Brian and Ana's wedding!

Yes, I know I have been slacking with my posts! It's just more time consuming than you imagine. It literally takes, at least 2 hours to write something and upload the pictures! I just know that past brides love looking at their photos and also new brides love to see new inspiration. I update as many as I can and especially if I get the request but just can't post them all....... I also wish I had the time to post great finds or inspirations like other boards, such as: (http://www.stylemepretty.com/ or http://kenziekate.blogspot.com/ ) IF ONLY I COULD ADD MORE HOURS TO MY DAY! For now I will go back to my post :0)

Well this is a perfect example of why posts are so great! Olga and I had the pleasure of working this wedding together and we both agree this was such a great wedding! The decor was amazing and the color scheme that Ana chose (after much deliberation ;0) looked AWESOME! Ana and Brian were married at St. Patricks and their reception was held at Miami Beach Botanical Garden. I have to say they love to party and so do their friends. They danced the whole night away. Only because we pulled them to take pics, did they do so...but I am sure, they are now glad they did as the memories captured will last forever.

The dinner was held in the great lawn and the inside was set up as a lounge, complete with draping, lighting and lounge furniture. It really looked amazing! The hit of the night had to be the Luge but now that I think about it so was the candy bar and Misha's cupcakes. Everything was a hit!!

My favorite part though, was the funny dance they did with their parents. Right after Ana finished dancing with Brian they did a skit where it seemed the music was cut and something that wasn't supposed to play did. A second later they were all doing a dancing to Lukes song Captain D coming. It was great!!

The gorgeous pictures were taken by http://www.simplycaptivating.com/. Thanks Melissa & Javier for always sharing memories for me to post.

Ana and Brian: Olga and I wish you all the Happiness in the World! May God continue to bless your love Forever!!!

Davie and Lauren

Long over due post of a great wedding! Davie and Lauren are now living in NY as they graduated a few months ago from Law School... CONGRATULATIONS! Before that, they were living in Georgia and going to school while simultaneously working with me on their wedding here in Miami. Lauren is originally from Miami and fell in love with Deering Estate to hold their ceremony/reception.

Lauren and Davie were great to work with! They were always open to ideas and suggestions which made us click from day one. Their ceremony was performed by their long time friend Susy. They also had her uncle and his grandfather come and say a few words which made for a very heartfelt ceremony. That was my favorite part of the wedding as it was not only sentimental and funny but very personal also.

Here are a few of my favorite pictures taken by Johanthan Dann http://www.jdannphotography.com/ which did a wonderful job!

Davie and Lauren, sorry for my delay in posting. Your wedding is very memorable just as both of you. I wish you both a wonderful life and marriage together!

I recieved a very nice thank you card from Lauren's parents. It was so thoughtful of them!

"Dear Melissa,
Thank you for making Lauren's dream wedding a reality.
