The Ballroom at Church Street New Year’s Eve wedding

admin — Wed, 04 Jan 2012 22:14:47 +0000

Another year closes and lucky for Michelle and Patrick who chose to have their wedding on New Year’s Eve. This wedding might be one of my favorites this year! Michelle looks stunning in her Maggie Sottero gown and the decor at The Ballroom at Church Street is absolutely gorgeous. Caroline Johnson did a great job of capturing some beautiful images!

Heather planned for some traditional things for a NYE party including 100 hats, noise makers, and champagne.

The couple decided to get married on New Years Eve and before the clock struck midnight Michelle changed into a super cute short dress as everybody danced and watched the ball drop on a projection screen with a toast.

One of my favorite things was asking everyone to write down 3 resolutions for the new year and seal in an envelope to open the following year. As I made my list of New Years Goals, I decided to make some for this blog:

Jacksonville, FL Wedding at The Club Continental

We had so much fun planning for Laura and Eddie’s special day on the 10th of December, 2011. They were married in the historic old church at St. Joseph’s, Jacksonville’s oldest Catholic church. Their Reception at The Club Continental was absolutely transformed by the amazing details and decor, from the blue up lighting and outdoor hookah lounges to the display of lanterns by the dance floor. We’d like to give a special thanks to Suhaag Garden, A Glamour Bride by Faythe, 5 Thirteen Designs, Resort Talent, PRI Productions, Choux Designer Cakes, and Agnes Lopez Photography for capturing these perfect pictures!

What a stunning wedding, congratulations to Stephanie & John! Their special day began with a traditional Ceremony at Knowles Chapel with elegant music provided by A Beautiful Music.

We love a themed wedding, especially when it’s for such an amazing couple. Congratulations Candace & Ivi! This couple really wanted to showcase their special city, Manhattan. The city they live in, met in and fell in love in. Heather recreated their beloved city right here in Orlando, at our very own beautiful Waldorf Astoria. Special thanks to Greenery Productions for providing amazing outdoor ceremony and reception decor, which embodied the couple’s clean, modern style. The Central Park backdrop was a perfect addition to the reception, which was paired with dramatic lighting provided by American AV. A big thanks to our other vendors Harpist Christine MacPhail, A Chair Affair, Pure Magic Ice, LeJeaune Hair & Make up Artistry, Shanna Michele Designs, and Shipra PanosianPhotography for the stunning photographs!

Real Wedding – Portofino Bay Hotel

admin — Tue, 27 Sep 2011 14:53:51 +0000

The romantic surroundings of Lowe’s Portofino Bay made for a traditional and sophisticated ceremony and reception. Glamorous personal touches like jewel framed escort cards and hanging crystals on their centerpieces helped to make their day unique and exquisite. Linda was able to provide a new detail around every corner, ending with a grand finale tossing colorful rose petals into the air. American Audio Visual created a custom gobo that carried their motto “Today I Marry The One” which glowed on the dance floor where DJ Carl Entertainment worked his magic. Bright pink uplighting to the Venetian Ballroom accented what seemed like a million flowers in the centerpieces provided by Greenery Productions…truly amazing. Special thanks to Bonnie Garfield and the team at Portofino Bay for helping make this day fabulous. As well as Castaldo Studio for capturing every picture-perfect moment.

The Ritz-Carlton Naples was a perfect spot for such a sweet couple. Nadia looked stunning walking into the banquet reception infused with soft corals and yellows.

The charming floral centerpieces, arranged by Botanica, provided the room with the same sweet charm as the couple themselves.
