A Wedding in Miami Beach

Beautiful large callas by Infinity Weddings & Events,LLC.

This was one of the nicest weddings we ever did! 

Curtis, a firefighter and Heather, a student- decided that there would be no better place to have a very intimate moment in their lives than Miami Beach.

They were very sure of the what they wanted and how! Intimate, only them, barefoot, the view of the water, and between palm trees blowing in the wind.

While they were in their state, we handled the acquiring of the marriage license; so they just came to South Florida and enjoyed their stay. We offer this convenience to all our clients- talk about relieving stress.

I picked them up from their hotel to take them to the very beautiful and breathtaking spots- Pelican Harbor.

When she saw how beautifully the palm trees swayed and Curtis' smile- you can see how happy she was. This is a beautiful couple and it shows.

I love that her wedding dress was so simple and yet elegant at the same time. It flows gently in the breeze; capturing every wind breeze.

Standing on the rocks overlooking the beautiful Biscayne Bay- but you can feel the love between them. Powerful stuff!

We then drove them to the beach- where thankfully, the beach goers were going, and were able to capture some awesome shots. The coloring of the lifeguard house added the right touch of POP- keeping Curtis and Heather the focal point of the picture.

I so loved how she had complete trust- that he would not let his beautiful bride fall. The kiss to a happy beginnings.

FUN FACT: The wedding cake has its origins as a fertility symbol in Roman antiquity when a cake, rather than being eaten, was broken over the bride’s head. The idea developed over the centuries into a series of several cakes placed on top of one another.

Island DestinationWedding

We are always doing weddings... something about love and the promise to be with that person- to love, respect, trust and take care of. This is the wedding of Monsell and Katia!

Well for Monsell and Katia- this had a deeper meaning. They are both in the Military and serving our country. Monsell was away in the war and she was at home- keeping the watch for him here. They were doing so much- buying a home, taking care of their family and country, that we never really got to talk. What dilemna! But never fear we do this all the time.

Since we do many out state couples, it is very common to use other means of communications- such as texts, email and Skype. But in this case we did it the old fashion way- through momma and sister.
Well mom is also in the military- so really sister was the life link to them. It is absolutely awesome when everyone is on board for your marriage!

After all was said and done I thought that they were never going to walk down the aisle! But boy did they do it in style!

She, being a Sagittarius- adventurous and avant garde- had her wedding dress designed to fit her personality. It was a perfect design -fit to her personality and taste and she ROCKED IT! She had the front shortened to give her length, but still kept the fullness and airy feel of the dress. The bodice was a rue-shing design with a beading applique- gave it a fun and fabulous flair!

The family opted to symbolize this marriage with a Sand Ceremony. Each color represents them as an individual.

 The wedding party's colors were black, gold, turquoise and ivory. Each bride's maids had a black tea length dress but with a different cut. The flower girl maintained the neutral color

Matching the dapper groom's men!

The once down the aisle and holding each other hands- the sun streams in as the officiant, Lowell Gannon, performs the ceremony!

Once they kissed- shhh- you can't see. We are off to the party

 So we leave the island on the skipper off to the marina to eat, drink , dance and be married!

Table Numbers- Original Touches

I just completed our December 31, 2012 wedding's table numbers and I must say that we did a pretty awesome job!
In this design, we took the engagement photo session of Julie and Edwin with No Ordinary Love photographer- Tatiana Cohen, and simply printed them out on photo paper. the numbers were added to give a little pop. On the back we also stenciled the number so as to have an overall effect and view for their guest. And you all know I love the bling- so we incorporated the color of their wedding and beaded it through with bling!

Table Number- with Bride and Groom's engagement picture on it.

Not to be confused with Escort cards; which has every guests' name individually and table numbers, the Table numbers, besides being oh so very helpful,  are very important to the overall look and feel of any elegant wedding. I say this because your wedding day should encompass all the elements that reflect you and your spouses ideas, energy and feelings about one another. This little detail really sets the tone for so little money.

On the creativity side- there is no limit- so long as it represents you both. Go wild! If you like ballet and he likes sports find a melding of the two. The really popular ones are the ones where the bride and groom have pictures of the themselves at the age of the table number. Very cute; I like more for a formal babyshower or birthday party... but none the less it represents.

Here are some very unique pieces that were used as table numbers.

First Beach Wedding of the Year 2012

The weather has been so absolutely gorgeous here in Sunny Florida and Paul and Lisette were ready to have their dream wedding on the day of pure love.

