Everything she wanted - at El Dorado

BRIDE & GROOM: Susan & Duke WEDDING DATE: May 30, 2009 WEDDING LOCATION: Private Villa, El Dorado Beach & Golf Club GUEST COUNT: 30 guests Susan & Duke are a very special couple and wanted to get married at their home in Cabo. I stepped in to help design their event & it truly turned into a dream come true. Their villa is gorgeous and was the perfect setting. We brought in some rentals to change the decor a bit as this helps your home to accomodate more guests than you might normally entertain at home. Susan's bouquet (and all of her gorgeous flowers) were supplied by my dear friends, Francince & Donna, at Cabo Flowers . It included imported ivory cala lilies, green hydrangea, jade and ivory roses, white lysianthus and Belles of Ireland for the greenery.

BRIDE & GROOM: Brenda & Girish WEDDING DATE: Oct. 10, 2009 WEDDING LOCATION: Sheraton Hacienda del Mar GUEST COUNT: 188 guests I first met this couple over a year and a half ago.

(Guests came from India, the Mexican mainland, Europe and the US.) And they celebrated it in style...in fact, this wedding was featured in a November feature in In Touch magazine in an article appropriately titled, " I Want To Have A Wedding Like A Celebrity ."

'08 Recap: 22 Amazing Weddings (Pt 1)

Image
22 weddings! I can't believe I had the pleasure of working with so many wonderful brides, grooms, and families last year...truly a historic year for me as I produced some of the loveliest weddings of my career. I loved having the opportunity to plan with and share in these couples' most intimate and romantic moments as they exchanged their wedding vows. Please take a "walk" through 2008 with me (this is Part 1)...as we look at some of the photos and reminisce about these fairy-tale beach weddings...where my brides were all princesses, my grooms were all knights in shining armor (or flip-flops!), and the couples continue to live happily ever after. Note: These are not in chronological order.
