Ana & David ~ Silver & Purple Modern Soiree!

Just as the last few posts this one is also way overdue. Unfortunately, we had not received pictures from the photographer until just about 1 month ago but very thankful and excited to have received.  All weddings we do are special but this one has a very special place in our hearts because it is of one of our planners family.

Anna and David are so made for each other!  Anna totally get’s David’s sense of humor and playful style. David brings out the best in Anna as well, making her laugh and always putting a smile on her face. They both come from big families so their wedding had to be big and fun. They really put their personalities into every detail and turned out to be such a fun and wonderful wedding.

Their décor consisted of an array of purple hues, from deep to lavender and everything in between. The bridesmaids looked so gorgeous and modern in their organza gowns of different shades.  The reception was slick and modern with silver linens, chivari chairs and charger plates. The lavender napkins offered a muted touch with the centerpieces of different purple and ruby shades taking center stage.  Purple up lighting offered the finishing touch for their gorgeous wedding.

We have quite a few favorite moments to share from their wedding.  One of them has to be her brothers and father walking her to the alter. She has older brothers whom love her very much and have such a strong presence in her life, so they decided each would take a turn and walk her some ways down the aisle with her father taking the last prideful steps to her new husband. Our second was her fiancé serenading her at church during their ceremony. It was just him, his guitar and his love for his new bride. Brought tears to our eyes!! Our third favorite had to be the groom and groomsmen dance. They choreographed a awesome dance to Thriller from Michael Jackson (of which the groom is a big fan!)  Just an amazing wedding filled with so much love and happiness.

Leslie & Michael ~ Elegant Wedding!


We love to post as much as we can on our blog, not only for new brides & grooms to see our work but also to share the amazing moments we get to be a part of.  Today in the mail we received pictures for Leslie and Michael's wedding from their photographer, which just so happens to be their 1 year anniversary!

We are excited to share this wedding with you not just because of how beautiful everything turned out but because they are such a wonderful and loving couple.  Their wedding ceremony was held at St. Peter and Paul and their reception at the Shane Center in Miami Beach.  Thinking back about the planning, the thing that most stands out is how picky she was about the damask pattern. She drove everyone crazy and we must have looked at dozens of them, until she found the perfect one.  When she found the perfect one, we all breathed a sigh of relief. LOL  Her décor was elegant and classy.  She opted for most of the tables to have black linens and just a few with the damask pattern. All guest tables were adorned with the timeless beauty of red roses in three different shades.  Black Chivari chairs and red up lighting offered the final touch for this bold and fun wedding.

Our favorite part of the night was the hora loca. The drummers, dancers and stilt walkers were awesome!  There was not one person in their seats as everyone was on the dance floor having an awesome time.

Leslie & Michael: Today is your 1 year anniversary and am so happy that we are able to reflect on your wedding on this special occasion! Thank you for giving us the amazing pleasure of helping you plan this amazing day but most importantly getting to know you both and how very special you are. Wishing you many more years of love, happiness and health. God Bless you!!  Love you guys!!

From the Bride: “They are bride-to-be’s sanity during what is probably the craziest and most stressful time of your life. From the beginning to even after the wedding, they have been the most professional, resourceful, knowledgeable and easy going people I have every worked with. They took care of pretty much every detail of my wedding and truly brough to life the image I had for my wedding day. I cannot stress enough their level of professionalism and ability to answer every question you have. I never felt in the year that we worked together that I asked a question that they didn’t have the answer for. There were no I don’t know or maybe’s. They always had the answer. They are awesome and I had a great time working with them. My Husband was happy and excited to see them at another wedding that they coordinated a few weeks after our own…. That’s how awesome they are! “
