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. As peonies are very difficult to get in Cabo, these flowers together produce a "peony" look that Susan loved. A grass wedding overlooking the beach is sometimes the perfect alternative to an act...

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.)

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 ...

I raved about this wedding in an earlier blog, just after I returned from coordinating Heather & Alan's wedding. Now, I have received the photos, and I am so excited to share them! (It takes about 3 weeks to receive the photos from the photographer, Manuel Burgoin , and they look incredible.) Meet Heather, the bride...she is truly model material and she had a special glow about her that day. And here is Alan, her true love: Together, they are a magical match made in heaven. (I know, cliche, but true!) Heather did her pre-ceremony photography at her father's home in Cabo The bridesmaids & bride processed down a very long rock staircase that was spectacular, lending itself to these gorgeous pictures. Heather & Alan's ceremony was officiated by Heather's step-dad, which is a great way to have a very intimate, funny & special ceremony. Who else knows you both better, and can truly share what your love is about, than someone in your family? The reception was...
