Casey & Nakia's NYE Masquerade Bash
When I first spoke to Casey one of the things she told me was the most important thing for her was for her wedding to be a great party! Having your wedding on NYE kinda puts you in a spot where it better be awesome or else you're gonna have some pretty disappointed guests. Casey & Nakia's wedding totally met any expectations their guests might have had!
The ceremony took place on the even of December 31st in the Courtyard at the Hyatt Coral Gables. After the lovely ceremony performed by a really good friends of Casey's family, guests enjoyed the cocktail hour in the same courtyard.
Following the cocktail hour was the Masquerade themed party! The reception was held in the Hall of Ambassadors. The tables were dressed in Gun Metal Gray Dupioni linens, square black acrylic chargers and the same gray dupioni napkins. The Chairs had a black satin chair cover and gray dupioni sash. The centerpieces consisted of black baccara roses, orange roses, blue & purple lilies and long black ostrich feathers and sat atop a silver candelabra type stand adorned with hanging crystals. Each place setting contained a custom made menu and a mask for each guest.
The room was up lit in purple LED lights and up by the DJ and big screen specifically for the count down was an all white lounge area.
Guests had a really great time....and that was the point!
Right around midnight Las Vegas style dancers came in to get the crowd moving before the big ball drop.
All in all it was a successful evening :) Alexis and I haven't done anything for NYE in a few years so it was nice to get out! Lol.
Below are some picture from the evening's photographer Elizabeth Monge of Studio Elizabeth and a bunch of pictures we took of all the other details! Enjoy!

Meg & Joachim 12.27.09
I remember my first year in planning all of my brides pretty much came from one place. Now that I've been in the game a little longer I've been lucky enough to have bride find me a bunch of other ways.
My next couple came referred to me by word-of-mouth and are by far my farthest of far away couples yet! I really don't think anyone else will beat them.
Meg & Joachim reside in India :) Yup, the country on the other side of the world! Joachim is German and Meg is Haitian and her mother lives in Miami. The couple had a wedding in Germany for Joachim's family last August and then decided to have one in Miami to accommodate friends & family in the States.
This was going to be a small affair for about 30 guests. Meg & Joachim needed me to take care of all the arrangements because I would only get to meet with them once. All other communication took place via email and 2-3 phone conversations. Her trip over was very successful. We managed to nail down a venue, florist, DJ and officiant.
Meg & Joachim wanted an event that was very representative of them. The couple has literally travelled all over the world today. They met in one country, had their first date in another, got engaged in a third....you catch my drift. So at her request we did a wedding of understated elegance with an underlying travel theme.
The ceremony took place out on the lawn of The Palms Hotel and was all red & white.
Passports created to replicated American & German passports served as programs.
After the ceremony guests moved in to cocktail hour. The sign n table was decorated with small suitcases and some of the many old travel poster signs we had scattered about. Each sign was of a place the bride and groom visited together.
We did one long royal table set for 24 (the final count) with ivory fortuny linens and gold chivari chairs. Meg loves red roses so florist Gil Sosa incorporated them in to the florals along with white hydrangea and greenery. the florals that decorated the ceremony served double duty and were used at the Royal table decor. The menus were postcards that had personal travel photos of the bride & groom on one side and the menu on the other. The place cards were printed with passport stamps and the remainder of our travel poster signs were place along the length of the table.
One thing that we definitely were not short on at this wedding was cake! In honor of the different heritages, a German cake (Black Forest) and a Haitian Cake (Rum Cake) we put out for guests to enjoy along with the traditional wedding cake & cupcakes.
Several toasts were made through out the evening or guests telling stories of the bride and groom. It was a very intimate night of dinner, dancing and story telling. Exactly what they wanted.

Priscilla & Ben's Deering Estate affair....
Priscilla & Ben were another out-of-town couple from California. Originally they hired us just for the Day-Of but as the event got closer added our design package so that we could take care of all the aesthetics of the event.
The ceremony & reception both took place at the beautiful Deering Estate in Palmetto Bay. The color they chose were chocolate brown and shade of pink and rose.
Because I, ofcourse, was running around like a chicken without a head I have no pictures to share of the ceremony but to give you an idea...we decided to go all white with some hints of the rose and gold in the petal cones and programs.
After the ceremony & cocktail hour guests were taken in to the court yard for dinner. All the tables were dressed in chocolate dupioni linens, gold chiavari chairs with gold cushions and napkins that that a menu tucked in. The tables were all square and had beautiful arrangements of flowers in different shades of pink with hanging crystals.
The bride and groom and their bridal party sat at a royal table that was placed parallel to the Stone House which provided a beautiful backdrop. The favors were little box with truffle inside, wrapped in a gold damask paper and tied with a rose colored ribbon.
After dinner guests were encouraged back in to the house where lounge furniture and a cocktail hour style area was set up. Hazel R. Photogrpaher played an AMAZING slideshow of the days pictures and then the dancing began.
All in all it was a beautiful evening!
