Cayman Islands Real Wedding :: Jenny and Josiah

I was so happy to receive this wedding to share with all of you.  The couple is gorgeous, the details are beautiful and I just plain love this wedding.  Looking at the photos I could feel the joy during this day and there are so many romantic aspects, what’s not to love?  Also, and I just have to throw this in there…these two HAD A RAIN BACKUP!!!   Thank you, very much!

Since Jenny and Josiah had previously lived in Cayman, the decision to marry here was easy.  They wanted to share all of the things they love about Cayman with their family and what better time to do that then at their wedding!  The couple incorporated local bougainvillea into their ceremony decor with the beautifully decorated chuppah to give the decor some local flavor.

This lovely couple had planned to be married outside on the deck of the Cracked Conch, but Mother Nature had other plans.  They moved their ceremony inside, however, when it was ready for cocktails and dancing, the skies had cleared!

Oh, did I mention they  had my favorite color scheme??   Aqua and orange…I just love it!

Everyone finished off the night dancing under the stars!!!

Cayman Islands Real Wedding :: Kristin and Howie

Weddings in the Cayman Islands do not have to be all sea shells and tropical colors.  This wedding is a perfect example of finding one element (in this case it was the cake) and basing the entire design around that one thing.  The color was red accented by silver, the couple was full of energy and laughter and the guests had a spectacular time!

The wedding was held at Grand Old House in Grand Cayman just a couple of weeks ago.  I had the opportunity to meet this couple and let me tell you, I have never seen two more smiley and energetic people in my life!   Being around them, I couldn’t help but be excited for them and their big day!

So many elements of this wedding were personal to the bride and groom, including the vows they wrote for each other…on their iphones.  I like to think I’m technologically savvy, but when they took their phones out to read their vows I was pretty impressed!

Kristin ::  The most memorable moment of the day was during the ceremony.  I was tearing up while Howie was non-stop laughing.  I looked around and everyone was also crying & laughing at the same time with us. It was so emotional!!  I remember thinking he was so cute  and after his said his vows I asked the officiate if I could kiss him.  He told me I had to wait! 

We’ll be back in a little while with more–don’t miss it!!

Cayman Islands Real Wedding :: Rachel and Boris, Part 2

We’re back with more from this “made for each other” couple.  You can see it in the photos, but honestly, the amount of laughing taking place during this wedding was incredible.  Everyone was so happy, relaxed and just excited for the day!

Crystal Blue ::  What was your favorite design element?

Rachel and Boris :: Where do we begin… The invitation set the tone for the wedding.  The invites were square with the trio of colors and one single Palm Tree.  This easily segued into the design elements.  For the ceremony, I walked down an espresso, wooden runway that just popped off the white sand of the beach.  The guests sat on espresso benches with white rectangular cushions.  The square bamboo canopy that we exchanged our vows under was draped in white fabric with the aqua blue ocean as a back drop.  HOW BEAUTIFUL IS THAT?!

Then… The reception.  Our guests sat at a table family style with aqua linen and multiple espresso runners that ran width wise.  Each setting was layered with the trio of colors.   The base linen was aqua, then an espresso pintuck napkin, with white square chargers.  The centerpieces were a line of  white orchids in glass vases with actual espresso beans in the bottom of the vase.  We danced the night away under a clear top tent that faced the ocean with a never ending line of tiki torches that separated us from the water…  The finish couldn’t have matched my inspiration an better and my favorite elements were sprinkled everywhere throughout the night.  There was never just one…

Thank you, Rachel and Boris for sharing your day with us!!!

Welcome back for more of Scott and Lindsay’s Christmas Eve Wedding!  Loving this beautiful turquoise and orange color palate and the fun, laid back style of this couple!

After the ceremony the guests were met with the couple’s signature drink, the Cayman Sunset (appropriate, I’d say!!) and then made their way up to the rooftop for a great dinner, heartfelt speeches and dancing the night away!
