Kasia & Anthony

WHO: Kasia & Anthony LaLicata

WHAT: Wedding

WHEN: December 12, 2009

WHERE: Our Lady of the Rosary / The Westin Hotel

My very first official, and THE BIGGEST, wedding I did was one of my good friends and coworker, Kasia, and her hubby Anthony.  Kasia is Polish and Anthony is Italian, so you could imagine how big the wedding was with all their family there.  Almost 300+ people!

We started off at Our Lady of the Rosary, located in the heart of Little Italy, San Diego.  This Italian Roman Catholic Church had magnificent paintings on the ceilings and walls depicting the apostles and evangelists. Stained glass windows each depicting one of the 15 Mysteries of the Rosary. Statues and sculptures beautifully crafted and displayed.  A string quartet played as the bridal party walked down the aisle.  It was the perfect traditional wedding we hoped for.


Reception took place at The Westin Hotel in Downtown, San Diego.  Kasia & Anthony had a Marie Antoinette Winter Wonderland theme. Whites, ice blues, and silvers were sprinkled all over the venue.  Angelica Strings played during the cocktail hour. There was a Euro bar serving lattes, espressos, coffee and teas.  Kasia is a BIG coffee drinker, so it didn't surpise me she would have this.  There was a dessert table filled with individual polish & italian pastries provided by various bakeries.  What I was most excited about was the guest performances by Krakusy, a polish folk dance ensemble.  I have never seen anything like it before.  The guests enjoyed them very much as well.  And Traditional polish and italian customs were displayed throughout the night.

Here are a few pictures I took from my point of view:

Escort cards made by me :)  They were scrolls with the meaning of every guests last name.

It was my pleasure to plan and coordinate their wedding.  Being my very first wedding, it was one I will never forget.  :)
