Natasha and William celebrated their wedding reception at Villa Siena July 20, 2012. Their ceremony was held at the Pilgrim Rest Church in Phoenix. The couple was all smiles as they posed for pictures throughout the Villa. Natasha chose a red, white and black color scheme for the reception. A vibrant red created a dramatic accent to Natasha’s dress, as well as edging her veil. Satin red heels completed the look. The bride’s bouquet consisted of calla lilies. For jewelry, the bride chose an exquisite chocker with drop earrings. With her hair swept off her face and her blusher veil lifted back, the bride glowed. Her husband, William, wore a black tuxedo with ivory vest and tie and a white rose in his lapel with a red accent. After photographs were done, the couple joined the reception.
The reception table held a great wooden block frame with pictures of the couple and three inscriptions reading Cherish, Family, and Love. Guests signed a wedding tree instead of a guest book. Advice cards were available during cocktail hour for those wishing to share the secrets of their successful relationships. The children attending the reception were well looked after with a table to themselves, filled with buckets and shovels, books, puzzles and games. The candy table with take-home bags was a huge hit with kids and adults alike.
For their first dance, Natasha and William chose You by Jesse Powell. Dinner of prime rib and roasted pork loin with Anaheim chili was served with garlic smashed potatoes as guests offered their congratulations to the couple. The bride changed into a stunning white cocktail gown with spaghetti straps for dancing. After dinner, cake was served. The four-tiered masterpiece had fondant bows with diamond accents and a ‘W’ on the cake. Fresh red roses and white calla lilies topped the cake. As a surprise, Natasha had a small lemon cake made for the groom using a family recipe. The groom had his own surprise with a small carrot cake for the bride. The little details in a marriage are what hold people together. Congratulations Natasha and William. May you celebrate each other every day of your lives.
