Mariela and Daniel’s Stunning January Celebration
Well, it’s safe to say Mariela and Daniel know how to party — their guests had a blast over the course of their wedding, and this couple definitely thought of everything. The entire event was a celebration, with black, white, and champagne tones bringing a sense of elegance every step of the way. In fact, Mariela’s dress — with that detailing on the bodice and dramatic veil — was picture-perfect with her white bouquet. And we loved the dark choice for the men, with the touch of champagne to match the bridesmaids’ dresses.
The reception was full of white flowers and dramatic centerpieces, and fun touches like the “Love” light-up sign at the head table. The cake was definitely something special, with four tiers and pearl detailing all the way down, plus a cute little “The Burkes” topper. Although the day was filled with the romance between Mariela and Daniel, it was also about the guests having an amazing time. The maid of honor, the best man, and the bride’s brother were all so obviously brimming over with happiness — not just for the couple, but for these two families to join as one. And when the couple danced their first dance to “In Case You Didn’t Know”, it did really feel like the whole room was coming together to watch and celebrate.
And boy, did they dance — with glow-in-the-dark favors and flip flops for those with tired feet, this couple really did think of everything. (We won’t be forgetting that money dance any time soon!) We really thought it was the perfect January celebration at an Arizona wedding venue, and we wish them all the love from Villa Siena!
