“My wedding day began promptly at 8:30 am! I stayed at the home of one of my bridesmaids and our limousine picked us up at 8:30 am. From there we proceeded to Panera Bread where we picked up bagels, and then headed to Harris Teeter for sandwiches. Once we arrived at Bella Collina,
I was treated like a queen.
One of the most unique elements of the day was that I had a yellow rose ceremony to remember my mother. She passed away when I was 13 and I had each of my Junior bridesmaids carry a single yellow rose and place them in a vase. Yellow roses were my mother’s favorite.” — Samantha
