Bella Collina: From Japan With Love

From Japan With Love

Naoko & Ryan decided on a destination wedding in Orlando. The bride’s family flew from Japan and the groom’s family drove down from New York. The guests were treated to magnificent views and architecture at Bella Collina that were right out of Tuscany. The ceremony included a translator for family and friends. Naoko’s sister was in her last month of pregnancy, but was able to join her in this monumental moment via Skype.

Naoko wanted an elegant and enchanting wedding featuring a soft pallet with a pop of color. The floral centerpieces included fluffy, white hydrangeas with pick roses. In order to capture the whimsical nature of the couple, we added candle votives hanging from tall curly willows. The bride’s bouquet had ivory tones with different size roses and included gemstones to capture the sparkle and joy of her smile. Orchids are good luck in Asian tradition. Therefore, the cymbidium dripping orchids from Thailand were a perfect fit to complete this happy day.

The three-tiered cake, provided by Party Flavors, continued the days color scheme of white and pink. With this in mind, we finished it off with pink bloom spray roses to accentuate the rose embellishment at the bottom. Once the guests had their fill of dinner and dessert, they danced the night away to music selected by Grant Hemond and Associates. The evening concluded with a fabulous sparkler exit. Jamie Reinhart Photography did a fabulous job capturing every detail and moment of the love-filled celebration.
