A Romantic Backyard Wedding

Blue skies and gorgeous views painted the picture for Lauren and Tom’s hillside estate wedding. Lauren, with the help of her bridesmaids, buttoned up the back of her dress, put on sparkling earrings and shared a small champagne toast before heading outside for her and Tom’s first look. Tom stood with his back to Lauren in a navy suit anxiously awaiting his bride. When he turned around to see Lauren in her beautiful lace and tulle dress, excitement filled both their faces. Photos of the bride and groom were taken, and then their bridesmaids and groomsmen were added to the mix. The bridesmaids wore light grey maxi dresses while the groomsmen wore navy suits and light grey ties. After photos, guests were filling up seats for the wedding ceremony overlooking a beautiful hilly backdrop. An arbor decorated in greenery and an assortment of yellow, white and peach flowers stood where Lauren met Tom at the head of the aisle. All eyes were on the bride and groom as vows were exchanged. The ceremony concluded with a sweet kiss and guests were invited to cocktail hour. Fig, Goat Cheese and Mascarpone Tarts and Lemon Parmesan Artichoke Hearts were tray passed while everyone mixed and mingled on a large patio overlooking the beautiful sunset. Shortly after, everyone found their way to their seats for toasts and dinner. Heartwarming words were shared as everyone clinked glasses and heard stories of the bride and groom. After toasts, the buffet opened serving up the Tuscan Menu: Sliced Tomatoes with Buffalo Mozzarella, Italian Chopped Salad, Fresh Baked Rosemary Focaccia, Chicken Piccata, Vegetarian Rotolo Bolzano, and Italian Green Beans with Pancetta. Following dinner, the cake was cut, and the newlyweds first dance was shared in front of friends and family. Guests were free to enjoy slices of their white cake with Bavarian filling or grab a mini dessert from our Italian Dessert Collection which contains an assortment of Tiramisu Cannolis, Cappucino Cream Puffs, Limoncello Cheesecake Bites, Chocolate Dipped Biscotti and Mini Tiramisu Cupcakes. The remainder of the evening was spent on the dance floor making lasting memories.
