Italian welcome dinner, rosewood Sandhill

Photography JOSE VILLA

The bride and groom adore the culture and food of Italy, specially the quaint culinary town of Modena. Using Modena as our inspiration, we set to work creating an Italian inspired welcome party to kick off their July wedding weekend. And like many Italian summer celebrations, we had to greet guests with the quintessential cocktail, the Aperol Spritz.

With drink in hand, guests meandered up to the market cart escort display, adorned with abundant citrus. At their seats, a little bundle of handmade grissini breadsticks with tag that read Festeggiare (celebrate!) were the talk of the evening. A delicious Italian meal and speeches completed the evening.
