Dianna & Ricardo ~ Navy & Fuchsia Spanish Monastery Wedding!

We had the amazing pleasure of being contacted by Dianna Darsney to coordinate her and Ricardo’s wedding. Since the day I met with this couple there was a special connection. Ricardo was sweet with a huge smile to light up any room. Dianna was vibrant, full of life and I felt like I had known her my whole life. In speaking with them, they wanted a small wedding but with lots of little details to make it all so very special. This couple was definitely different, she is American but fluent in Spanish and he is Peruvian. You would not have imagined what a great combo these two made. At the time Ricardo was living in Peru and Diana was traveling from Peru to different parts of the world as her job had required her to do. They decided on Miami b/c it was close to everyone to attend, from family and friends. It was the perfect medium, just as they were. We were hired to do DOC for them, and kept well in touch over email with Dianna. I loved writing to her b/c she would always tell me all the details she was working on, but I always felt like she was talking to me. Her emails made me smile and feel like we were in the same room. Diana just had that amazing touch, no wonder Ricardo feel so in love with her.

The day of their wedding, was breathe taking in so many ways. Dianna looked absolutely STUNNING! Ricardo, extremely handsome and we have the pictures to prove it!! Both the ceremony and reception were held at the beautiful Spanish Monastery. This is an amazing location that exudes such vintage and elegance. The ceremony area was in the garden and was so quaint.

The reception area looked amazing with all the guest tables in crinkled pin tuck navy satin linens and gold chivari chairs to contrast the deep rich color. The floral’s in high and low vases, looked exquisite in the open ballroom. They were comprised of different fuchsia colors of roses, peony’s, and orchids.

Our favorite part of the night had to be when Ricardo serenaded his beautiful wife. I have to admit, I always get nervous when a man serenades his wife in front of all the guests and hoping his voice comes out amazing, but Ricardo can sing. I want to say he sound a lot like Marc Anthony. We even melted as he sang a love song to his wife. lol!

Dianna & Ricardo: Thank you for giving us the opportunity to make your day special! It was our pleasure and good luck in Africa!!!

From Mr & Mrs Salcedo: Millions of good things to say about you. :) You are fabulous. My friends loved you and think you are the organizer extraordinaire. Everyone kept saying, "wow that planner is just so nice ... they aren't always so NICE" .. Ha! Millions of thanks!

Talia & Kevin's ~ Winter Garden Glam Wedding!

Meeting Talia was so wonderful! Right off the bat we totally hit it off. She was so cute walking in the door with her light brown skin and beautiful hazel eyes. Talia was so ready to get married to Kevin, but everything needed to be just right. I just loved working with her! She was organized, knew exactly what she wanted and had an amazing vision of what her wedding would look like. She decided to book wedding in a box package with us. She wanted white, glitter and the “WOW” effect. We did just that!! Welcome to Talia & Kevin’s Winter Garden Glam wedding.

Talia traveled a lot for work, I want to say on a weekly basis she was out of Miami, while Kevin is a firefighter. Through email and many conversations and very planned meetings we were able to make their dreams come true! Talia and Kevin’s wedding day came and it couldn't have been more perfect! Her ceremony & reception were both at Douglas Entrance. She looked stunning, I want to say like a doll, in her beautiful dress, amazing curves and sparkling hazel eyes and Kevin looked quite handsome himself! The ceremony was short and sweet, the newly married Mr & Mrs Attai were ready to get the party started right from the cocktail hour. I’ve been to many wedding's, but this one was definitely one of the one’s that not only were the guest ready to party, but so were the happily married couple. They danced all night long, Talia even did a sorority dance that got the crowd jumping. As the night came to an end Cold Stone Creamery was there to send everyone off with a little sweet surprise. Needless to say, Talia and Kevin were ecstatic and very thankful, nothing can make a wedding planner, more filled with joy than those words. Her room looked beautiful with white crushed linens, chairs, cushions and crystals. The amber up lighting added the final touches to a modern, glamorous affair! The floral’ s both high and low consisted of hydrangeas, orchids, roses, calla lilies and curly willow with added crystal touches.

My favorite part was taking Talia & Kevin in the reception room and seeing their faces in complete shock of how glamorous everything looked. I must admit the “WOW” factor was all over the place.

Talia & Kevin: Thank you so much for letting EOAB be part of such a beautiful day! We truly enjoyed every minute of planning it and making it all come together! Much love and happiness to you both!!

From Mr & Mrs Attai: "The day of my wedding everything worked out flawlessly with EOAB. They did not miss a beat and had every detail lined up as we discussed. I could not be more happy with my wedding and Events on a Budget. I highly recommend them to any bride with small or large budget to throw a flawless event."
