Bekah & Josh's Modern Asian Inspired Fête 1.3.09

My first 2009 wedding was a little short notice...Bekah and Josh hired me 2 weeks before their big day. I will say that from our first meeting I immediately knew that this was going to be a very modern and unique wedding. It also helped that another one of my brides who is a good friend of the bride gave me an idea of what would be in store for me.

Bekah & Josh were going for something a little less traditional that totally embodied "them". The end result was an amazing looking reception, in a one of a kind space that I had actually not heard of until this event.
The ceremony took place at Plymouth Congregational Church in Coconut Grove. The reception took place at the Moore Building in the Design District Downtown.
The bride wore a beautiful Melissa Sweet gown and the men all wore Black suits with black ties and Converse sneakers....even the two dads. The bridesmaids were in short black Melissa Sweet dresses with their choice of black shoes.
Needless to say the entire bridal party was sleek and stylish!

Here are some pictures from their fabulous night!






The sign that directed guests to the cocktail area featured their dog Bo


The bamboo garden in which the cocktail hour took place was stunning




The bride's father is an architect, so the venue definitely had to be aesthetically appealing. It exceeded expectations. The Moore building and attached Bamboo Garden is amazing. The main focal point is the art piece "Elastika" which extends from side to side of the room from the bottom, 4 floors up. The concrete floors, exposed pipes and stark white walls provided a blank canvas to start from. The decor was modern and minimalistic with an Asian flavor. The round and rectangular tables were dressed in black linens with white pintuck runners. The centerpieces were potted orchids in tall rectangular vases. Square votives and rectangular white pillars provided candlelight. The last minute addition of Lime Green uplighting (Thanks Ubi!) pulled it all together.
Mena Catering set up an AMAZING spread for the buffet. The table was decorated with stone Buddhas and other Asian inspired statues, vases filled with water and floating candles, wheat grass patched and lots of orchids. It was beautiful and guests could not stop commenting on it. Most importantly the food was delicious and the staff friendly and accomodating. The service was top notch.

Bekah & Josh, you both are such loving and great people I hope that the rest of your lives are as amazing as last night. Thank you so much for allowing me to be a part of one of the most memorable nights of your lives.

Happy 2009! Shirisa & Chad's Intimate Destination Wedding!

First, I would like to start off by saying Happy New Year! to all my current and former brides and all my loyal blog followers!
2008 was an amazing year for us and we look forward to all that 2009 will bring!
The 2008 year ended with a beautiful wedding at the Four Seasons Miami which you will see below and 2009 will start with an amazing wedding this coming weekend!
Stay tuned!

My last 2008 couple was Shirisa and Chad. This beautiful couple actually lives in Texas. You may ask why they chose Miami. Well, Shirisa and Chad actually met in Miami and when it came time for Chad to propose he chose the Four Seasons as the place. Shirisa and Chad actually got engaged in the very spot where they said " I Do"! Her getting ready/honeymoon night suite was the same suite they stayed in that night. They asked 12 of their closest family and friends to join them for this special occasion. The result: a beautiful aisle lined with alternating height cylinder vases with floating candles....a very modern and sleek lounge area....and an absolutely stunning candle lit dinner for 12 under an organza canopy with flowers and crystals hanging from the top. The long rectangular table had different size and height vases filled with an abundance flowers and candles. Everything was black & white with tiny hints of pink. It was gorgeous. Jack from J. Morgan Flowers did an absolutely AMAZING job with all the decor.

Shirisa wore a beautiful lace fitted gown that was adorned with a white satin sash and crystal brooch. After the ceremony we went upstairs where we changed out the white sash for a black one. She looked fabulous. Chad wore a very modern pin-stripe black suit with a black tie. Think CK model-ish.
What a hot couple!

Shirisa and Chad, thank you so much for asking me to be a part of your day (even last minute!). Your families are so wonderful and it's amazing how closely knit you all are. I wish you both nothing but a lifetime of happiness!

Indira & Ernesto's beautiful Deering Estate wedding!

Let me start by saying I truly love the Deering Estate. The grounds are absolutely amazing. Even with all the rules I still love working there. Indira and Ernesto's wedding was no exception. I had been looking forward to this even for almost a year.

I was a little worried at the beginning of the day because it was a little cloudy and I kept being approached about what the back up would be in the event of rain because it looked very probable. I just stayed positive and insisted it would not rain that day! About 20 minutes later....the sky was blue.

The night was perfect, not too cold.
The tables looked stunning! But they definitely did not hold a candle to the bride.

Indira and Ernesto were so happy with everything....which made me very happy :)I wrote a mini- novel in your guest book so I will let you read all my sentiments there! Just know that I love you both and thank you so much for trusting me with your day! Have a blast in Europe!

So this time around no pictures....this time around I made a video instead. This kind of occurred because out of the 200 or so pictures I took. I decided on 60. So that was too many for a post.
I put them all in a video. Please excuse the "mis-spellings" in the credits. For some reason I can figure out why it's cutting off the last letter of some words.

The song I picked took a little inspiration from the couples first dance. They danced to "Bless the Broken Road" by Rascal Flatts. So I chose another Rascal Flatts song for the video :)

Enjoy!

Monica and Anthony's Beautiful Backyard Wedding!

This is going to be a very stupid question for anyone that reads my blog but....how many of you have seen this movie?


If you have then it's probably the first thing you are going to think of as you start reading about this wedding.

Monica and Anthony were initially a destination wedding couple. That idea shortly went out the window when they opted for a wedding at her father's house.
Monica's father has a beautiful house in Coral Springs that they turned in to a beautiful reception space for the wedding.

The guests at this wedding had an amazing time. The party was going till 5am!!! and that was only because by that point the Bride & Groom were ready to go! Lol

Monica and Anthony, I had a great time at your wedding and thank you so much for letting me be a part of it! I'm sure that your lives will be filled with love and lots and lots of laughs!

Here are some pictures from the evening
