B E L L A F L O R A: Bella Bride: Samantha Pulido and Mitty Jayaseelan

With holiday events in full swing, everyone is in over their heads in red, green and gold! We thought we would switch it up this week and reminisce over Samantha Pulido and Mitty Jayaseelan's enchanted wedding wonderland. The duo tied the knot April 10, 2010 at the Holy Trinity Catholic Church and continued the celebration at the Rosewood Crescent Hotel. Everything from the bridal bouquet to the cocktail hour was top notch on this magical evening. Thisbe Grace Photography did a fantastic job of capturing the tiny details throughout the day. Check out the rest of the team who assisted with Samantha and Mitty's special day. Enjoy!

Holy Trinity Catholic Church was transformed with dramatic lighting, gorgeous candlelight and lush floral detailing for the dramatic and memorable ceremony. Tall grand candle torches were embellished with beautiful floral in soft ivories, whites, champagnes and pale blushes and created a grand and romantic setting as Samantha preluded down the aisle. A blossoming display of cascading floral framed the duo at the altar, creating a most attractive backdrop.

Samantha's fluttery bouquet accented her gorgeous lace dress perfectly. The hand tied bouquet was designed with a lush blending of soft pink garden roses and soft pink Holland peonies with accents of lacey foliage.

The youngest flower girl was given a petite moss pomander ball with touches of floral. This fit in beautifully with Samantha's vision of "Mid Summer's Night Dream."

For the cocktail hour, the Rosewood Crescent transformed into an enchanted forest, complete with a masse of suspended glowing candlelight. The overall setting of the candles created a romantic glow throughout the room.

The walls in the Garden Room were adorned with beautiful natural growing branches accented with stunning oversized blossoms that creeped up high into the walls. The wall of branches created an amazing setting that cast a beautiful silhouette of branches and exquisite shadows of blooms.

A wishing tree table was constructed as the main focal piece to the Garden Room. The glorious, tall crystal tree was embellished with interesting free-flowing botanical floral and accented with fluffy hydrangea, garden roses, peonies, French tulips. blossoming cherry blossoms and orchids at the base.

A Mariachi band played during the cocktail hour, providing lively background music.

A unique escort card wall was embellished from natural boxwood garlands that created a pretty lattice design that framed the entrance to the ballroom. Pretty floral and guest cards were displayed.

Guests were in awe as they walked into the dining room and were greeted by a warm welcome of natural foliages, candlelight and elegant and sophisticated floral. A gorgeous display of white textiles was suspended from the ceiling to create a soft beautiful canopy disguising the ceiling above.

One grand central head table was complimented by two side rectangle tables placed near the dance floor. A clean procession of tall glass vessels housed tall gorgeous blossoms of cherry that gave great height to the room and added a great volume of color. Multiple collections of vessels were placed down the center of the table, resembling a beautiful textural runner of seasonal blossoms.

Square tables were also used to contribute to the unique setting. A tall abundant free-form arrangement designed with an iron grand seven-branch candelabra adorned these tables.

A collection of suspended speciality chandeliers designed with natural foliage created a captivating and dreamy look. The wonderfully organic display provided the most romantic and exceptional sparkling glow overhead for guests.

The first dance as Mr. and Mrs. Jayaseelan

Mexican folkloric dancers and Indian dancers took the dance floor to give homage to the bride and groom's heritage.

The bride's cake was adorned with a cascade of stunning fluttery blooms of pink peonies placed down the front side of the cake and spilling down onto the table.
