Sarah & Joseph ~ March 11, 2023

Culture and Romance Fill Sarah & Joseph’s Special Day

We love when couples bring their culture and traditions into the wedding — and we love a costume change. Well, Sarah and Joseph’s big day at Villa Siena had both. Using red, a classic wedding color in Chinese culture, alongside whites and soft pinks, the day was definitely brimming with romance.

There was plenty of room at this Arizona wedding venue, not just for their family and friends, but for two bridal looks! Sarah wore a traditional Western white dress and the traditional Chinese qun kwa, and she was a stunning bride in both. Plus Joseph’s slick blue suit also deserves a mention, he looked incredibly dashing with those black lapels.

Right from the start, it was clear that their loved ones were at the heart of this celebration. The couple had a tea ceremony to honor their elders, which was a beautiful, significant moment. And there was plenty of love between the couple, with them sharing personal vows as they took the next step in their lives together. When it came to the reception, the family greeted the guests and shared their table numbers, which was a lovely way of making everyone feel welcome and connected.

There was a lot to love about the reception — and the food. The tables were set up outside in the beautiful March weather, and surrounded by the stunning architecture it felt like a very special day indeed. Plus, brunch food is always a winner — from the omelet station to hashbrowns, there were so many crowd pleasers without ever losing that air of sophistication. It was a treat to host Sarah and Joseph on their big day, and we wish them all the best!
