Jackie and Shannon - Australian Wedding in Miami!

Jackie and Shannon came all the way from Australia to get married at the beautiful Deering Estate at Cutler in Miami. This absolutely stunning couple were an absolute pleasure to work with! Jackie carried one of the most dramatic bouquets I have ever seen made of all phalenopsis orchids tied in an incredible cascade perfect for Jackie's exceptionally tall height. Cute and fun details such as petal cones, cocktail napkins, programs, place card envelopes, and a lemonade stand personalized the event in addition to a gourmet slider, french fry, and mac and cheese station. The tent was fully draped in white fabric and accented with both chandelier lighting and purple tone uplighting. The centerpieces were modern in cool with tropical leaves, white dendrobium orchids, and curly willow. The guests danced the night away to the sounds of Private Stock band. This was definitely a memorable event for guests from all over the world. These amazing photos were taken by Melissa Perez at Simply Captivating. Enjoy!

Nicolette and Andres - An Elegant Affair at The Biltmore Hotel!

Nicolette and Andres were married at the fabulous Biltmore Hotel in Coral Gables. The ceremony took place overlooking the golf course on one of the coldest nights of the year, so we warmed up the guests with welcome drinks including passed hot chocolate and shots of peppermint schnapps. After the ceremony guests were entertained by a Cuban trio and later a fantastic Latin band. The room was decked out in amber uplighting, dramatic centerpieces made of all phalenopsis orchids which were pinspotted, and taper candles in crystal holders. Amazing custom lounge areas surrounded the dance floor to overlook the guests dancing the night away. At the end of the night, the crowd did the traditional La Hora Loca or "Crazy Hour" where decorative masks were handed to the guests to dance like crazy for the last hour of the wedding.

Seaside Soiree at a Private Estate on the Intracoastal Water Way!

Whitney and John were married at a beautiful private seaside mansion in Hollywood Beach, FL. Whitney wanted to infuse her southern upbringing with her and John's love for yachting and the water into the wedding, which is exactly what we did. There ceremony overlooked both the pool and scenic intracoastal waterway and took place just before sunset. The guests then enjoyed cocktails on the pool deck during sunset where the scene transitioned from sunset to a dramatic lighting scheme.
