The Happiest Wedding on Earth
Many people first learn about true love from the Disney movies they watch as a child. So when they find their one true love — as Alexia and Gino have — it’s only natural to pay tribute to those fairy tale stories! This sweet couple tied the knot at the Villa on June 22 in a Disney-themed wedding filled with magic.
Alexia looked like a genuine princess in her strapless mermaid gown from Bella Lily Bridal. We were also completely in love with her bouquet — each flower was hand-carved from balsa wood and hand-painted by the bride! Gino was a handsome prince in his blue suit and maroon tie (with sneakers to match).
Our indoor ceremony space was the perfect spot for Alexia and Gino to exchange their vows; the elegant, intricate fireplace looks like something out of a castle! The couple’s ceremony focused on their fairytale romance, as they shared vows they wrote for one another and officially began their happily ever after. But it was during the reception that all the Disney details really had a chance to shine.
The guests seating cards were specially designed to look like Fast Passes from the Disney theme parks. Tables were marked by painted cards, each bearing the image of a famous fairy tale couple, and decorated with a stunning rose under a bell jar. Even their cake — a deliciously simple, three-tier naked cake — couldn’t resist sneaking in a hidden Mickey. The couple shared their first dance to Ed Sheeran’s “Perfect” while guests enjoyed a dinner of salad, chicken limone, gorgonzola chicken, and pasta rustico. It was certainly a royal feast!
It was such a treat letting Alexia, Gino, and their loved ones “be our guests” here at Villa Siena. We wish the bride and groom many happy years of love, faith, trust… and of course, a little pixie dust!
