Novo Nautical Love


When a bride gives you the liberty of planning her wedding in your full trust is just a planner's dream. Melissa wow! Where can I begin.... I feel I have a connection with my clients and the minute Melissa contacted me I just knew we were a good match and we will become the best of friends through our journey. Guess what?! My gut never fails me... She was the sweetest and most caring bride, I still can hear her laugh at times because it was the best.. :) and that's what made her so awesome the fact that she took life lightly had laughter with her. 
Melissa told me she always wanted a nautical beach wedding and something overlooking the waters. I knew just the perfect venue out here in Miami to bring her wedding vision to life... 
Through our journey we created pinterest boards and shared ideas but one day she sends me a few pictures and tells me (this is what I want) and I replied I can totally make this happen.. Melissa gave me full liberty to take her nautical vision and bring it to life. While she visioned a complete nautical wedding we had to change it a bit and incorporate a few elegant details to not make it so rustic plus she really had her heart set on a vintage feel as well. ( I had this vision on my head) and I am still in total all on how perfectly aligned it all came together. From sail boats as table numbers to paddles as the guest sign-in book, it's all about thinking outside the box. Eddie (Groom) was so hands on and actually made a few details for the wedding like the incredible cake stand which was such a statement. I am so happy that today Melissa got her dream wedding and I think more than she could of dreamt of. It was truly crafted with love. 
Simply Captivating and Captivated films documented the day and these photos will showcase the details involved. The Wedding ceremony took place at Coral Gables Congregational church which her own parents got married at and it was her mother's dream for her little girl to be married at the same church as her and her father. Followed by the Reception taking place at Double Tree Grand overlooking the Biscayne Bay. 
Todo Dulces did such an amazing job on the cake and DJ Ubi provided the sound and lighting for the evening. Complete florals and event styling, decor and linens by yours truly. Love Marquee provided by JV Designs and Stationary provided by The Invitation Stand. Sit back and enjoy after all it's Summer time now. :)

    Jessica,

    Still today a few days after 2 months married I look at the pictures and I can't help but smile :) When I got an engaged never did I think that I would be blessed along the way with someone who I can now consider and call a friend. You made my wedding all I ever dreamed it and wanted it be, well actually you went over the top and topped what I thought would have been perfect.

    I knew from the moment we met that you were the perfect one to spend a year and a half planning the one day I had longed to live. No words can ever describe how honored I am to have been able to share this experience with you. You grasped all my ideas and made them better. You were there walking every beach in Miami with me when we were planning to get married on the beach, we made countless Pinterest boards, we have met in random gas stations to hand each other things for the wedding, shared numerous text and emails, you were patient when I had to change my whole wedding to better accommodate my grandmother and not once did you hesitate or get mad instead you comforted me and promised the world, you were very understanding and still made it feel like the beach was still underneath my toes, you sat there in your home with me and let me just open up to you about all my worries even ones that had nothing to do with the wedding. I knew you were not just a wedding planner or at that moment my counselor, you had become a friend and one I can always count on and I knew you would give me the best advise you possibly could. You had patience with me the day of the wedding when my mind was completely somewhere else, you held my dress when I needed to twinkle two minutes before I had to walk down the aisle and you shared a dance with me to end the night of my dreams. I thank you for all the smiles I still get, for being the greatest friend through it all and still checking up on me every once in a while. I have met many people in my short 26 years of my life but not one person comes close to someone like you and your heart of gold.

    I love you girl!!!

Jaynie and Jeff's- Tamara & Co wedding 4-19-14

It's always an honor when one of my past students contacts me and wants me to assist and coordinate with their wedding plans. Jaynie was one of my past students at MDC while she was studying for Event Management she took my Wedding Planner course back in 2008. Throughout the years we have stayed in contact and when she reached out to me last year to coordinate her wedding, I was more than honored. Jaynie and Jeffry had a Tiffany themed wedding well (Tamara & Co.) Is what we will call it. We put together detail by detail and vendor by vendor in less than a year. We went with an all white wedding theme with bling elements and just added accents of the Tiffany blue with the stationary decor elements provided by non other than the brilliant Gretel with the Invitation Stand. The wedding took place at the beautiful Westin Diplomat and we worked closely with Ossy the amazing wedding catering manager on-site. A great vendor line up as well and each put together such an amazing affa

Xavier and Jessica- Siempre Scruggs- Villa Woodbine

Image
You can say "It all started at the Ball Park" Jessica grew up going to baseball games with her family. She was a senior in College and in the brink of graduating but came home to West Palm Beach, Florida to visit her family. You see Jessica spent a lot of time at the ball park with her brother as her brother was a ball player. No spring breaks, summer breaks or even weekends they were always at the Ball Park. So one day back in May of 2011 her friend asked her to go with her to the ball park, Jessica rolled her eyes (yet another game) but as a good friend she went that day. Little did she know her life was about to change... By the Grace of God and good old social media, she and Xavier connected and the rest is History from there. Xavier Scruggs is now a Major League Baseball player whom has played for the St. Louis Cardinals and recently his talents were brought to the Miami Marlins. Jessica Scruggs is a National director in sales so both have fast pace careers. The

Marilyn & Rob's Wedding

I have to admit Marilyn and I hit it off the second she came to see me to assist her with her wedding plans. Throughout her planning process we built a bond and an everlasting friendship. She is an amazing and kindhearted person and I am so happy she met a man like Rob to share all her good qualities . Marilyn & Robert exchanged wedding vows at Plymouth Congregation Church in Coconut Grove, Fl. Marilyn's wedding dress was simply the most amazing and different Mermaid style dress, I have ever seen. It was very modern and chic and fit Marilyn perfect. The bushing bride arrives to Plymouth to meet Robert at the altar. The very talented Trevor Goldsmith capture this beautiful picture of Marilyn and all her bridesmaid's walking inside the church. Trevor is a master in Modern and sophisticated photography. http://www.trevorgoldsmith.com/ The Reception was held at Rusty Pelican and if there is one thing I love about Rusty Pelican is the spectacular view. Very simply, modern and
