Rehearsal Dinner Details
What can I say? Jessica and Anu were a joy to work with from day 1 and I was so honored to be a part of this very important day for them! They live in NYC and decided on having a destination wedding here in sunny South Florida.
You may want to know what I mean by "it all started on a hammock"...well, that is truly where it all began...they shared their first kiss on a hammock and Anu proposed to Jessica on that same hammock. How romantic? You will see a picture below of the "cool" surprise Jessica sister's Jaynie had waiting for them aboard the yacht....a HUGE Hammock ice sculpture, personalized with their names. So sweet. Romance and love was the theme and feel of the wedding :)
Jessica and Anu dreamed of having a beach ceremony and yacht reception. Their dream and vision of their wedding became a reality. We could not have chosen a better location for both. The ceremony was held at The Trump International Beach Resort in Sunny Isles Beach, FL and the yacht was The Venetian Lady, what a fabulous hotel and gorgeous yacht! The service and staff of each was impeccable. I highly recommend them. The elements of their wedding were so unique to them as a couple in every aspect of the wedding related weekend. This is one thing I advise all my clients, make it personal TO YOU! It's YOUR DAY!
The rehearsal dinner was held at the Trump Resort the night before the wedding. The room was glowing with amber uplighting provided by Triple C Entertainment, beautiful crushed gold linens provided by the hotel, mahogany chiavari chairs provided by Hitched Event Rentals, flowers were done by J Morgan Flowers. It was a very romantic and warm atmosphere. The theme was "Places We Have Traveled To"...France, India, Orlando, Texas, were amongst some of the places (let me tell you, this couple has traveled A LOT in this last year! LOL) The couple prepared a fun questionnaire that each guest had to answer. The winner of each table won a prize specific to the table name/place they traveled to (ie. Orlando got a Disney Store gift card, France got a bottle of perfume, etc.) It was such a fun activity and the couple had a chance to walk around and interact with their guests. The "sign in book" was a vase the couple painted and personalized at Color Me Mine. The couple also painted a platter with a bride and groom on it for the reception "sign in book"
The day started out a little rainy and gloomy, but no cloud or rain drop in the sky could bring down this bride and groom! Their love and faith cleared the skies and the sun was beaming down on them as they shared their personally written vows and became husband and wife. Let me tell you, I have never met a more emotional and sentimental groom like Anu....his love and devotion to his soon to be bride was undeniable. And Jessica....it was as if she walked out of a fairytale...she was gorgeous! I was truly AMAZED by the power of LOVE. Hair and makeup was provided by Faceworks International, the girls all looked stunning! J Morgan Flowers provided the flowers/decor for the ceremony and reception. The bride wanted to have bagel bites and krispy kreme donuts (leave it up to your wedding planner to have fresh hot donuts!) Both were a hit! I had the honor of watching the couple practice their first dance and first song he night before (yes, first song, they sang to each other, "Come What May" by Nicole Kidman and Ewan McGregor). The first dance was choreographed, started slow and then became upbeat. The bride had a little wardrobe change into a shorter skirt. (Her dress was custom made). It was a phenomenal performance. Carlos Periu of Triple C Entertainment really did a great job of keeping the party alive all night! The newlyweds and their guests moved to the upper deck and were dancing underneath the stars...FABULOUS!
Cakes by Edda did a fantastic job with the beautifully embellished "fleur de lis" theme cake that matched the wedding invitations. Hitched Event Rentals provided the gold chiavari chairs. The crew of the Venetian Lady went above and beyond with their service and the food (all prepared onboard) was phenomenal! I highly recommend all of the vendors.
