Cayman Islands Real Wedding :: SURPRISE! , Part 2

So I mentioned earlier, but just in case you missed it, this was a surprise wedding (for most!).  The guests thought they were attending this couple’s engagement party but when they arrived, SURPRISE!  WE’RE MARRIED!!  As if that wasn’t enough of a reason to boogie down and celebrate there was one more surprise in store for these folks…A BABY IS ON THE WAY!!  What a great evening and a fun way to share all of this great news with friends and family!!

I would’ve been all over this candy bar, fyi…and aren’t you just loving that martini centerpiece?  That has fun written all over it!!

This has got to be one of the CUTEST photos of all time.  I love when all of the guests are down with the Crazy Booth!

Cayman Islands Real Wedding

A few weeks ago I posted a story board about signs. I love when people use fun signs to add to their decor and these folks took that story board and brought it to life! Each sign they used had meaningful words that really stop and make you think about what this day is all about–marrying the one you love.

The aisle was lined with different signs along the way.  Some heartfelt, some to give a laugh.  After all, isn’t that what marriage is supposed to be about?  Growing together, sharing your hearts with each other and laughing A LOT! 

Loving the bridesmaids dresses…I love how their all different and the berry color really is gorgeous!

The signs continued into the reception…I would have been all about those maracas!!  Shake, shake, shake!!

Cayman Islands Real Wedding :: Brittain and Brian, Part 2

Welcome back to this tropically festive fabulous wedding! 

Crystal Blue ::  There are so many lovely details in this wedding.  What was your favorite design element?

B&B ::  Scrolled messages in a bottle gave everyone their table seating. The table names were of Essie nail polish colors related to wedding names liked “Happily Ever After” and “Wedded Bliss.” Each woman had the nail color of their table at their seat.

At the end of the evening, all of the sudden, fireworks went off!!  They weren’t planned for the wedding but a nearby location had them for an event and luckily everyone at the wedding benefited from the spectacular display!  As my Dad said, timing is everything!!

Cayman Islands Real Wedding :: Jennifer and Philipp

Today we are introducing you to Jennifer and Philipp’s wedding weekend!  I say introduce because there was so much fun with this couple and their group, this is just the first post of a few you will see this week.  I was so honored to personally work with Jennifer and Philipp…they are such fantastic people with impeccable style and full of fun  that I just had a blast helping them plan their wedding weekend.

The weekend started when the guests arrived…each welcomed with a bag full of goodies including Tortuga Rum and a can of diet Coke, Tortuga coffee, some snacks and a map/itinerary designed by Laura Hooper Calligraphy.  Everyone stayed at the Caribbean Club and Jennifer and Philipp had a great idea and rented one of the villas to be the “gathering” point throughout the weekend. 

Thursday night everyone enjoyed a welcome cocktail in the Villa and then headed to Ragazzi for a yummy casual dinner.  It was a great way to start off the weekend!  Jennifer and Philipp had David Wolfe document each night (and of course the wedding day!).

Day 2…beach, fun and sun during the day and the white party at night.  The night kicked off with a sunset sail on the Red Sail catamaran.  Mise En Place catered in some apps for the sail as well.  After returning to shore, the guests enjoyed the rest of the evening at the Villa where steel drummers played some tunes, Mise En Place put on some food and beverage and everyone just had a great time! 

Day 3…wedding day.  You’ll have to come back later in the week for these details!!!!

Cayman Islands Real Wedding :: Wedding Wednesday!

Happy Wedding Wednesday!  Hope your week is going well and you’re looking forward to the wedding goodness today.  I commonly receive emails and comments asking me to feature more simple weddings and today I’m happy to oblige! 

This wedding was held recently on a private beach in the South Sound area of the island.  The couple and guests stayed on the East End of the island and made the “journey” into town for the ceremony and dinner at the Ritz Carlton Grand Cayman.  The day was beautiful, as you can see by the photos and the couple couldn’t be happier!!

Cayman Islands Real Wedding :: Ashley and Todd, Portrait and Trash The Dress

Welcome back!  Our final installment of Ashley and Todd’s wedding.  For the week leading up to the wedding, Ashley was unsure about trashing the dress.  I told her, knowing Rebecca Davidson as well as I do, if she’s on the fence about it, she will end up in the water with the dress on!  So, needless to say, I was not surprised when these photos landed in my inbox!  Look how much fun they’re having–Ashley, you made the right decision!!!

They started off their portrait session at Camana Bay which has all sorts of gorgeous nooks and crannies! 

They then moved on to the Shangri La Bed and Breakfast for a few shots…

And finally took to the water for the official trashing of the dress!!

Well done you two and congratulations!!!!!
