Cayman Islands Real Wedding :: Noel and David

Happy Thursday my darlings.   Hope the week is going well.  Some fun from a fantastic couple to keep this week happening for you!  I’m on a Grand Old House kick this week, so here’s one more to round things out.

Noel and David were married just a couple of weeks ago and even the staff at Grand Old House were talking about how much fun their wedding was!  The weather was a little tempermental that day, but that didn’t stop the ear to ear smiles and the great fun had by everyone! 

Before things started at Grand Old House, Rebecca Davidson took the couple to a few favorite spots to get them warmed up. 

I chatted to Noel to find out more about their wedding…here’s what she said!

 Crystal Blue ::  Why did you choose Grand Cayman for your destination wedding?

Noel :: We choose Grand Cayman for three reasons.  First Grand Cayman is a desirable tropical destination because of the unique activities available such as Sting Ray city and diving.  Also, it is a higher-end island, meaning the restaurants, hotels, and services would be first class.  Third, it was central to both west coast and east coast guests. 

Crystal Blue ::  Where did you and your guests stay?

Noel ::  The Westin Casuarina Resort and Spa

Crystal Blue ::  Apart from the wedding which was of course the main event, did you plan any other fun activities for your guests?

Noel ::  The first We started things off with “Welcome Bags” for our guests.  Each contained personalized, custom-made beach towels, personalized water bottles, and custom-made drink tickets for our cocktail party held the first night at the Westin.  The second day’s events involved a chartered fishing boat for all of the men to go deep sea fishing while the girl’s had a bachelorette celebration under cabanas set up at the Westin. Spa services were provided on the beach under the cabanas.  The day after the wedding a group excursion had been arranged with Captain Marvin’s Watersports to go to Sting Ray City, and to snorkel for conch and starfish.  This was a highlight for the guests because we had the boat reserved entirely for our friends and family.  Some members of our family and friends had never even met, so after this experience they went home with new friendships and great memories. 

Crystal Blue ::  What was the inspiration for the design of your wedding?

Noel ::  Our colors were inspired by the sea glass colors of blue and green.  I just loved the flowers used throughout.  The bridal bouquet was a lush bundle of white cymbidium orchids and sparkling jewels wrapped in ivory silk.  The tables’ floral centerpieces were modern displays of orchids, hydrangeas, and calla lilies which kept the look very tropical, but still very chic. 

I just had to include a copy of their vows.  They are a true reflection of the personalities of Noel and David.  Completely in love and really know how to have fun!!
