Sabrina and Jared wanted their wedding to be romantic, elegant, and sophisticated — like something out of a fairy tale. And if you ask us, their October nuptials were exactly that, thanks to their gorgeous color palette and an equally lovely venue (of course).
The couple chose to decorate their wedding with shades of maroon, red, and pink, with gold accents for an extra glamorous touch. They decorated our Piazza Toscana with deep red and pale pink florals, along with towering gold candlesticks and gold-backed chairs — including one memory chair reserved for the groom’s late brother.
These rich colors were seasonally appropriate (after all, warm tones are always lovely in the fall), but they also made the bride and groom stand out even more from their wedding party; Jared’s blue suit and cranberry-red bowtie looked great against these deep red tones, and Sabrina’s lacy, a-line gown (complete with a breathtaking train) was absolutely stunning.
During the ceremony, the couple shared sweet vows that they wrote for one another that brought a tear to the eyes of more than a few guests. Sabrina declared that Jared helped her find her purpose, while Jared called Sabrina his sunshine (too cute!). Soon, the two had exchanged rings and shared a kiss, making them officially husband and wife.
Guests moved inside for the reception, where they were treated to a delicious dinner — provided the table could sing a love song to the DJ first! The buffet-style meal included two salad options (caesar or spinach), penne pasta, garlic twist pasta with chicken, and garlic bread. For dessert, there was a beautiful tower of macarons, complete with a wide range of flavors so guests could take their pick!
The reception was filled with laughter, joy, and a lot of music. Sabrina’s bridesmaids sang during the couple’s first dance, and guests spent the evening having a blast as they danced the night away. But of course, no two people wore bigger smiles than Sabrina and Jared, whose happily ever after was just beginning with that magical night.
