Liz & Arturo ~ Coral Gables Wedding!

Chic winter wedding with the classic pairing of, Tiffany blue and chocolate brown. This has to be one of my favorite color combinations, especially in such a romantic setting like the Coral Gables Jr. Woman’s Club. I would have to say, that just as perfect as their color pairing , is as perfect of a pair that Liz and Arturo are for one another. Since I met these too, they were always smiling and laughing together. A sure sign of many more laughs and good times to come! They were both very motivated on getting all details squared away and planning all the details for their wedding which was just a few months away. I met the happy couple in September and they would be saying “I do” in early December. During their exchanging of vows you could really feel the joy in the room not only from the couple but from all their guests, as well.

The cocktail hour and reception also took place in the Coral Gables Jr. Woman’s Club . The bride and groom took a few private moments during the cocktail hour to get some one on one time as the new Mr. & Mrs.’s. They managed to get back on time to share a couple drinks with their guests, which really put a head start on all the fun that was to come for the rest of the night.

The room was decorated absolutely beautiful with chocolate linens, Tiffany blue accents, and mahogany Chiavary chairs. Center pieces were elegant arrangements of hydrangeas and ivory roses surrounded by votives that gave the room a romantic glow. They also included a mini lounge area with Tiffany blue pillow's to make sure their guests were relaxing when they weren't on the dance floor. Dinner was delicious and guests really enjoyed all the wonderful fare but their guests were all about hitting the dance floor and staying there all night.

We’re so happy to have been part of such fun times and such great memories. We hope you continue giving so much happiness to those around you and continue laughing and smiling together for years to come!

Cindy & Mike ~ Sunset Key Wedding.

"Beach wedding with a few of my closest friends and family" is exactly what Cindy dreamed of and envisioned for her wedding day!

Cindy and Mike were an absolute joy and ease to work with. Typically a bride is very particular about what they want for their big and special day but not Cindy. She came to us and said as long as my fiancée and I, can be married with sand between our toes and some sunlight in our face, we’ll be happy. Lucky for her, we gave her that and much much more!

Cindy and Mike had their dream wedding at the beautiful and exclusive Sunset Key in Key West. The ceremony took place on the sand overlooking the ocean and a Spanish guitarist playing beautiful music during their walk down the aisle. They had their closest friends and family there to witness them become husband and wife. After the ceremony, them and their guests were invited to a very exclusive brunch, where the food, laughter and Vueve Clicquot champagne flowed abundantly!

Thank you Mike and Cindy for letting me take part in your day. You two were a breeze to make happy and a riot to work with! Both of you looked so happy on your wedding day and hope you continue to enjoy many more beautiful times together!

"Sofia was our personal wedding planner and wow was she amazing. She kept me calm, collected and dealt with issues at the venue all with a calm head and a charming disposition. My husband was so impressed (because he had no idea about any details...he's a man after all :) that with Sofia's assistance, we put on a classy, sophisticated and elegant wedding! Thanks Sofia, you're amazing! "

Angela & Lorenzo ~ Doral Park Wedding

A November wedding to remember in pink, orange and brown. From the day we met Angela, we knew she was going to be an awesome bride. She was pretty quiet form the beginning. The last 4 wks before her wedding we became like bff’s, lol. We had daily communication and we must have seen each other at least once a wk, as she kept dropping off items as she received them. She was so great to have as one of our brides, quick to make decisions and always knew what she wanted. Lorenzo, her fiancée at the time and now her husband. When we met him, he was sweet, quiet and her high school sweetheart. These two sweethearts were ready to run down the aisle and party it up, they had been together so long that everyone was just counting down the days until they became husband and wife. Their vows where exchanged at Doral Park and Country Club, where you could see that they were truly surrounded by loved one’s.

Their reception took place in the same location in Doral Park and Country Club. Their style was elegance, birds and flowers with a color scheme of pink & orange. It was November and the weather was fabulous, the feeling of spring was in the air. They had lavish centerpieces filled with the beautiful roses. Their tables were adorned with orange pin tuck linen’s, chocolate chivari chairs with brown cushions. The center pieces were truly garden like and with the pink up lights, it really pulled the room together.

The sign in table was one of our favorites, it was images of their engagement shoot scattered around with a beautiful center piece to adorn the table. Another golden touch was the candy buffet, filled with an amazing assortment of candy and the splashes of colors made it sparkle. We almost would say it was too beautiful to touch. It was a fun filled night and Angela and Lorenzo could not have been happier. Manolo from In Focus captured every detail and took a ton of pictures which turned out amazing!

Angela & Lorenzo, it was our immense pleasure to help with the details of your wedding and witness such an important moment in your lives! Wishing that God continues to bless your marriage forever!

"This service was such an important part of my wedding and it was so wonderful, I knew I had nothing to worry about on the day of the wedding because they were there. Weeks before the wedding, they were already helping me and reassuring me, called all the vendors to confirm time and update them on any changes. At the wedding, so attentive and just on top of everything. Even went to publix to get zip lock bags for the guests when they found that the bags for my candy buffet had holes in them. I highly recommend this company."
