November 4, 2012 welcomed Amanda and Aaron to Villa Siena for their wedding ceremony and reception. Amanda looked like a fairytale princess with a strapless dress with embroidered flowers on the bodice and a bow tied around the waist. A beautiful tool skirt flowed out. The bouquet mixed white flowers with greenery. Amanda’s hair was swept up with a decorative diamond hair clip and a few curls to frame her face. Aaron was handsome in a traditional tuxedo with a white bow-tie and vest that had a subtle pattern on it. The bridesmaids and groomsmen were both outfitted in navy. The bridesmaids had strapless floor-length dresses with white bouquets while the groomsmen had navy bow ties and vests.
The bride walked down a white runner towards the white floral centerpiece that adorned the altar. White candles were lit on either side of the flowers. The unity candle rested in a holder made of birch bark with the letters A+A inside of a heart and the date of marriage branded on the bark.
After the wedding, guests were welcomed to the reception where centerpieces of white hydrangeas and spider mums decorated the tables. Table numbers were found on burlap sacks with the number branded on them. Favors were personalized champagne bottles in gauze bags with a ribbon tied around them.
For the first dance, the couple held each other to Franki Valli’s Can’t Take My Eyes Off You. Then Amanda’s father stepped in to dance to I Loved Her First by Heartland. They had a beautiful white fondant cake with beaded detailing and sculpted fondant flowers.
The couple enjoyed a traditional Villa Siena sparkler farewell as they made their way into the night and towards a new life together. Congratulations Amanda & Aaron. May you always find happiness and love in one another.
