Anika & George

Winter White & Lots of Crystals!! That is what Anika said she envisioned for her wedding....what did we do, give her just that! Myself and Olga had the pleasure of working this wedding together. The ceremony was at St. Frances de Sales in Miami Beach & the reception at the Sky lobby in the Bank of America Tower.

What shall I say about decor?? She had it all! Draping, lighting, lounge areas, cigars, candy buffet, shot luge and even a samba show! The amazing show was by http://www.urbantribalproject.com/!! The wedding was tons of fun and EVERYONE had a blast. You will see in the pictures, even the older folks could not resist the Samba show!!

My favorite part of the night had to be the Samba show. It was Awesome & if you didn't move to that beat, then nothing will make you move.
Melissa from http://www.simplycaptivating.com/ took these AMAZING pictures & really captured how Gorgeous everything looked!

Anika & George congratulations on your marriage and we wish you many more amazing memories together.

We received the nicest thank you from Anika & her mom. To hear such nice things really makes my job that much more special!
"Hi Melissa,
Just wanted to thank you once again for making my daughter's wedding the most memorable event since the day she was born.
Not only did everything we ask you for get delivered & was flawless but if was even greater and so professionally done. More than we could have possibly dreamed of.
I remember the week of her wedding calling because I was so nervous about everything and you calmed me down and told me not to worry, that everything would be taken care of and I was to relax and enjoy her wedding. Well thanks to you and your wonderful staff that is exactly what we did. We spent the whole day together getting ready, relaxed knowing we were in excellent hands.
I wish you continued success.
Lots of Love and Kisses,
Virginia and Anika"

Laura's Birthday

On Sunday my girlfriends & I got together to celebrate our dear friend Laura's Birthday. She wanted a quiet breakfast just with the girls. (no boyfriend, husbands or significant others..:0) JUST THE GIRLS for some catching up! She chose Green Street at the Grove because of their great breakfast & atmosphere. As I arrive, I see news station cameras & just a ton of people. Come to find out Rudy Guliani was on his way there.

Just when we had sat down for breakfast he made his arrival. He walked to a few tables & also made his way to ours. (I guess the 7 HOT girls at the table caught his attention). I took a quick picture while he was shaking our hands. All I can say is so much for an uneventful & quiet breakfast with the girls. Either way, we still had a great breakfast together. It is always so nice to get together & take a break from our crazy & busy lives.

Laura HAPPY HAPPY BIRTHDAY SWEETIE! WISHING YOU MANY BLESSINGS FOR THIS NEW YEAR! LOVE YA!

To my girls: I love you all very much also!

Stephanie & George Wedding

Well I thought after Colleen’s wedding that I had seen the Queens of DIY!!! They sure have competition with Stephanie & her mom Susy!! These ladies sure are giving them a run for their money with DIY chargers, centerpieces, invites, favors, hair pieces….. you name it! Susy has even started her own website to feature all these great stuff! http://www.miamiweddinghelper.com/

The wedding ceremony & reception were at the beautiful Rusty Pelican. It rained on & off all morning leading up to the ceremony. We had cleaned the chairs 3 times before the actual ceremony started, talk about stressful! Fortunately, minutes before the ceremony the rain stopped, the sky cleared & made for a beautiful backdrop. The décor was the popular & modern look of Tiffany Blue with Chocolate. They really brought the theme together with the amazing DIY chargers that Rob (Stephanie’s dad) worked so hard making for his baby girl! So nice to see a family come together to add those special touches. My favorite part of the wedding was just seeing how happy their friends and families were to share in their special day!

Stephanie & George: we wish you a marriage full of love & happiness!

Thank you Michael & Claudia at http://www.evolvingservices.com/ for sharing the beautiful pictures!

"Dear Melissa,

Thanks Again,
Stephanie & George"
