Michele & Rudy at the Mission Inn

Michele & Rudy were married June 8, 2008 at the Mission Inn in Riverside. Black and Deep Reds were the colors of this very elegant affair. More than 400 Ecuadorian Roses in Black Magic Red were used throughout the Ceremony and Reception! Michele carried a dramatic bouquet of Black Magic Roses and Dark Burgundy Calla Lilies. In loving memory of her father, we intertwined his rosary into her bouquet. The bridal party consisting of a Maid of Honor, seven Bridesmaids, and two Jr Bridesmaids all carried bouquets of roses. The gentlemen all wore Dark Burgundy Calla boutonnieres. We hung flower clusters on the railings in the Chapel, along with hand tied bouquets accented with Black ribbon down the aisle. Votive candles along the Chapel walls gave a most romantic glow to the room! The reception was held in the Music Room. We provide the Black Dazzle Linens that covered all the tables, along with the Mahogany Chiavari Chairs that surrounded them. The bride placed Deep Red chargers at every place setting, that we accented with the matching Black Dazzle Napkins tied with a Black Satin Bow. The centerpieces were alternating low and high. The elevated centerpieces were grand arrangements of Roses, Dahlias, Asiactic Lilies, Snaps, Alstroemeria, with Black Accents of Seeded Eucalyptus & Curly Willow. The Giant Red Kissing Balls we hung from all four chandeliers were commented on by everyone who came through the room. This was definitely one of my favorite weddings this year!
