Mario and Emily's Dream Wedding - It is all in the details


Are you ready to be O-D'd on Details.  Well get ready and get your notepad and pen warmed up.  This is Emily and Mario.  This duo is going to blow your socks off with their attention to beautiful, home made and unique attention to detail.

Oh, did I mention they are beautiful inside and out. 

Mario and Emily started their day off at Corpus Christi Catholic Church


Their colors were very pale pastels:  whites, creams, pewter and pinks.  Some things she made and I know she shopped on Etsy quite a bit.  We will start with their wedding programs.  Simple and elegant.



The runner was monogrammed with their names.  Just wait there is so much more.




After the ceremony we photographed a few places around the church.





The groom taking a few shots of his new wife.  I would too, did you see how gorgeous she is.






Then we were off to JW Marriott at Starr Pass.



This little beautiful mini bride is Mario and Emily's daughter.  She had the veil and everything. It was her day just as much as your mommy and daddy's.



So on to the amazing details.  Emily had ballerina princess bags for her daughter and the flower girl.  She gave each of her bridesmaids a personalize gift and makeup bag.  There were flowers galore, candle Abra's, crystal and more flowers.  Our favorite florist Elaine Taylor Fine Flowers did all the arrangements and just blew us away.  The Initials of our couple were beautifully glowing on the wall above our couple all night long.  Another very simple touch that makes a huge difference.  They had up lighting all over the venue giving a pink glow all around us.

Emily made this place card holder.  She took old wood she had around the house and they built this shallow box.  She then collected for months the broaches, buttons and flowers that were adhered to the front.  Small glass stones were placed inside the box probably to help the cards stay in place.   So different, So unique, So beautiful.




Now Mario helped out too.  He made these adorable signs that hung from the Bride and Groom's chairs.  He hand painted them and gave them a crackled finish. 



Back to the flowers.  I have NEVER seen a flower purse.  This is what the flower girl carried down the isle.  Is that to die for or what!!  That is an over the top detail.  Again, the florist is Elaine Taylor.



Even Emily's feet must have felt pretty.  These shoes are amazing.



I believe this is another Etsy find.  Oh-M-G, that is the cutest garter.  I do not know if I could throw one. I would want to keep them both for myself.



She carried on the crystal and fabric rosebud theme in the foyer as guest arrived.

This elegant cake was created by Ambrosia.  Our favorite cake designer.  In this picture you can see some of the pink up lighting in the background.




The first dance is always a poetic moment


















The groom did a cute little dance around the bride before taking off the garter.  It got the crowd going.
