June 21, 2013, Zoe and Seth married at Villa Siena after what first appeared to be a relationship going no further than friendship. The two met at a mutual friend’s party. Seth was not interested in Zoe romantically but the pair bonded as friends. After a while they became more than friends and were engaged at Disneyland, where they returned for their Honeymoon. The couple looked smitten during the ceremony and reception.
Zoe looked like a ballerina in a strapless gown with beaded detailing to the waist. The full skirt of the gown consisted of ruffled layers. Her curly hair was worn in a half up-do with a tiara and diamond earrings for bit of sparkle.
The bridesmaids wore turquoise gowns with different style tops. All the bouquets combined an assortment of yellow, white and pale pink flowers.
Seth wore a charcoal grey tuxedo with satin piping and a white rose in the lapel. A white shirt, tie and Converse all star sneakers finished the look. The groomsmen complimented the bridesmaids with turquoise ties and yellow roses for their boutonnieres.
The guest table was decorated with the couple’s initials and a cute photo they had taken during an engagement photo shoot. They had a guest sign in book to record friends and family who joined them for the special occasion.
The ceremony was held indoors with the runner lined with flower petals and candles.
The flower girl carried a sign saying ‘Here Comes the Bride’ and also wore Converse all stars, as did the ring bearer. During the ceremony Beloved by Tenth Avenue North played. Zoe’s brother was the officiant and lightened the ceremony with a lot of humor. Communion was part of the ceremony.
For their first dance the bride and groom held each other during Turning Page by Sleeping at Last.
A gelato bar refreshed guests while miniature mason jars were filled with blue and white M&Ms as favors.
The three-tiered cake was decorated with ruffled fondant that mimicked the bride’s dress. A few fresh roses complemented the design.
A Villa Siena signature sparkler farewell sent the couple off to their new life as man and wife. Congratulations Seth and Zoe. May the friendship you found be the foundation for your life together.
