December 21, 2012, Rachel and Robert held their wedding ceremony and reception at Villa Siena. The weather held for the outdoor ceremony and temperatures remained mild. Friends and family made up the bridal party consisting of twelve bridesmaids, six groomsmen, four flower girls and one ring bearer.
Rachel chose a vintage-style gown with mermaid fit and embroidery throughout the dress as well as the veil. She glowed. For jewelry, the bride chose a set of bangles that reflected the personal style of the bride. Peacock feathers mixed with yellow orchids and yellow and blue accent flowers created a unique bouquet. The bride’s hair was worn down in soft waves.
Robert wore a traditional black tuxedo with a white shirt and black tie. A calla lily was worn in his lapel.
The altar was decorated with lace and flowers for the ceremony. The florist created a beautiful pattern in white rose petals on the runner. As the bride walked down the aisle towards her groom, a string quartet played.
At the reception, guests were surrounded with professionally taken photos of Rachel and Robert. A coffee bar was available during the reception. For the sweet treat of the night, the cake was a sumptuous blend of red velvet, yellow and chocolate cake layers separated by French vanilla custard and strawberry slices.
Thank you for sharing your love with us, Rachel and Robert. Congratulations. We wish you the best for your life together.
