Aly and Jake - Villa Encanto

Aly and Jake's January wedding at Villa Encanto was truly one of a kind! So many personal elements of the couple's life and relationship were integrated into this event, and the result was a wedding that entirely reflected the couple standing under the chuppah!

A little bit about the couple before revealing the photos of their nuptials: they wanted to incorporate fruit in a big way; they chose a color palette of earthy brown and greens with pops of red and yellow. They wanted a completely relaxed ambiance in which guests could really kick back and enjoy the beach air; they wanted to incorporate their love of travel (both past and future endeavors) into the celebration. Their love of crossword puzzles had to be represented, and their two "kids" - a stuffed monkey and alligator - were absolutely essential as guests to the wedding! All these elements wrapped up into a cocktail-style reception and voila! A wedding to be remembered!

The lovely Jewish wedding ceremony took place in the villa garden where guests wrapped around three sides of the chuppah encircling the bride and groom as they exchanged vows.





Following the kiss, guests gathered on the outdoor terrace for appetizers, drinks and lots of fun interactive stations!











Following a few cocktails and tasty quesadillas prepared at a live cooking station, guests were invited to the beach for dancing, desserts and a surprise Churros station (the bride's very favorite!)

Congratulations Jake and Aly! You were sooo amazing to plan with! Happy Marriage!

Just Say 'Yes!'

This coming weekend brings us a fantastic bride, groom and a wedding different than any we've ever taken on! The bride and groom's love for peacock feathers, casablanca lillies, anything modern and the vibrance of Mexican folk art - not to mention a color palette of "blue, brown and tan with a little yellow, red and purple" (and yes, that is a direct quote!)- well, as you can imagine, it gave us a lot to think about!

Here is a peek at the inspiration board we put together that guided us in creating this weekend's wedding! Check back next week to see how it all came together!



This weekend we welcome (again) photographer Roy Thomas as well as Natalia from TLC's "Say Yes to the Dress" that has followed our lovely bride during her gown search and fittings and now follows her to wedding day!

See you next week!

Valentina and Dan - Dreams Resort

Ok, hold on to your seats . . . have we got a treat for you! Prepare yourselves; Kirsten Lewis has done it again - presenting us with unbelievable photos from Tina and Dan's big day!

Not only were we thrilled with the photos, the family, the guests and the setup, but we also loved the entire experience of planning with this amazing couple!!!


We based the design on a fantastic inspiration board sent to us by Tina in which she shared with us her vision for the wedding.


We added some personal touches and a bit of flare based on her invitation and fell in love with this design from the start!


So we've chosen our favorite photos of this celebration in hopes of sharing with you a slice of what we felt on wedding day! (Warning: we had over 60 favorite photos!)

Enjoy!
































































Congratulations Valentina and Dan!
