Fall Color Palette Wedding at Grand Gimeno

Jenny shared a first look with her bridesmaids in the Grand Gimeno Powder Room, then headed out to the Olive Grove for her first look with Joey. On the planner’s cue, Joey turned around to see his beautiful bride standing before him in a strapless lace wedding dress. Smiles filled their faces and sweet compliments were exchanged. The couple read handwritten, personal vows to one another, then their wedding party joined them for photos. The bridesmaids were dressed in shades of blush and the groomsmen were suited up in black. Together the group smiled for the camera for photo memories, then lined up for the ceremony.

Guests entered the Olive Grove, signed Joey and Jenny’s guest book, then took a seat. White pillars and clay vases stood as the ceremony backdrop filled and decorated with a warm color palette of fresh flowers. Once everyone was in attendance, the wedding party made their entrances. In front of all their closest family and friends, the bride and groom recited vows, exchanged rings, and sealed the ceremony with a kiss.

Falafel Bites, Lamb Meatballs, and Fig, Goat Cheese and Mascarpone Tarts were tray passed around the Olive Grove while the bar served up Aperol Spritz and Old Fashioned signature cocktails. Everyone mixed and mingled while the newlyweds snuck away for some photos together as husband and wife around the venue. Once the sun had fully set, everyone checked the seating chart and headed inside for the reception.

Inside, tables were topped with floral-filled bud vases, warm red details, printed menus, and flickering candles. Jenny and Joey made their grand entrance, shared their first dance, then took a seat at their sweetheart table. Toasts were shared and Grilled Greek Chicken Kabobs, Beef Souvlaki, Greek Lemon Potatoes, Pita Bread, Grilled Moroccan Vegetables, and Santorini Salad was served. The dinner menu was selected by the bride and groom with help from our event specialist, Lauren. After dinner the couple cut their wedding cake and invited their guests to indulge in our Italian Dessert Station with a collection of Fresh Fruit Tarts, Chocolate Dipped Cannoli, Florentine Cookies, Meyer Lemon Cheesecake Bars, and Mini Italiano Tiramisu Cupcakes. The evening ended with an outfit change for Jenny, lots of dancing, an In-N-Out late night snack, cigar lounge, and plenty of well wishes shared with the bride and groom.
