Carolina & Eladio's Wedding Story!

 

At my very first bridal show, I met this bride! She was getting married at the Sofitel Hotel and she wanted to see what the vendors in attendance had to offer. After a few weeks, she contacted me. We totally hit it off and so the planning began.


Carolina and Eladio have been together for years. They have a little boy (ring boy) that was just a piece of pie! So sweet and so cute. They are amazing parents, from what I can see, and they carry a special bond that is clearly written all over their faces.

Their wedding consisted of silver fortuny linen and blush pink accents. The flowers were beautifully created by Jorge Nevot and consisted of gorgeous vintage bases with a victorian style centerpiece. Their photographer was Ron Wood! Such a great guy. He had an amazing "first look" session where I snagged a few pics of my own. He brought a MAC computer screen and in the middle of the party started uploading wedding pics as he took the shots. People were actually viewing the pics during the wedding. AMAZING! Everyone was so impressed.


A photobooth was brought in and guests were allowed to take headshots as a keepsake. A duplicate copy was created and placed in a scrapbook which was handed to the couple at the end of the night with cute love notes all over from their guests.

They had an amazing crowd. Needless to say it was a total party when the hora loca began. Six Columbian dancers performed three numbers and then brought out all the party favors which rattled up all the guests.

These pics taken by Randy Borges Photography say it all. Full album posted on Facebook!

Carolina & Eladio- I know this post is long overdue, but I just wanted you to know that you both were amazing to work with. I hope you guys have a life blessed with happiness! You deserve it! Congrats!

Sunday Funday with Mr. & Mrs. Estrugo!

It would only be appropriate to start off by first thanking Victor Franco for referring me these amazing clients. They are both beautiful inside and out! With just a few months to plan the big day, it was one of my all time favorite. The ceremony and reception were at Red Fish Grill. The weather held up and actually ended up being the most amazing afternoon and evening. No rain, no waves, no worries. It was picture perfect! Thank goodness.

Guests were greeted with a preceremony cocktail and enjoyed some live instrumental music while we all anxiously waited for the bride to arrive. Once we began, we all witnessed an amazing ceremony and enjoyed a spectacular meal. We had the choice of three entrees, all cooked to order.

We accented the entire reception and ceremony area with varaiations of the color orange to match the modern chairs provided by the venue. We added to the beachy theme by offering starfish wrapped with orange ribbon to hold the place cards. Mia Bella Events & Design designed and created the menu cards and the place cards. Orange orchids adorned the dining tables, cake table and dessert station. The chuppaha had hanging orchids adorned by Jorge Nevot, of course.

And of course, to end the night...a firewoks show! Talk about "going out with a bang!" Nice surprise for the guests!

I can truly go on and on! These pictures taken by Randy Borges Photography speak for themselves. More pics on FACEBOOK. Here are some for you to enjoy. This is a true example where less is more. So simple, so classy, and so WOW! Congrats Josy & Ralf. Enjoy your cruise! I want to see pics...

He said "Marry Me." She said "Yes!"


From the moment I met them at their tasting, we totally hit it off! Ralph & Vivian were such a fun couple. They were referred to me by Fetes & Events. I loved this couple; full of energy and humor! Their wedding was simple and yet very elegant. They offered a vintage approach and handed out the CUTEST scratch-off tickets as favors. They were definitely "lucky in love." Their sign-in book was my all time favorite! They took engagement pictures and had an album created with a fifties theme! AMAZING AMAZING AMAZING! BEYOND CREATIVE! It's bitter sweet ending for me because they were so fun to work with, but I am glad they can now call each other husband and wife! Congrats you two! XOXO

Here's a sneak peak of their wedding day story created by MXI Studios:

Izarys & Tony said "I DO"

With a classic look and pure elegance, this event was one for the books! The JW Marriott in Brickell was the hotspot of the night! There were so many details and goodies for the guests to enjoy. From gorgeous overlays and one-of-a-kind centerpieces by Jorge Nevot, to custom favor boxes and wine stoppers, there was much to leave guests talking! The bride and groom hired an incredible band that gave a brilliant performance throughout the evening. At the end of the night, we set up a cute exit table that offered guests mini cake pops to take home. We decorated the table with "Sweet Dreams" frames all around. Great touch! The guests loved the added attention to detail. The pictures speak for themselves. Thank you Izarys and George for trusting in me on your very special day! I had a great time! XOXO

Here are some of the amazing pics Randy Borges Photography shot for Mia Bella!






The centerpieces above were about 3 feet high and had double sided mirrors on top, hanging crystals, and a variety of open flame candles. The bottom of the piece, was a square base of flowers. So original!
