Romantic Terracotta and Blush Wedding at Grand Gimeno

Phil suited up in the Parlor while May slipped into her dress in the Powder Room, and once the bride and groom were ready, they met in the Courtyard breezeway for their first look. A tap on the shoulder turned Phil around to see his beautiful bride standing before him in a lace wedding gown. The couple shared sweet compliments and posed for photos together before joining their wedding party in the Olive Grove for group pictures. At the fire pit, each bridesmaid and groomsman were arranged for the perfect shot. With May and Phil in the center, the bridesmaids in light pink and groomsmen in gray surrounded them as the photographer clicked away. Afterwards, everyone lined up for the ceremony.

Guests entered the Olive Grove, signed the bride and groom’s guest book, then took a seat. White, pink, and terracotta floral arrangements lined the aisle and stood tall at the head. The music cued up and the wedding party made their entrances. In front of all their closest friends and family, Phil and May read handwritten vows, exchanged rings, and sealed the ceremony with a kiss.

The bar served up the newlywed’s signature drinks, an Old Fashioned and Paloma, while tray passed Filet and Wild Mushroom Wellingtons and Thai Chicken Spring Rolls made their way around the Olive Grove for cocktail hour. Guests lined up for our Wood-Fired Neapolitan and Classic BBQ Pizzas while mixing and mingling amongst each other. When the sun was almost set, everyone headed inside for reception.

Tables were topped with fresh floral centerpieces and flickering candles. The newlyweds made their grand entrance, shared their first dance, and took a seat at their sweetheart table. Zucchini Lime Chicken, Cabernet Braised Short Ribs, Vegetarian Rotolo Bolzano, Mashed Potatoes, Green Beans, and Pear and Walnut Salad was served while family and friends shared toasts. The dinner menu was selected by the bride and groom with help from our event specialist, Arielle. After dinner, May and Phil cut into their wedding cake and invited their guests to indulge in something sweet for dessert. The evening ended with everyone out on the dance floor for a group photo and dancing.
