Leslie Armendariz Melwani, ESQ =) getting ready for the big day! Isn't she stunning?
The beautiful Bride and her bridesmaids before the wedding.
Check out these stylish Christian Louboutin's... Aren't they Gorgeous? They walked all the way down the aisle and even danced the night away lol.
JUST MARRIED!!!!!!!!!!!
Our florist did an amazing job! They created this stunning place card table for the sky bridge of the Four Seasons. The place cards were placed on tiny silver elephants- In the Indian Culture, (the Groom is of Indian descent) these giant, gentle animals bring good luck which the couple wanted to grant each of their guests with. Once dinner started, the table transformed into the take-home favor table... look below for the unique gifts given out.
Guests enjoyable delectable passed hors d'oeuvres and authentic Cuban and Indian stations at the cocktail hour. The presentation was beyond amazing and the taste... yummy... outstanding!
The ballroom looked amazing! Leslie and Aabad wanted their guests to be wowed again and again throughout the night- I am very elated to report that we surpassed that expectation. As the guests walked into the ballroom, tiny stars and abstrace patterns floated throughout the ceiling. We attained this by using moving heads located at the back of the room. Fuchsia flushed the walls of this grand ballroom. Most of the decor was white so using the bright color as guests walked in added to the impact of beauty of the room.
Three styles of centrepieces were utilized in the room for texture and movement on each table. The flowers consisted of exotic phelonopsis, dendrobium, and cymbidium orchids, hyrangeas, and white and off-white roses. Each table was dressed in white satin tablecloths and topped with elegant, beaded overlays. Mahogany chiavari chairs and white cushions finished the clean, romantic look of the tables. Each guest table was pin spotted from the perimeter of the room making each centerpiece shine!
Two of the centrepiece styles were glammed up with crystals. From each of the glass cylinders hung stands of hand-strung crystals. One by one, four thousand crystals were strung for these beautiful centerpieces. It took the florist a month just to prepare all of the strands... great job guys! 
Leslie and Aabad sat with their bridal party in royal style. Two over-sized arrangements sat on each side of the table and was complimented with smaller arrangements throughout the center and on the corners. Over four dozen candles were used on this table to enhance the feeling of romance. 
A 24 foot pipe and drape design was placed behind the stage. Each time the room changed colors, the backdrop would change to a different, contrasting color. When the band would play, the lights would change to various colors, each of which was picked by Leslie and Aabad and programmed on site. It was a small detail, but everyone noticed and thought it was a unique touch.
On each place setting, a blossom of Queen Ann's Lace was set in a mini votive holder. At the bottom of each holder sat mini crystals for a stylish touch. The guests were able to take them home as memory of the wedding.
When Leslie and Aabad saw the room for the first time, they were in awe! Aabad had no idea what the fuss of flower colors, styles of linens, and intelligent lighting was all about. He soon saw that all of the planning was well worth it; It was the wedding of the their Dreams. When the newlyweds met on the dance floor for their first dance as husband and wife, the entire room slowly changed to amber. "Wow" is what you heard their guests whisper to each other. It was such an amazing feeling to hear that reaction. 
As the guests were eating their main entree, the entire room change to a deep blue. Three sets of Latin dancers performed an amazing routine center stage. The high energy performance got the crowd excited to get out on the dance floor and party! As soon as they were finished, the band kicked off their first of three dance sets! The lighting around the room changed with with thee beats of the music. This element gave the room a night club feeling and further enhanced the mood of PARTY on the dance floor. The let Party Begin! 
Everybody knows I love cake, well so did this couple! I love this design. It was so simple yet stunning! The Swarovski crystal broaches added the perfect touch to the design. From what I hear, it tasted just as good as it looked... 
Anyone up for a mid-night snack? Stations of Mini sliders and french fries in white paper cones were placed in the foyer along with freshly made churros with raspberry, chocolate, and dulce de leche sauces.... delicious!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I have to confess, I sneaked into the kitchen and asked the chef for a small piece... it's one of my favorite desserts... Shh... don't tell anyone lol.
We thought of everything; even giving the guests a mini espresso maker for cafe con leche in the morning. =)
As guests were leaving, they each picked up a mini cafetera. This was such a cute idea! The bride's mom purchased over 100 mini one shot coffee makers, tied a beautiful satin and organza ribbon around it and added a tiny pouchette with chocolate covered coffee beans. We had a celebrity pass by the sky bridge and compliment the table and the unique idea for the favors. She had never seen something so cute and creative.... I must agree.
La Hora Loca! Jessie and I prepared all of the hats, feather boas, maracas, crowns, etc. and took them out to the middle of the crowded dance floor. Before we knew it, the baskets of goodies was empty! The guests chose each of their props and went crazy on the dance floor- shortly after... CONFETTI! The shots of confetti from the cannons behind the stage shot at the perfect moment, as the bride and groom were in the center of the dance floor and everyone was around them... spectacular detail... and the crowd went wild!
"You Got it Dude!" Isn't the father of the bride the cutest?
