Gillian and Evan ~ Miami Beach Wedding!

We had the amazing pleasure of planning this wedding for Gillian and Evan. They were in great luck when his uncle graciously offered his beautiful home, overlooking the Ocean in Miami Beach. Gillian’s vision was something natural, outdoors, with whites, pinks, touches of green and very romantic. The day turned out beautiful and weather was perfect! (It did start raining for 2 minutes during the reception and immediately after ending, but overall it was wonderful)

The décor was classic and elegant with white crushed linens, napkins and cushions. Mahogany chairs complemented the all white color scheme and our beautiful flowers added touches of pink and green for this beautiful outdoors wedding!

My favorite part of the evening had to be seeing Gillian and Evan leave at the end of the night in their boat. It was a great finale to an amazing day!

Gillian and Evan: Thank you so much for the privilege of helping you on such a memorable day in your lives! It was a pleasure to work with you and wish you a lifetime of happiness and blessings!!

“The wedding was absolutely beautiful. It was my dream wedding. I can't even tell you how many compliments I got. Even my mom was blown away! Working with you was a dream! You went way above and beyond all expectations. I really can't thank you enough though for all of your hard work and for giving me an even better wedding than I could have ever imagined. This was really the best day of my life. Thank You, Gillian “

Iris & Eric ~ Winter Soiree

Iris was hands down one of our most favorite brides to work with. As planners we love when our clients put their trust in us and know that we are putting our heart and soul into their wedding day. Iris was the definitely, that bride. In planning her wedding we had a blast! Every outing was fun and she was such a pleasure to be around!

Iris & Eric are such genuinely nice and humble people. After meeting both their mom’s during our meetings and the rest of their families during the wedding you can really see what a wonderful foundation they were both brought up with. They both excelled in school, their careers and are now both Doctor’s. Even with their accomplishments they have kept the values instilled by their families, stayed true to their traditions and over all remained humble and generous people.

Their wedding was awesome! Such a reflection of their cultures, personalities and the love they had for each other and their families! Every single detail was thoroughly though out… Eric is Mexican and Iris is Puerto Rican so their wedding really embraced their cultures. The food was such an intricate part. We had a Mexican station with slow roasted meats, fresh tortillas (made by Eric’s family who owns a tortilla plant), homemade salsa’s. The Puerto Rican station had yucca, mofongo, rice, pink beans and roasted pork. There was also a salad station with a variety of dressings, toppings and delectable fresh breads. To end the evening we had fresh churros with Mexican hot chocolate, which was perfect for the cold January night. Their décor was a perfect combination of elegance meets modern. The crushed brown linens against the deep red florals and up lighting looked stunning at the always breathtaking Deering Estate. Just Stunning!

We had so many favorite parts of this wedding, we just cant mention one. We loved how the mariachis walked down with Eric, the hot chocolate and churros, their very cute entrance, their choreographed 1st dance and the crazy garter removal! (Eric your in trouble Mr.! LOL :)

Thanks to all the amazing vendors who helped pull this beautiful evening together!

Iris and Eric: Wow! What a blast we had planning your wedding and see it all come together. We feel so honored to have been there to witness such an amazing day in your lives. I know that years to come we will always keep in touch and can’t be more thankful to have met such an amazing couple like the both of you. Love you guys!!! Wish you a life time of accomplishments, success but most of all health, life and love! Xoxoxoxoxo

“Having Melissa at our wedding was like having a guardian angel overlooking the planning process and wedding day! She made the wedding planning process fun!! She is a great listener, professional, sweet, thoughtful, and funny! She always made sure you were on task and on budget, which helps make things a lot less stressful. Her recommendations always turn out great. Our wedding day felt flawless, stress free, and a load of fun. This would not have been possible without having her in the background dealing with everything. She can quickly put out fires and deal with any unexpected issues without you ever even knowing. Exactly how a perfect coordinator should be! Highly recommended!!”