Their colors were turquoise and green with accents of ivory. Against the beautiful waters of Miami Beach. And we loved the fact that the bride wore a simple but elegant turquoise gown.

The wedding ceremony was performed by The Most Reverend Father Joaquin Perez, in Spanish, and all the guests were dressed in white; which happens to be another nice trend happening with beach weddings. The bride was nervous and extremely happy.

The couple loved the colors of turquoise and wanted to put in some accent colors. The results was a very happy medium of green and ivory hydrangeas; which were placed inside the tiki torch bases. The weather was cloudy but extremely windy and flames would not stay, so we improvised.

The marriage ceremony was performed under a 9x9 bamboo arch with hanging crystals. Our couple performed the seashell ceremony where their guest took a seashell and made a wish for them- such as love, hope etc...

All in all the couple and their family and friends enjoyed a beautiful ceremony on the beautiful beaches of Miami Beach.

CALL TODAY!  

Starting from the begining of your marriage.. planning your wedding is the start!

This flower is found in two places- by volcanoes and by the beach of Hawaii.

You do you remember that exciting feeling  you had when the person you love just asked you if you will spend the rest of your life with them. How anxious were you when he proposed and when you said "YES!" The shocked look that was on his face. He thought you were going to say no and instead you said yes. Do you remember, before you started planning your elegant wedding, why you said yes? It is probably because you want to spend the rest of your life with him. And why do you want to spend the rest of your life with him?  You must respect him and his ideas, because he has great ideas- he did after all ask you to marry him. What a great idea!

During this time of planning when you have been unsure of what color or type of flowers you like and you are finding yourself changing your mind, often. You found yourself not being able to make up your mind on whether it should be a sit down or buffet style. So why have you not asked you fiance'? Have you tried asking your now fiance'? Yes, the same one who asked you to spend the rest of your life with him.

Now I understand that some decisions are based on what you can afford, but if you are not in that predictment and you cannot decide then seek your fiance's advise.

Believe it or not, your future husband and men in general, are pretty well equipped on making the final decision. Men also do not get bogged down to all the tiny details as we do. So their decision making will be broader and best in selection of  vendors, food and the drinks. The ceremony is for the bride but the reception is the party for the groom...at least that is what he thinks.

Most men will base their decision on something that will make his future wife happy. They seek that approval from you. Allow him to have input, encourage it, praise him for it and let him know how happy you are from it. Let him know you are glad that he is someone you can respect because he not just thinking of himself, but instead thinking of his future family.What you are doing here is encouraging participation, team work, a very strong sense that he is valued by one of the most important person in his life,YOU and he will want to continue to do it.

Now will you say Monica I have "tried" and he does not say anything or he brushes me off or you have received a negative response,I want you to try a technique called the Oreo cookie compliment. It is a method past on from woman to woman for generations and maybe it goes by a different name but the method you will recognize.

This method allows you to compliment him, then give the suggestion or ask the question etc.., and then add another compliment. Scenario " Honey you have a great eye for details, can you tell me which shade of pink is better, I am not sure and you are so good at seeing it".  Did you pick that up? Also remember to check yourself. Have you been the woman who constantly disagrees with whatever he suggests? Have you asked and then throw the suggestion to the way side? If you are guilty of this then you are only getting back what you have done. So stop it and start complimenting.

I was definitely guilty of that and reaped it big time. I have used the Oreo cookie compliment and it has worked and better yet he does it to me, but I get the compliment and the acknowledgement and more over the support and team work of my husband. I do not feel alone in all of the decision making. That burden is shared.

Men require respect and they require for their life mate to be the most supportive person in their life. Women, we require love, whatever love is for you. So you have to be their cheerleader so to speak. Once you start showing your appreciation, a wonderful thing will continue to happen. He will constantly and consistently do it and you will be stress free to plan your dream wedding. He WILL back you up, be supportive of you, because he REALLY wants to make you happy.

Key points to remember is- one- he is not your child, so don't treat him as such. Two- allow him to be human, he will make mistakes. Three- most decisions with the all information given, will probably be made with your happiness in mind.

When you listen and trust your future husband's decision for your wedding details you begin a wonderful process of working together. You have turned that I, ME or MINE syndrome to a WE, US,OUR syndrome. And is that not a better syndrome to have?

Beside his decisions cannot be all that bad. He did chose you to spend the rest of his life with.

Great decision dude...keep it up.

Although they are separated by circumstance when placed together they work in beautiful harmony!
