Danielle & Frank's Vintage Wedding


This young and gorgeous couple had a very unique yet timeless style. It was captured so well in the theme of their wedding. They picked Miami Beach Botanical Gardens as the venue,  to have their intimate ceremony and wedding reception. The colors were black and white with splashes of vibrant pinks! It was the perfect combination of vintage and modern flair.

It all started with a cozy outdoor ceremony under the stars and a perfect Miami winter breeze. These two had waited long quite some time to become husband and wife, so to say they were ready and excited for their big day is an understatement.  The lovely couple exchanged vows in front of their closest friends and family. Just as the bride and groom, the anticipation for this day was so great that there wasn't a dry eye in sight.

The Banyan room, where the reception took place was decorated to perfection and represented the couple perfectly. Amber up lights offered the perfect romantic glow!  The simple white linens offered a clean palette to show case the vibrant floral centerpieces. The sweet heart and cake table were dressed in black and white damask linens, which matched the design of their invitations, table numbers and  escort cards.

Just like your timeless style, we wish you both a timeless love with an abundance of happiness!  Thank you so much for letting us take part of your special night and trusting our team with your amazing day!

From the bride: I was too overwhelmed with the details of planning a wedding to do it on my own. Working with Events on a Budget was the best decision I made. I chose the wedding in a box package and it was so easy! We had access to experienced, professional vendors that made our wedding come together flawlessly. Everything was beautiful and it was so great, knowing nothing about weddings, to have a pro to get answers from. Them attending the vendor meetings with us able to offer us advise on what was going to look nice, or what not to splurge on. We are both so happy with the service we received and for such an amazing price. My husband keeps telling everyone that our wedding was the best day of his life, making me a very happy wife :)

Chris & Laura's Garden Wedding

This blog is coming out just in time to remind this beautiful couple that it’s already been a year since their gorgeous fall wedding. Chris and Laura picked Miami Beach Botanical Gardens as their location to exchange I do’s and to celebrate with friends their union. The venue had just undergone a major renovation, which made the location even more beautiful than it was before.  The gardens were a great back drop to their outdoor ceremony and a great place for some very memorable portraits.  One epic shot was on the red bridge in the middle of the Zen garden.

The décor and theme for Laura and Chris’ wedding was mainly garden inspired with shades of lavender, French blue, plum and touches of cream in the floral arrangements. The room was dress with eggplant plum linens and black chivari chairs . The overall look was simple and elegant, just like our bride and groom!


A few fun things that made the night even more special was the always exciting photo booth which guests had a lot of fun with and the always delicious chocolate fountain provided by Donut Divas. The sweets didn't end there, in addition to the gorgeous butterflied themed wedding cake they also made sure all of the guests enjoyed a delicious cupcake provided by one of our favorite places:  Misha’s Cupcakes.

 This sweet couple really made it a point to make sure their guests were happy and satisfied the whole night.
We want to wish Laura and Chris many more years of happiness and love and that may everyday feel like a walk in a beautiful garden, just like their special wedding day was.

From the Bride: "This is the best company to hire for wedding services. I met them for initial consultation to go over what vision we had for our wedding and they were the sweetest ladies. We booked them without even meeting with any other planners. Any question (which were like 100) they answered right away for me. Any changes I decided to make during the process were done without question and quickly.  They were so patient and made sure of everything I wanted. Their prices and packages are top quality and everything is amazing. They organized all my vendors a few days before the wedding so I didn't even have to worry about that. The day of the wedding went smoothly. I could not be happier and wish them all th best and definitely recommend them to all future brides. "

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.
