When this lovely couple reached out over two years ago to plan their celebration, we couldn’t have been more excited! Their vibes and vision for the day aligned perfectly in what we enjoy doing - tropical elegance. Unfortunately when we were hit with a global pandemic we had to postpone the large celebration, but instead of waiting, they chose to hire us to plan an elopement for them. Once the restrictions finally lifted enough for the couple to have the big celebration, we were able to celebrate with them a second time and here’s what the day entailed.

The setup was filled with sunshine + muted tropicals, the perfect combination. There was a cigar bar cart downstairs for the guest to enjoy, custom made hangover recovery favors and handmade angels as escort cards! The intimate ceremony was water front on the fish pond with a live musician and a special announcement - the bride was expecting! The reaction from the guests was absolutely priceless! The reception consisted of long guest tables with modern tropical compote arrangements, hanging floral chandeliers with 1000 hand folded cranes, and a drop dead gorgeous cake table. After their delicious family styled meal, the couple surprised the guest with fire knife dancers and a raging dance party in the pavilion. It was such a special day filled with surprises and thoughtful details for all the guests who very patiently waited for this much anticipated wedding celebration!
