Colorful Mesa Bella Wedding

Carolina and her bridesmaids got ready inside the master bedroom on the second floor of Mesa Bella while Kyle and his groomsmen got ready inside the clubhouse on the pickleball courts. After all accessories, ties, and shoes were on, the bride and groom met on the outdoor staircase for their first look. Kyle turned around to see his beautiful bride standing before him in a lace wedding dress, and the two shared hugs, kisses, and sweet compliments. After the intimate moment, the couple joined their wedding party for group pictures on the pickleball court then lined up for ceremony.

Upon arrival, guests signed Carolina and Kyle’s skateboard guest book and found their seats. Pink and peach flowers marked the head and back of the aisle. Once everyone was in attendance, the wedding party made their entrances ending with Carolina. The bride and groom recited their vows, exchanged rings, and sealed the ceremony with a kiss.

Filet and Wild Mushroom Wellingtons, Glazed Pear and Goat Cheese Tarts, and Thai Chicken Spring Rolls made their rounds in the pool courtyard while the bar served up the newlywed’s signature drinks, a Whiskey Sour and Classic Margarita. Everyone mixed and mingled while Carolina and Kyle posed for newlywed romantics as the sun set. The couple joined their guests for the end of cocktail hour, then everyone headed to the palm tree garden for reception.

Tables topped with fresh flowers and fruits surrounded a colorful checkered dance floor. The bride and groom made their grand entrance, shared their first dance, then took a seat at their sweetheart table. Santorini Chicken, Vegetarian Rotolo Bolzano, Rice Pilaf, Grilled Marinated Vegetables, 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, Brittany. Glasses clinked in the air and the newlyweds cut into their wedding cake. After eating a bite of their cake, the bride and groom invited 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 and some Snicker Doodle, Vegan Chocolate Chip, and Peanut Butter Old Fashioned Cookies for dessert. The evening ended out on the dance floor where guests showed off their best moves under a sky full of stars.
