Sheraton Sweeties: Nicole & Scott



"Thanks so much!
I cannot even begin to tell you how much we enjoyed Saturday - it was PERFECT! Thank you again for your amazing-ness!!!"


-Nicole (bride)







BRIDE & GROOM: Nicole & Scott
WEDDING DATE: January 3, 2009
LOCATION: Beach Ceremony at the Sheraton's Tortuga Beach & Reception at the Sheraton's Palapa Fiesta
GUEST COUNT: 35 guests

Nicole & Scott have been sweethearts since high school and their love for each other really showed in their special ceremony and fun reception. Nicole wanted to keep everything beachy & bright, and her choice of navy & yellow really showed that. The sunflowers were a hit! And they are a hardy & affordable flower, even in Cabo. The couple and most of the guests were from Texas, and Texans are truly a friendly and happy group of people.

VENDOR HIGHLIGHTS:

Sheraton's Bonfire: Nicole & Scott continued their party after dinner by inviting all of their guests back down to the Tortuga Beach for a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to have a post-wedding bonfire. With an IPOD playing some great party music as the guests lounged on the sand and in beach lounge chairs, the flames kept everyone warm and happy. The Sheraton does a great job of setting this up "on the sly" so that your guests are truly surprised when you invite them down to the beach to continue celebrating.

Sparklers: Imagine standing on the beach, as your guests form a "tunnel of sparklers." That's what Nicole & Scott did, and then they exited through this tunnel and left for their honeymoon stay at Las Ventanas. These wedding sparklers are not the old sparklers you remember as a kid on the 4th of July. These are custom built sparklers (made by our fireworks guys) that are extra-long and last for about 5 minutes, providing a mini-fireworks display. When you're done with them, you put them out in the sand. A great inexpensive way to add MEMORIES to your wedding day.

BRIDE & GROOM: Paulina & Mike WEDDING DATE: Sat, April 17, 2010 LOCATION: Rehearsal Dinner: Private Villa, Wedding & Reception: El Dorado Beach & Golf Club NUMBER OF GUESTS: 68 Back Story: I met Paulina's mom, Rocio, in the midst of coordinating an earlier El Dorado wedding (see previous blog for Heather & Alan's wedding.) She saw how beautiful Heather & Alan's wedding was and said, "I know my daughter, Paulina, wants her wedding to be here too." From that moment on, Rocio & I hit it off, and her daughter, Paulina, the bride, was just as beautiful and gracious as her mother. We had a great year together planning Paulina & Mike's wedding. (I also did Rocio's wedding on El Dorado's yacht, El Discovery, soon after we met...but that is another story...and another blog...) The Ceremony Decor: Paulina had a great sense of color and knew she wanted to include a chandelier in her ceremony decor. I drove this chandelier down the
