5 Very Special Wishes for Giovanna & Jorge
We were thrilled Giovanna and Jorge joined us for their April wedding, an absolute picture of romance and elegance. The bride stunned in her lace longline fitted gown, complete with an open back — and Jorge’s dashing black suit incorporated a slick maroon bow tie to highlight their color scheme. In fact, the entire bridal party embodied the classic romance of the event, perfectly paired with the grandeur of their surroundings.
Every detail brought the couple’s relationship to life for the guests, from the flowers — roses, peonies, and delphiniums — to the enchanting strings playing in the prelude and the ceremony. The guests seemed overjoyed and honored to witness such a special day, and as the couple danced to “I Can’t Help Falling In Love With You” we were sure there couldn’t be a dry eye anywhere in sight. But that wasn’t the end of the dancing, and it was so special to see the whole family getting involved (the bride dancing with her brother and sister was a real treat).
There were personal touches throughout the ceremony and reception, serving as lovely reminders of the couple’s journey — the memory frame and photos were such a unique addition. But one of our favorite touches had to be the 5 sugared almonds. It’s an Italian tradition to give guests 5 sugar-covered almonds as a reminder to share the sweet and salty parts of life! The almonds also represent 5 wishes for the couple, traditionally: health, wealth, happiness, fertility, and a long life together. And everyone at Villa Siena certainly wishes them the same!
