This totally made me LOL. I was looking through the pictures of this wedding that I blogged about last month. There was a beautiful picture of a father & daugher...the next photo was this: 
A sister running in the background - I love the look on the younger sister's face!
Sunday morning is almost over and I'm still recovering from an absolutely amazing wedding last night. I have so much to share but figured I should post this picture before Sunday morning was officially over...more pictures to come of this incrediable day. Wanna guess how many rose petals are lining this aisle?
and I want to wear it EVERY DAY. It is not fair AT ALL that such beautiful hair accessories can only be worn ONE day out of a woman's entire lifetime. If I had this cage veil with AWESOME feather and jewel accessory, you know I would be dancing around my house late at night, rocking that piece out! That shade of green is my faaavorite color...feathers? LOVE them. Cage veil? Couldn't be cooler. But I'm guessing most of my brides wouldn't be too happy if I showed up wearing a veil to their wedding, huh? I think I need to start planning a vow renewal for myself, just to justify this purchase.
My apologies to the bride & groom...didn't mean to ramble on and on about your fab hair accessory! =) This happy couple arrived on the Carnival Freedom, had a beautiful ceremony performed by their own pastor on Magen's Bay before having lunch at The Grille Room at Mahogany Run Golf Course. Following lunch, they treated everyone to an island tour with Sunny Liston Tours. Other than that amazing hair accessory (I know, I know...I'll stop), I think my favorite element of their wedding was the post card guest book they had everyone sign. They pre-stamped and pre-addressed post cards to themselves and had everyone sign that in leiu of a traditional guestbook. We dropped them in the mail for her this morning - I'm hoping that they'll get there before they do. What a fun treat to come home to!
It caught on and on and on...
I just love this video that a client shared with me, highlighting her engagement! The happy couple sent the video out along with their Save The Date information and have a WHOPPING 100 guests coming with them on their wedding cruise. If you don't know already, 100 guests cruising with you for your wedding is IMPRESSIVE! At most, we normally have 30, no more than 40 guests when it comes to a cruise ship wedding. 100 is A LOT.
We're really looking forward to your wedding day next month - I know this crowd knows how to PARTY (the groom is a fireman and I think he's bringing his whole department with him....let's hope for no fires the first two weeks of December!!!).
Being a mom of two girls myself, I have to say my favorite element of Nicky & Danny's wedding yesterday were the two beautiful young ladies that each of them were bringing into the marriage...not sure if it was the actual girls or the AMAZING dresses they were wearing!!
Danny & Nicky cruised into St. Thomas on the Royal Caribbean's Liberty of the Seas and were married on Magen's Bay Beach before heading to Grande Cru in Yacht Haven Grande for a lunch with their newly formed family. Oh, and I forgot to mention they travelled all this was from England, just 20 minutes outside of London. That adorable English accent is definitely the 2nd most favorite element of the day! 
My favorite part of this very simple, very lovely ceremony?
Cynthia's smile.
Pure joy.
Pure love.
Pure Bliss.
We have a beautiful wedding last week at Lime Tree Beach (aka Bluebeard's Beach). As I was setting up, I was reflecting over the fact that orange has really become a very popular wedding color. When I was married about 5 years ago, the hot colors were pink and green. Now, I'm seeing a big trend for orange and pink. I can't help but think if you throw the color brown or yellow in there, it would be a total throw back to the 60s. I think my mother's wedding colors were yellow, orange and brown. That and the couch I grew up with - a nice yellow, orange and brown plaid tweed beast of a couch. But I digress...orange & pink for wedding colors = hugely popular and hugely pretty!
As you remember from Amber's post a couple of weeks ago, the iguanas are plentiful at Lime Tree Beach and as I was setting up for the wedding, I noticed no less than 8 of them surrounding me. They do not bother me, as you can not have a fear of these creatures if you live in St. Thomas - they are as inevitable as waves on the sand. But they were taking a very keen interest in my set up. It wasn't until I threw down a bundle of the orange chair ties and saw four of them rush over to investigate that I figured out why they were so eager to watch me today. Orange, red and pink are their FAVORITE colors, as they are the same colors as hibiscus flowers...their favorite foods. This little bugger was keeping guard over the chair ties and I had to shoo him away to complete the task of tying them on our chairs!
This one was getting a little inappropriate with my conch shells. 
I was finally able to finish and the set up looked superb (if I don't say so myself). 
But unlike Amber's wedding day, there was no act of sabotage by the iguanas during the ceremony! Our bride and groom were very happy and iguana-trauma free. 
Favorite Element: Orange
