April and Andrew! Stunning Deering Estate Wedding!

April and Andrew were married at one of my all time favorite venues, The Deering Estate at Cutler. They had perfect weather for there outdoor ceremony and cocktail hour and then got cozy in the Stonehouse Ballroom for the reception when the temperatures lowered to the 50's with warm fall color scheme including gold and chocolate, manzanita centerpieces, and amber uplighting. April looked stunning in a Melissa Sweet gown. Natural elements met high end glamour with mixes of moss and crystals, upscale stationary and lush florals. These amazing photos were taken by Gregory Paul Photography. Enjoy!

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. The guests then entered a reception tent where the centerpieces further enhanced the elegant nautical theme with lanterns surrounded by lush florals. Dinner stations included elegant spins on southern favorites such as shrimp and grits. Red velvet cake was served for dessert in addition to chocolate chip cookies and milk shakes.

Jamie and Darren's Delray Beach Wedding!

Jamie and Darren were married in beautiful Delray Beach. They wanted a romantic candle-lit reception with white florals and sage pintuck linens. We washed the ballroom in amber lighting and rented Areca palm trees to soften the room. Lush hydrangea was mixed with orchids and curly willow for a modern look on the centerpieces. Crystals filled the vases for that touch of bling. Thank you to Brian Immke from Adept Wedding Photography for the photos.

Willy Wonka Theme 15th Birthday Bash!

Its been a while since i've had the opportunity to blog. We have already completed many amazing events this season and I cant wait to start sharing some of our most recent work. I am thrilled to kick off a new series of blogs with a fabulous 15th birthday party / quince for Sophia. When I met Sophia and her mom Ana, we instantly clicked and were all on the same page with our vision for the event. Sophia wanted a Willy Wonka theme, but also wanted the party to have a night club feel and a sophistication to it. We transformed their backyard with a fully draped tent, whimsical lanterns and parasols hung from the ceiling, dramatic uplighting, and fun and modern decor elements such as spandex linens, lucite chivari chairs, white lounge furniture, green orchids with submersible led lights, and mini cubes of wheat grass.

Our in house graphic designer Susie created a custom logo for Sophia using her Willy Wonka inspiration and color theme. The logo was used everywhere from the dance floor gobo, custom decal created for the lucite bar, cake, candy bar wrappers, tee shirts, and most impressive a custom "step and repeat" backdrop used in the photo booth.

The party boasted some incredible treats including a lavish candy bar, chocolate fountain, a 3 tier custom cake, and 2 specialty drinks or mocktails named after Sophia.

Here are some photos of the big day taken by Vanessa Lam of VLM Studios. Enjoy!
