French Elegance Direct from Paris at Vizcaya

We put together this wedding in about 2 months while me in Miami and the bride in Paris.  Halfway through the process I finally got to “meet” the bride and groom via skype and finally met the groom in person on his wedding day.  This pair has a true love story and everyone was reminded of it throughout the event.  They wanted all their guests to feel comfortable and constantly be entertained.  Guests came from all over the world to watch ALF and JMJ walk down the aisle.

Alyssa and Jeff Come Home

Working with Alyssa and her family on planning her wedding day was amazing.  It is always nice when it feels like “coming home”.  Mine and Alyssa’s family have known each other forever and the month before her wedding I had the honor of doing her cousin Mara’s wedding.  

There were a lot of things to think about when we started the planning process…..mainly, we had to find a date that wasn’t going to coincide with any big sporting event.  We succeeded and a beautiful wedding was planned at the Coral Gables Country Club.  Of course we made sure that Alyssa and Jeff’s personalities rang through so when they wanted to surprise everyone with their grand entrance introduction being made by the announcer of the Miami Heat my lips were sealed.

Alyssa and Jeff both grew up in South Florida but have spent years in Atlanta.  Their families are large and friends plentiful – boy do they know how to party!  Everyone was on the dance floor all night celebrating this incredible couple.

Thank you Heather Funk Photography for the images.

Can you say SMOKING hot???

Yeah…just check out this couple.  What can I say — full perfect moon over perfect Vizcaya weather….can’t beat it.  Sylvia and Rasmar tied the knot over a month ago but the memory of such a ideal Florida night lives on.  Enjoy some of the fabulous shots by our buddy, Alain Martinez.

Love Flagler, Chez, Emily…and KELLY AND RANDALL!!

Kelly and Randall’s wedding was just plain FUN.  Fun can only be given by the attendees….no amount of my decor / planning can make up for guests that are just genuinely there to have a great time.  Check out the pics from our friend, Emily Harris.  Special thanks to Sarah at Flagler who helps us to realize just how fabulous and able to hold 300 that place is!

Ruchey and Sean – True Love Ritz Carlton South Beach

FUN!!  Everything from Sean busting out a Bangara style special dance to surprise his bride to hearing that awesome song from Slumdog Millionaire, you know the one where the kids are on the train, and seeing the entire guest list busting out in literally ground shaking dance.  This couple just wouldn’t stop with their surprises for one another and they just kept getting better and better. Ruchey with her surprise Bagpiper to lead the crowd to cocktail hour to the mobile DJ to play on the Barat path.   And the mehendhi party the night before in the Evolution room — just SICK!  Thank you so much Jeff Kolodny for the photos and the entire Ritz Carlton staff whom I just can’t say enough good things about!

A Miami Platinum Wedding!

For starters, WOW!!! Kris and Lauren WE LOVE YOU!! Picture this: competely over the top good time. And then multiply by about a gagillion.
This is the Platinum Wedding that I know so many of you were waiting for pics of. There were so many awesome, amazing things, I am not sure where to start. The pictures here were taken by an amazing team of photographers Chris+Lynn and Timco. I think you will all agree how fun some of these shots are.
Okay, future brides want ideas…here they are. We started the day with hair and makeup and occassionally Lauren getting a little misty eyed. Kris spent the morning golfing (he is the real — a Golf Pro). Meanwhile, Ron Book, Lauren’s incredibly sweet but also very detail oriented father, was watching over the procession of the day.
We were expecting about 550 guests to the event. And they all showed. Plus some. Early in the day it was absolutely beautiful. However, about half an hour prior the the ceremony it started coming down — good ‘ol South Florida Wedding for you! We were prepared with a clear tent over the courtyard of the Aventura Fairmont Turnberry Isle Resort — who by the way had the most fantastic staff ever!
Because we wanted to “surround” the new couple with love we placed their Chupah in the center of the courtyard with chairs at 360 degrees. The Chupah was a mass of the brides colors of orchids, hydrangea and roses at every angle. Dalsimer Florist made this espeically beautiful. This was a dual religion ceremony, Jewish and Protestant and both religions came together with two officiants that worked quite harmoniously. They also sang us a very special song after the party!
Then to cocktail hour. Hmmm…where to start. Complete draping floor to ceiling, ice bars, plasma TVs with the couples engagement shots, lounge furniture, specialty cocktails, fabulous food!
After the cocktails we moved inside to the ballroom with everything from payette linens, a specialty Hora band (Schlomo you are awesome!), a Cirque style show with 3 acts, a 6’ tall wedding cake atop an ice sculpture. And this doesn’t even begin to cover it!
Enjoy the photos. We are expecting Platinum Weddings to air in late November, early December — We will keep you all updated!

Davie Ranch Extravaganza

For starters, Michelle is quite possibly my favorite bride ever. This is not to take away from all my other beloved brides, but she was just so incredibly awesome to work with!!
A lot of my brides ask, “Am I a bridezilla?”. The answer (ALMOST 100% of the time) is NO. This is the most special celebration day of your lives and you are allowed to be particular and choosy. I want to help you all find all the special details you ahve been looking for and sometimes it’s harder than others. I am finding more and more that the brides I work with want their days to be unique. This could be in decor, entertainment, venue, dresses or a multitude of other things. I am going to make it a point from this moment forward to try to publish as many unique things on this blog as possible to give you all ideas and inspiration.
As far as Michelle’s wedding went it was fantastic and worthy of a TV show. For starters, her families Davie, Fl horse ranch was converted into one enourmous tented ballroom and one clear tented ceremony area. Some of her highlights included a mariachi band, a show from the families horses, a fabulous after party, personalized splits of wine with their engagement photos, a photo booth, and the most awesome sunset wedding ever. Enjoy….I still am and congrats Michelle and Emil (who is also a very cool cat!)
