It's a Nice Day for a WHITE Wedding...
And it was a WHITE wedding in more than one way. I invite you to enjoy some pictures from Mr. and Mrs. Devin and Carolina White's Wedding. I had a blast planning with the wedding with my two brides, Caro and her Mom Ana. From the moment I met them, Ana had a bigger wedding binder than any mother of bride in the history of my career and she was right on with everything Caro wanted for her wedding. Caro and Devin are extremely busy with work so mom acted as the project manager alongside with me. We had such a good time- many, many many laughs. Enjoy the pictures- thank you to Miguel Irias from www.miguelirias.com for great shots!
Meet the Blushing Bride Carolina Pelleya-White (In a custom off-white gown)
And the Groom, Devin White (in an off-white dinner jacket)
Caro is texting her hubby to be while she and her bridesmaids and Matron of Honor, Mom are getting ready. Ana, right behind Caro is making a funny face and it was all caught by Miguel. Hilarious! Not to mention, they are both wearing White Robes... are you starting to see a trend yet? lol
The ceremony took place at the gorgeous and one and only Epiphany Catholic Church in Miami. What a beautiful church!
Ana walking her daughter down the Aisle. The look more like sisters than mother and daughter. =)
The moment they have been waiting for all of their lives- Finally Married!
The theme of this wedding was gardenesque, whispie, and utterly etherial. Over 500 white butterflies hung over the dance floor and created a stunning centerpiece for the entire room. We pinned this masterpiece from every angle n the room with a light lilac color lighting to make sure it wood out no matter what color change we would do throughout the evening.
By using various table sizes in the layout, we were able to create a formal cocktail style reception. Tables of 4,8,10, and 12 guests were strategically placed around the room to give the feeling of an intimate affair but with the premium on socializing and a true PARTY! Cro and Devin wanted the party to start immediately when the guests walked into the ballroom- they did not like the feeling of "dinner-music" of a "formal dinner structure". There were tons of delicious stations that the guests visited throughout the entire evening. Some danced right right away and others took the time to munch on some gourmet specialties that the Master Chef at Ritz Carlton created for the couple.
Each centerpeice was differnt; all having the same, garden loose feel and incorporating silver in the bowls and julep cups. White Chiavari chairs with white crinkled satin cushions complimented the white silk linens on each table. Ticked into each napkin (double sided with two white fabrics) was a custom made menu in pistachio green and a tiny nest with jordan almonds sat on top for the continued essence of being in a garden.
White White White for White's Wedding =)
As guests entered the room, we used a blush-pink lighting. On four chandeliers of the room hung 24 paper lanterns in various shapes with tiny LEDs inside of each of them.
As I do for each of my couples, I walked the bride and groom (an in the case my co-planner Mom) into the ballroom with nobody in the room to get a look at everything before their guests do. They were all beyond thrilled! I was more than they had ever dreamed it would be- =).
Caro and Devin took a couple of moments to look at all of the details and even danced privately with no one around. Well nobody other than 20 or so wedding-team members lol.
As the bride and groom went to enjoy their own private cocktail, the band played a favorite latin tune and the guests entered the ballroom. It is one of my favorite parts- to hear the guests' comments as they walk into a gorgeous ballroom.
After about two an a half hours or so of dancing, eating, and partying the night away, the room slowly changed to a deep blue giving the sense of romance.
The center of the room was washed with a light lilac so even in the darkest of our color codes, it stood out! We started with a blush-pink, changes to deep amber for their first dance, and then changed back to bush-pink. Once the dinner was on it's way and guests were busy at the food stations and dancing, we changed the lighting in the room to deep plum. Then the room changed to this deep blue once the evening was in it's prime.
Some Advice: When using intelligent lighting and planning on color changes throughout the evening, gradually build up the mood of the event. even if blue is not in your spectrum of color themes, I would strongly suggest you gradually change from color to color and using blue an impact color (towards the prime of the event). Blue makes any decor looks more rich and grande. When doing deep/saturated color changes, pin spots are a necessity.
Caro and Devin entered to Billy Joel's "White Wedding"' and the crowd went nuts! Here they are during their first dance as husband and wife.
A floral inspired White Cake for the White's White Wedding
This has to be one of my favorite images from this wedding. We designed the most romantic setting for the newlyweds to sit at during their reception. Caro and Devin's table was a 6ft rectangle and they sat at their own romantic couch. "S" shaped lounge areas were placed on each side of the diamond-shaped dance floor.
As you can see, the room was constantly social, just the we planned it to be.
La Hora Loca and What A Crazy Hour It Was!
The Chomp! The Ritz designed a great Ice Sculpture inspired by where the Bride and Groom met, The Swamp. Go Gators!
The Entrance table was beautifully designed with moss, White birdcages, moss balls, and tons of candles. During dinner, mini bottles of Nicholas Feuillatte Rose Champagne. It was the main favor for each couple. They could keep it and open it to toast with the White's on their First Anniversary!
Congratulations to Caro, Devin, and their families. It was a true pleasure working alongside you planning the ultimate wedding of your dreams. Mom, we made a great team! I am waiting for our coffee date.
Good Night!
Wedding Team: Jackie Farah Fernandez Wedding Coordinator. Jessica Vega and Alisha Molina Wedding Day Execution managers for Jackie Ohh... Events. Venues: Church of Epiphany and The Ritz Carlotn Coconut Grove. A special thanks to Jeysa Plena and all of the staff and chefs at the Ritz. Photography: Miguel Irias. Thank you all! It was a very memorable evening. Until the next one!
