A Winter Wonderland Wedding at Private Southwest Ranches Estate!



















We recently had the pleasure of coordinating Katie and Luke's amazing wedding at a private estate in Southwest Ranches. Their private home, which happens to be the largest residential property in Broward County set the stage for the lavish affair. Katie's vision was a Winter Wonderland and that is exactly what we gave her. The 5,000 square foot tent was decked out in full draping, loads of crystals, white snow branches, and dramatic uplighting and pinspotting. As guests dined on a duo of filet mignon and lobster tail, they were entertained by a 3-act performance inspired by The Nutcracker. One of the highlights of the night was the dramatic fireworks display that dazzled guests before they entered the tent for the reception. It was truly a fairy tale. Enjoy the amazing photos by Melissa Perez at Simply Captivating Productions! More to come!


































































































































































































These two are so in love!


Tina and Dhru - A Fabulous Indian Wedding in Coral Gables - Part 1













This is part 1 of 3 to this amazing Indian Wedding photographed by Alain Martinez. This action packed wedding weekend included, a Traditional Baraat Procession Complete with White Horse, Hindu Ceremony, Catholic Ceremony, and Over the Top Bollywood Style Reception. These photos are from the Baraat Procession and Hindu Ceremony, which took place at the Westin Colonnade in Coral Gables. We blocked off the street for the early morning Baraat where guests danced in traditional Indian attire as groom made his way to the ceremony. Tina, the bride was carried into the ceremony by 4 handlers on a doli and Tina and Dhru were married under a traditional Indian Mandap. I am so excited to see the remaining photos from the Catholic ceremony, where Tina wore a stunning Monique Lhuillier gown and the fantastic East meets West reception complete with plenty of bling, an impressive audio visual set up, and jaw dropping Bollywood performances. Stay tuned!
