Bethany & Andrew 5.25.08


Bethany and Andrew live in California. Bethany is in PR and Andrew is studying to be a wine maker. They decided to hold their wedding here in Austin, where they had met several years prior. The wedding and reception took place in the original area in which they had their very first date (awww!) on South Congress. They originally met at the Continental Club and had many dates in the restaurant next door. In the years since, it has become Boticelli's, an Italian gem with great atmosphere and a perfect fit for the intimate celebration of 75 guests.


The ceremony took place in the restaurant's outdoor patio area with the stage set as the focal point. Guests gathered around the bride in groom in a circle as they exchanged their vows. Love was in the air!



The reception was opened up with a Prosecco toast and touching words from many loved ones.

Food and wine were delicious, and with the entertainment for the evening (friends of the bride and groom and a local Austin band--Woodsboss) guests danced the night away.


To conclude the events of the evening, Andrew
serenaded his bride with a few songs!


This wedding was great to work on with Bethany and Andrew. From an overall design perspective, it was very important to the couple to incorporate the elements of nature into their special day. They chose several items within the celebratory event that represented fire, earth, wind and water. Care was taken into selecting colors and decor that fit the elemental component they each would signify.

Congratulations Bethany and Andrew! A special thanks to Whitney Lee Photography for the photos.
