A Queen for a Day!

A kiss from dad as he takes the long walk down the aisle.

Now this was a wedding fit for a Queen!

Rashawndalyn and Thomas came from out of state to get married on our beautiful Miami Beaches. She had dreamed of this day and envisioned a day of sunset beauty, white waves, warm sugar sand beneath their feet and being surrounded by their loved ones.

It was all about timing with this wedding. Sunset was key for her and him. Location was the other key factor and we nailed it!

We showed them the beautiful beach by the very beautiful beach by 30^th and Collins Avenue. And it was all that they had dreamed.

The bright color of red was that pop of color with her gorgeous gown and fabulously regal head piece.

 As the groom awaits patiently for his bride- his groomsmen stand by his side

I remember being so ecstatic that when they were pronounced husband and wife that the Earth turned and began to set! The picture captured by No Ordinary Love- Tatiana caught the sun right between their kiss!     

Rashawndalyn and Thomas opted to have a seashell ceremony, in where they gave a seashell to each of their loved ones and their loved ones each produced a wish and then placed into the sea.

The seashell ceremony is perfect for small ceremonies in where each person writes or says a wish for the couple- like- LOVE, RESPECT, FAITH etc... They can either collect the seashells and place them in a vase or jar OR they can offer it back to the world. Kinda of like great Karma.

How to stay cool in a beach wedding

So up north the weather has dropped a few degrees and South Florida begins to call all of you to come on down and thaw out.

And while our average temperature is 85 degrees Fahrenheit, feeling so much better than the 31 degrees up north- the heat on the beach can still cause some discomfort. So here is a list of ways that we read from our colleagues to help keep your self and your guests cool while they wait for your arrival down the aisle.

• Just think it's the coldest day of the year, your body will in few minutes accept the solution, hopefully, and you will need an extra jacket!" 
• Bring a change of shirt should the one you are wearing get a bit sweaty. 
• Sprays anti-perspirant on your feet, back and chest. This prevents you from sweating as much as you usually would and helps keep you much drier than normal.  This is for the men!
• A black shirt, although not good for being out in the sun, helps a great deal in hiding wet spots when sweating. 
• I also bring a small cooler with several re-freezable ice packs and several bottles of water.
  This is small enough (size of a lunchbox) that I can carry it around with my camera bag if needed. 
• I have had brides be very appreciative if I have a cold bottle of water ready for them. 
• I also do not wear a jacket unless the venue calls for it, but by then we are inside with air conditioning.  
• Start out from home well hydrated
• Carry water and drink it! It doesn't have to be cold, you just need the wet to replace what you lose. 
• Pace yourself and don't over-exert.
• Eat lightly when you eat.
• Of course a fan- but there are battery operated fan that even allow some cool water to come out 
• Umbrella- instant shade!
• Freeze fruits before you go and bring them with you- grapes, oranges and apples- of course watermelon! 
• Wear natural fibers- cotton and linen are popular in the tropics for a reason.
• And if you are feeling too hot- walk and place your feet in the cool water.

Stay cool here is South Florida and enjoy

Destination Wedding- Miami Beach

If you are visiting Miami Beach in the near future or plan on visiting one day... Here are a few tips that will surely make your stay in Miami much more pleasurable; as well as affordable.
Tip #1: Book Ahead
This tip might be obvious to anyone who is a frequent traveler, but it is a crucial part of saving money and making your trip less stressful. Hotels in Miami Beach are usually booked well in advance and tend to be fully occupied -- especially during peak times of the year.
If you make your reservations at least four weeks in advance (or more) you can save a considerable amount of money on both flights and hotel rates.
Many hotels offer a % discount if you book early.
Why pay more for the same exact vacation when all you have to do is book ahead? Not only is it a crucial tip; it's also one of the easiest to implement.
Remember there so many sites that offer very cost effective hotels, but you can count on us to give you the real deal on the deal.
I recommend sites like Trip Advisor- read the reviews!
Tip #2: Location
When choosing a hotel in Miami Beach and an overall location, you must first determine what the main focus of your trip is going to be. If you are traveling on business, you will obviously want to stay somewhere that is relatively close to where your business meeting/convention is. Or you may want to find a Miami Beach hotel that has the best price; if your company is not paying for your lodging.
However, if you are coming to Miami for pleasure or vacation -- You will more than likely want to stay directly on the beach. There are many places to stay along the beach from North Beach all the way down to South Beach and then some.
Believe it or not from the Miami Airport- South Beach is no more than 15 minutes away and from Fort Lauderdale about 30-40 minutes.
You also want to watch for parking-the city has added several brand new parking lots-if you want to rent a car. If you want to just stay in South Beach then catch a cab, a bus or ride our Deco Bikes around.
Tip #3: Hotel Price
For some people, the price is the most important determining factor as far as which hotel in Miami they end up lodging in. There are many affordable hotel deals in Miami Beach, but personal preference is also a factor in my opinion.
Let's say you're comparing two different hotels that have similar rates; but one of them is directly on the beach, while the other is more in town. The prime choice would be the one on the beach of course, so price wouldn't necessarily be the ONLY factor in this decision.
The point is, you will want to find the place that has the most features and amenities, while also having the best price.
These three tips can help you decide where you want to stay and remind you of what the most important things to look for are when visiting a hotel in Miami Beach, Florida.
