaid-style white wedding gown, complete with lace appliques and a flowing veil for extra drama. When she walked down the aisle, everyone who saw her (especially the groom) had big smiles on their faces!
The ceremony took place in our indoor space, La Stanza Chianciano. The ceremony was filled with special touches, from Loren’s father officiating the affair to Loren’s brother and Amber’s sister reading letters the couple had written about one another. The couple received communion during the ceremony, exchanged vows and rings, and before long the crowd was introduced to Mr. and Mrs. Andrade!
The reception started with a sparkler grand entrance as Amber and Loren entered the reception hall. The newlyweds then shared their first dance as a married couple, set to “Purpose” by Justin Bieber, before dancing with their respective parents. Guests enjoyed a dinner of Cesar salad, creamy mashed potatoes, green beans with toasted almonds, grilled chicken in a garlic herb glaze, and flat iron steak with green chimichurri sauce.
Guests laughed, took photos with polaroid cameras at their table, and danced the night away. It was a beautiful wedding, full of love and smiles — but no two smiles shone as brightly as the new Mr. and Mrs. Andrade.
