Monica & Josh ~ Colonnade Wedding!

We really love to blog weddings and yet sometimes we take much longer than we would like. This is a wedding that is long overdue by what a fun and amazing wedding it was!

Monica & Josh are such sweet and easy going couple.  I loved that Josh was so involved and was actually the first one to make contact with us.  From the minute we talked he spoke to highly of his fiance and could tell that his love was sincere.

Their wedding took place at the timeless Westin Colonnade Coral Gables! Both their ceremony and reception took place there and what a beautiful and special day it was. They chose a classic all white color palette, with modern touches of silver and pops of purple. The purple up lighting really pulled together to help achieve the perfect romantic, yet subdued modern look they were going for.

My favorite part of the night had to be the Horah! We enjoyed so much seeing them have a blast and sharing this very special moment with family and friends.

Thank you Monica & Josh for letting us be part of this one in a lifetime day! We still remember you both fondly and wish you many more years of happiness together! xoxo

Cristina & Andy’s Beachy Beatles Wedding

“They” say its good luck for it to rain on your wedding day; it’s a sign of abundance and a long happy marriage. For this super cute and sweet couple we do believe what “they” say because without a doubt these two are destined to have an abundance of love and a very happy marriage.  This couple came to us from Orlando looking for help on their destination wedding.  We love working with couples who have a set vision in mind, makes putting all the pieces of their dream wedding together a lot easier. This was the case with our well organized bride and very supportive hubby to be.

Both Cristina and Andy are huge fans of the Beatles so it was a must for them to incorporate them into their wedding theme, which  we did! They blended their love for the Beatles, the beach and their beloved doggy, Oliver. They had Oliver as the ring bearer and selected a few Beatles songs as part of their ceremony.  For their ceremony they used beach décor to complement the water view but also to symbolize something that was very special to the bride and her family. The aisle was covered in a long bamboo runner and adorned with cream lanterns and white star fish, it was the perfect beach touch to the outdoor ceremony. The décor for the reception was a perfect mix of natural elements and the right amount of bling to mix things up. There were fresh willow branches adorned with teal orchids and hanging crystals which sat nicely on bamboo chargers and  matched so well with their gold chivari chairs. The teal favor boxes gave the tables a nice splash of color and complimented the up-lights perfectly.

After all the months spent planning, this couple really enjoyed themselves and really enjoyed the company of their family. The dancing and the smiling never stopped for this bride and groom, they never left the dance floor and it made for a real fun party. When so much goes into one day, you really have to make the best of it, like the Mr. & Mrs. did!!

It’s always a pleasure to work with our awesome brides and grooms, you two are no exception. Wishing you both all the very best and may your home always be filled with lots of love, hugs, laughs and kisses.

Candace & Ronald’s Beachside Wedding

This lovely and vibrant couple decided to get married beach-side at the Newport Beach Resort on Collins Avenue. They had a destination wedding so all of their guests added a few days to make it a mini vacation. The ceremony was gorgeous with the blue sea and clear skies as the perfect backdrop! The bridesmaids gave the perfect splash of color with their teal and sage dresses. The bride looked stunning in her gown and veil alongside her handsome groom, who wore a nicely fitted gray suit.

The décor for this wedding matched their beautiful and natural surroundings. The colors were deep teal and pops of sage. Centerpieces stood tall in trumpet vases, which were filled with tinted blue water to really make them stand out. Tables were dressed in green dupioni linens and adorned with silver chargers. Each table was named after a popular city in Miami, which was a nice touch to get their guests familiarized with some key places.

These newlyweds had worked so hard on planning their wedding and it was nice to finally see them kick back and enjoying all their hard work. They enjoyed their friends and family but most importantly they were thrilled to finally be husband and wife. They danced and laughed all night and guests couldn't have been happier for the new Mr. & Mrs. Harrison III.

We love helping our destination wedding couples because we know how hard it is to plan anything from out of state. We’re so happy they chose us to be part of this wedding and special day and we hope that every day as husband and wife is as amazing and rewarding as planning this wedding was. May God bless you both and live happily ever after.
