Cayman Islands Real Wedding :: Yewande and Olaniyi

I don’t even know where to start with this wedding.  EVERYTHING (and I mean EVERYTHING) was absolutely gorgeous.  First, I fell in love with the bride and groom, then the stationery, then the table settings, then the guests…the whole three days looked so amazing and full of fun!!!

The couple and their “small” group of 100 guests (they are from Nigeria and for them, 100 people was small) spent some time together exploring the island.  The first night they took a sunset cruise on a Red Sail catamaran.  Catered by Mise En Place, this group did not go hungry!! 

The second day started off with some golf and then, in the evening, the group got together for what looked like a GREAT P-A-R-T-Y!!!  With dinner at LUCA, the group danced the night away with the fantastic band, Bona Fide. 

Check out the photos of these two days from their friend and photographer, Wale Ariztos.  He captured some great moments–a ton of laughter, some fantastic dancing AND a fire eater!!!

Then came wedding day….

With everything on the wedding day taking place at the Ritz Carlton Grand Cayman, we were off to a good start.  Add in Yewande’s amazing dress and gorgeous yellow shoes and there was no turning back!!!  Loving the letterpress stationery, although you already knew I was a paper junkie!

And, of course, the DANCING!!! 

One last amazing detail and very special touch…the bride and groom slipped thank you notes to each of their guests during the after party so when they returned to their rooms a Thank You was waiting for them.  I just thought that was SO thoughtful of them to think of their guests in this way. 

Congratulatons Yewande and Olaniyi!  Thank you so much for allowing us to share your wonderful wedding weekend!!

Cayman Islands Real Wedding :: Heather and Ryan

I have been dying to post this wedding for so many reasons.  Could it be the beautiful couple?  Yes.  The gorgeous decor?  Yes.  Three different dresses?  Yes.  Basically, it’s everything!!!  I hope you enjoy!

This lovely couple chose Cayman for their destination wedding after many years of visiting Grand Cayman as a family.  The Bride’s family are regular visitors to Cayman and introduced the groom to this amazing island just a few years ago.  He fell in love with it just as quickly as she did, so when it came time to get married, they just knew. 

The couple chose the Ritz Carlton, Grand Cayman for their wedding location.  Seven Mile Beach was the backdrop for their ceremony, following on to the Grand Terrace for the dinner and the Grand Ballroom for the dancing.  All of their guests wore white which further illustrated their love and support for the happy couple.

No detail was left to chance and special touches were everywhere.  Above, the cake topper from the Bride’s parent’s wedding was on display next to the guest book-scrapbook.  The place settings were complete with a personalized, letterpress menu for each guest.

During dinner, the guests were entertained by fabulous band, Bona Fide then worked their way into the South Beach themed ballroom to dance the night away!
