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 :: Magda and Kiril

Happy Monday!!  Hope you all had a nice weekend!  I’m excited to share this wedding with you today because it’s our first time showing this venue and it is one of my favorites! 

The venue is a private villa on Seven Mile Beach called Coral Reef House.  It’s a beautiful five bedroom villa with an equally amazing stretch of beach and the perfect location for a wedding–small or large.  This lovely couple actually live in Grand Cayman and wanted someplace different for their wedding which is why they choose the Coral Reef.

Coordinated and designed by Celebrations, this couple kept natural with natural.  The bamboo seating for the ceremony as well as the woven lounge furniture really complimented the outdoor setting of the ceremony and reception.

Each guest received a thatch fan to keep cool and the couple stood under a natural bamboo canopy to exchange their vows.  The flowers were minimal, yet BEAUTIFUL and were, in fact, the bride’s favorite part of the design. 

After the ceremony, the guests enjoyed a lovely dinner under the stars and danced the night away!!!   Oh, by the way, come back Thursday for this couple’s AMAZING trash the dress session…you don’t want to miss–it’s too gorgeous!

One team you will need for your wedding, regardless of size, is equipment rental.  Well, maybe not if it’s just the two of you, but I’ll go out on a limb and say most weddings need equipment rental.  What does that include, you ask?  Chairs, tables, linen, china, lounge furniture and much, much more. 

The consultants at Massive Equipment are there to help you.  They can assist you with the layout of your space, the mock up of your table and of course with making suggestions based on their experience and expertise.  Below are just a few examples of the rentals you can find at Massive.

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!!!

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!
