Cayman Islands Wedding :: Kaitlin and Dane

The minute I saw the letterpress stationery I knew I was going to love this wedding.  I’m a sucker for anything letterpress.  Then I saw the rest of the images and I was hooked.  Hope you enjoy too!

Oh, the dress.  I am absolutely LOVING this dress.  I have to confess, I’ve never been a fan of short wedding dresses but this one is just 100% breathtaking, fun, flirty and perfect for any beach wedding!

Ritz Carlton Grand Cayman Wedding

We love the details from this wedding and that’s what we’re going to show you…the dress, the jewels and the cupcakes.  Of course there will be a little beach action in there as well–I mean it wouldn’t be a Cayman Islands wedding without some sand, would it??

Cayman Islands Real Wedding :: Lisa and David

We welcome a new photographer to Crystal Blue, Amy Strzalko from Picture this!  You’ll get to “meet” Amy next week but I thought I’d give Amy her real wedding debut today.  I mean, after all, this wedding is STUNNING!!!!!!  (Yes, that’s with a capital S.)

These two got married on the beach at the Ritz Carlton Grand Cayman.  I do love their canopy with the flower garlands as opposed to the traditional white draping.  Gorgeous touch.  Also, I have to say, I’m not usually a purple person but this is purple done perfectly (say that 3 times fast)!

Love that cake…bet it was as yummy as it is gorgeous.

Welcome Amy!  Have a great weekend everyone!!!

Cayman Islands Real Wedding :: Lisa and Mark

Welcome to Wedding Wednesday!  We hope you enjoy the first Wedding Wednesday of the year and to help, we’re bringing you more from the Ritz Carlton, Grand Cayman! 

Lisa and Mark were married on the beach at the Ritz Carlton with their closest family and friends surrounding them.  The beauty of the Caribbean was the decor focus for these two, keeping details to a minimum.  I got to spend a little bit of time with these two and their crew–what wonderful people just full of love and happiness for each other!!

 

Lisa, Mark and many of their guests stayed just down the road at The Beachcomber.  A great choice of accommodation for families and groups with not only luxury condominiums but a gorgeous piece of Seven Mile Beach to really enjoy!!

While in Grand Cayman the group also enjoyed an excursion to Stingray City as well as a fantastic Thanksgiving feast cooked by the bride herself!

Cayman Islands Accommodation :: The Ritz Carlton, Grand Cayman

You’ve seen Ritz Carlton, Grand Cayman real weddings featured on Crystal Blue many times.  They are, of course, always stunning affairs, personalized to each couple, as small and intimate or large and grand as you like.  The beauty of it all is that the personal service doesn’t just extend to wedding details. 

I have personally stayed at the Ritz Carlton, Grand Cayman (yes, I know, I only live down the road, but it was a nice get-away!!) and was blown away by the thoughtful attention we received from everyone.  My husband planned a night there for us on our one year anniversary.  He might have mentioned to one person (who is a friend of his that happens to work there) that it was our anniversary and then within minutes, it seemed, everyone who worked there was wishing us a happy one!  I was amazed and still wonder how they all knew!! 

We were greeted in our room with personal notes from the guest services team–yes, personal, handwritten notes (seriously!), champagne and strawberries.  I was touched that anyone even went to the effort of writing a note to us–perfect strangers who were only staying one night. 

The entire experience, from the minute we walked through the door, was beyond any expectation I had.  I’ve stayed in very nice hotels before (and not so nice ones as well…) and while the service was great at those it was what I would expect at any hotel…friendly helpful staff, beautiful grounds, etc. etc.  These folks at the Ritz Carlton, Grand Cayman really knocked my socks off, though and I would HIGHLY recommend it as a fantastic place to stay–wedding, honeymoon, anniversary or just for a night!!

P.S.  Needless to say, I was not surprised when the resort was voted the “Best Caribbean Resort” by Conde Nast, 3 years in a row!!!

Cayman Islands Real Wedding :: Kim and Kenyetta

Welcome to 2011!!  We hope you had a great time ringing in the new year and to start you off, we have a fantastic Cayman Islands Real Wedding for you today!  I love so much about this wedding…the blue (of course!) the gorgeous bride, the amazing venue and the emotion coming through on these fantastic photographs!!

Kim and Kenyetta were married on the Great Lawn at the Ritz Carlton, Grand Cayman with a gorgeous poolside reception to follow. 

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

Kim and Kenyetta ::  We travel extensively for business and leisure so we had many options to consider. In order to narrow down our options, we agreed that the Ritz-Carlton would be our choice for a hotel and researched their Caribbean properties. Upon seeing the pictures of the Great Lawn online and visiting the island for a personal tour of the Ritz-Carlton, we knew that this would be the destination for our wedding.

Crystal Blue ::  What was the design inspiration for your day?

Kim and Kenyetta ::  Well, one of our favorite colors is blue and although we were in the Cayman Islands, we wanted winter represented so we came up with a “Blue Ice” theme.  Our favorite design element from the day was the organza draping of the gazebo on the Great Lawn.

Crystal Blue ::  Did you plan any excursions for your guests?

Kim and Kenyetta ::  We arranged for a private boat trip to Stingray city and 2 snorkeling stops, however, due to the weather, we had to modify the itinerary to just include a trip to Stingray City and a stop over at Kaibo for lunch.
