The first time I ever chatted with this darling bride, I was so nervous. I had never had another wedding planner consider me for their wedding day and I knew if I got this job, it would be the ultimate compliment! Needless to say, I got the job and I am so glad I did. Not only was it a huge compliment, but this couple was a dream to work with. The bride's vision for this wedding was so much fun. The overall look was a blend of burgundies, ivory, lush greenery and gold pineapples. I had the pleasure of designing the florals and they turned out to be some of my all time favorites. The ceremony took place on Secret Island which the guests accessed by a private catamaran ride. Dinner began with a gorgeous cheese board at each table. The brides father hand crafted each cutting board which were later gifted to the wedding party. After dinner, guests danced the night away only to take momentary breaks for the gelato that was served instead of wedding cake. My only regret with this wedding is that I didn't get to work with this couple longer!

Over the years, I have been very lucky to have made many new friends out of my clients. This bride surpassed that. I would go so far as to say she is like a sister to me! From the very beginning I know that she and I had so much in common! This made the design process so much fun. There is nothing better than a client who loves all your design ideas. For this wedding, we went to town with the rustic wood, romantic bohemian flowers, amazing and beautiful food and tons of gold accents to honor the couple's new last name "Golden." Not only was the bride a pleasure, but the groom, both sides of the family and all their friends were the most fun loving and appreciative guests. Checking this wedding off the list was so bitter sweet!
