Athena & Nicholas ~ April 22, 2023

Athena & Nicholas Bring Classic Glamour and a Personal Flair

Does it get any more romantic than white roses, baby’s breath, and orchids? When Athena and Nicholas joined us for their big day, romance and sophistication were at every turn. Athena was a stunning bride in her lace-trimmed gown (we loved the long sleeves!), and Nicholas and the bridal party went for a slick black theme.

This couple has known each other since middle school — when they were only 14 years old — and their life-long connection really showed. Athena and Nicholas shared personal vows about their lives together and how excited they are to start the next chapter — and we don’t think anyone will forget the look on Nicholas’ face as he watched his bride walk down the aisle.

And that connection between them — and their friends and families — carried through to the reception. Athena’s brother performed, which was an incredible treat, and Nicholas danced with three of the most important women in his life. We really got a chance to know the couple’s personality, with stones from all of the countries they’ve visited as table numbers, and a video montage for a fun personal twist.

Villa Siena looked absolutely stunning filled with florals, the sophisticated black and white bridal party, and this beautiful couple. (And that three-tiered cake was one of the most draw-droppingly beautiful creations we’ve ever seen.) We know that finding the right Arizona wedding venue can be hard, but we really felt like it was a perfect fit — and we’re sure they have a beautiful life ahead of them!
