Allie and Gabriel brought sass and fun to Villa Siena May 9, 2014. The couple married under a day filled with blue skies and smiles. The newlyweds had an outdoor reception to enjoy the warm Arizona sun. Instead of a traditional sit down dinner, finger foods and appetizers were served during the ‘Come & Go’ style reception.
To get ready for the day, Allie arrived early to set up all her centerpieces and the guest table, which featured pictures of the bride and groom.
For the celebration, Allie wore her hair in a braided up-do. Her fitted gown finished with sheer cap sleeves and a square neckline. The ivory dress featured a delicately embossed floral design. Down the back covered buttons created a timeless effect. A pearl necklace and bracelet were worn as accessories. The bridal bouquet appeared almost lacy with baby’s breath, roses and other white flowers, wrapped with flowing ribbon. Gabriel wore a grey tuxedo with pink tie fitting in with the light summer feel of the wedding.
The couple made a huge splash with their first post-wedding appearance to a dance choreographed by the bride, groom and the bride’s son. During the couple’s first solo dance, to A Thousand Years by Christina Perri, Gabriel dipped his bride. The father & daughter dance was to I Loved Her First finishing up with the mother & son dance to The Perfect Fan by Backstreet Boys.
For those needing a little refreshment, different flavored waters and lemonades were offered. An ivory three tiered wedding cake was decorated with fresh flowers scattered about and a gold letter ‘Z’ on top. Favors were bags of taffy and bubbles.
Congratulations Allie and Gabriel. May your days be filled with the humor and as much warmth your wedding day. We wish you the best.
