Romantic Wedding in Italian-Inspired Setting of Villa Siena

Quotes from the Couple:

“What did I love about my bride?

Can I say everything? I’m going to say everything. I honestly can’t pick just one thing I loved the most about Brittany on our wedding day. She was stunning in every way. 10’s across the board, just simply perfect. I’ll stick to the question though. Seeing how happy she was all night is what I loved the most. Her being the happiest bride meant the world to me. ” — Grant

“There were so many amazing and beautiful parts of the day, it’s too hard to pick just one. I loved getting ready with my Bridal Party. We went to my bridesmaid Justin’s house where he had cute d?cor set up, fresh fruit, homemade coffee cake, and mimosas waiting for us. Later in the day his boyfriend made us bruschetta and salad with wine. It was so fun talking and laughing as we got our hair and makeup done and it made the morning truly feel special. Another moment was our first look. Grant basically jumped back and put his hands over his mouth in shock when he saw me. And another was my father walking me down the aisle.” — Brittany

“It’s very hard to say which hour I would re-live because there’s so much going on throughout the entire day. A single moment, however, that’s a piece of cake. Our first look. I could re-live that moment for the rest of my life. The shear shock and awe of seeing the love of your life dolled up like that for the first time is indescribable. It’s something I can never forget.” — Grant

“I was so ready to see him! I am so happy that we decided to do the first look. It was a special, private moment that I will never forget. I felt excited and nervous, but happy to finally see him!” — Brittany

“I had originally seen Villa Siena online before we were even engaged and immediately loved it. Being Italian, I loved the architecture and overall feel of the Venue. Awhile later we actually attended a friend’s wedding there and that’s when Grant saw it and really liked it as well. We felt comfortable there right away. For our colors, we wanted to go with something more fall (as we did get married on the first day of fall J). Blue has always been my favorite color and I loved the way dusty blue, rose gold, and grey looked together for a romantic modern feel.” — Brittany

“During the ceremony it felt like there was no one else there. No family, no friends, only Brittany and I. I personally hate being the center of attention and public speaking so I was getting extremely nervous. All of that changed when she started walking down the aisle and made her way next to me. After that, holding her hands and looking into her eyes were the only things I could focus on. It calmed me, allowing me to overcome having to be in front of everyone. That’s the moment that stuck out the most to me during the ceremony. The ways she helps me without even knowing it. ” — Grant

“I loved having a private moment with Grant in the ballroom after the ceremony. I loved seeing my Grandma (who broke her hip two months prior and almost didn’t make the trip from New Jersey) out on the dance floor for most of the night. Seeing everyone truly enjoying themselves at our Wedding was such a good feeling. They are there to support you, and you want them to have a great night as well. (and it shows your event was a huge success!)

One other thing that makes me laugh looking back on, was before everyone was moved into the ballroom. My bridesmaids were taking me to the bathroom for the first time in my dress (that was an experience itself lol). We went to the far bathroom to stay away from the guests and started dancing and taking pictures in the hall. During this they started moving the guests to the ballroom where we were. My bridesmaids immediately grabbed me and we ran through the back hall (where the caterers were setting up food) like we were avoiding the “paparazzi”. Peeking around corners to make sure no one would see us. It was such a cute, fun moment that we shared after the seriousness of the ceremony.” — Brittany
