Brianna and Bryan’s Classic Black and White Wedding
When Brianna and Bryan got married last October, they wanted to celebrate their love with an elegant, sophisticated event. And with the help of the team here at Villa Siena, that’s exactly what they got!
The couple opted for a classic color scheme of black and white with silver accents. The bridesmaids wore flowy black gowns, Bryan and his groomsmen sported black tuxedos, and the (adorable) flower girl stole the show in her white dress with a silver sparkly belt and matching silver shoes. However, no one was as breathtaking as the bride: Brianna’s off-the-shoulder gown was covered in beaded lace that glittered as she walked down the aisle.
For the ceremony, our team decorated our indoor wedding space, La Stanza Chianciano, with candles, greenery, and a stunning white aisle runner. Brianna and Bryan had a family friend officiate the event, which added an extra special touch to the ceremony. He shared memorable stories of the couple’s earliest dates, the night Bryan proposed, and other sweet anecdotes that showed just how much the bride and groom love each other. Then, it was time to exchange vows and rings, and at last Bryan got to kiss his bride (hooray).
After the ceremony guests moved into the reception hall, which was gorgeous with black table cloths and tall centerpieces brimming with white roses, white hydrangea, and baby’s breath. The newlyweds danced to John Michael Montgomery’s “I Love The Way You Love Me,” Brianna and her father danced to “I Loved Her First” by the Heartland, and Bryan and his mother danced to Scott Keo’s “All to You.” Then, it was time to take a seat and enjoy a tasty meal of caesar salad, grilled vegetables, chicken breast, and penne pasta.
It wasn’t long before dinner turned to dance, with guests cutting a rug and laughing with friends and loved ones. Everyone enjoyed the traditional wedding games like bouquet and garter toss — and of course, they finished the evening with a sweet slice of cake (or cannoli or pizzelle). It was a beautiful wedding, and one we know that Brianna and Bryan will remember forever.
