Aamir + Larissa’s Ceremony

 

We at Exquisite Events were gearing up for the grand finale which was ceremony and reception. Our ceremony set up in Pacific Lawn was understated elegance. Once hotel set the chairs, our floral team went to work on the aisle treatment and flowers flanking the gazebo and entrance to the aisle.  

The day was absolutely gorgeous with gentle breeze blowing and clear view of ocean.  

Couple’s first look took place on top of the grand staircase and was quite an emotional moment. Aamir looked absolutely dashing in his Armani Tux while Larissa was a vision in her beautiful ethereal gown.  This was an intimate ceremony with couple’s close friends and both families in attendance with rest of guests invited for the cocktail hour.

Both families arrived early for photos and guests were then escorted to the lawn where butler passed pre ceremony beverages were served and violinists played beautiful music.  After the guests were seated, bridal party walked and took stood on either side of the gazebo.

Aamir walked down the aisle with his four year old nephew to his favorite song  “hala madrid y nada mas” and joined the officiant at the altar.  Larissa descended the staircase looking like a Princess and was met by her father at the bottom of the staircase.  

Two adorable flower girls walked ahead of the bride with the bride walking down the aisle on her father’s arms to her favorite song “Pachebel Canon" played live by the violinists.

The ceremony was short, meaningful and beautiful and at the conclusion, couple walked hand in hand to “Uefa Champions League Anthem” as Aamir is a huge soccer fan. 

Guests were all cheering for the couple at the end of ceremony, throwing petals, giving hugs and kisses.  

Couple made their way to their suite to get into Pakistani outfits while the rest of guests stayed on to enjoy a beautiful cocktail hour.
