At the Grove Isle Hotel and Spa in Coconut Grove

My mom and dad attended an amazing wedding in Miami, Florida. Although I did not plan or have anything to do with this event, I offer some highlights as inspiration to my blog followers and potential clients. We all learn from each other with shared ideas.

Check out the photo of the signs that the ring bearers carried as they walked down the aisle preceding the bride. The bride’s Korean background encouraged me to check out Korean wedding customs because I thought that perhaps the ring bearer signs are traditional in Korean weddings. Although not a Korean wedding ritual, what a cute added touch to the bride’s traditional entrance!

Featured in the photo found below is a mirror more than 4 feet tall. The guests and family names and reserved table numbers were written in pen for a seating chart on the mirror. Lanterns placed on the table illuminated the area.

With only railing and dividers separating wedding family and guests from the water, warm breezes brought the fragrance of the ocean that permeated the area where the reception was held. Check out the flower arrangements and elegant table settings that enhanced the sea-side decorated ambiance!

Multiple exotic flowers and plants grouped together make up the table centerpieces!

Twinkling candles, raffia chargers, rectangular and round tables beckoned the wedding guests and family to the reception celebrating the marriage of loved ones!

An exquisite, yet simple addition of flowing fabric added to the magical, sea-side ambiance in the wedding reception area!

With a view of a sailboat, the ocean waves gently flowing and the colors of sunset, the wedding cake display table is perfectly positioned. The wedding cake with green leaf garnish and the bride’s orchid bouquet in front is further proof of attention to every detail that the Grove Isle Hotel and Spa provided for this wedding celebration.

At the King Plow Arts Center a simple and elegant wedding honoring Chinese and Jewish traditions was celebrated!

Delicate orchids decorated the rooms for the ceremony and reception. Bold American’s decor enchanted wedding participants and guests.

The Officiant was Dr. Jon Krane, a professor at Emory and a brother-in-law. Combining Jewish and Chinese traditions gave the wedding ceremony additional cultural richness. The bride and groom exchanged vows under a traditional Jewish chuppah. A Chinese tea ceremony honoring the bride and groom’s parents was beautifully executed. A custom of witness participation with everyone in attendance signing a poster added further meaning to the beautiful wedding ceremony. Delicate orchids visible throughout the room for the ceremony as well as the reception, enhanced the exotic and warm ambiance of simplicity and elegance.

Check out the cocktail hour centerpieces. Orange and white orchids were the featured flowers of the evening.

Check out the incredible lit-up bar in the middle of the room. What an inviting atmosphere!

The place card table.

With a mix of rectangular and circular tables throughout the reception room, the tables not only looked inviting but were creatively placed for elegance and a unique celebratory atmosphere.

Various glasses of different heights filled with lit candles enhanced the beauty of the reception room!

Check out the simple but elegant wedding cake! Simplicity and elegance truly dominated this most gorgeous wedding from the ceremony until the last dance of the reception!

On the way out – Guests were invited to fill blue chinese take out containers with

South African chocolates – a perfect mixture of two countries!

Photography by Sean Randall captured memories of this

Orchid Enchanted Wedding Evening Celebration! One of my favorites below.

Imagine what beautiful pictures Sean could take at your event.

Music by DJ Joel from Lethal Rhythms encouraged everyone to get up on the dance floor and enjoy themselves.

Wedding family and guests were treated to party favors with photos from Red Eye’s Photo Booth installation.

Transportation via shuttles was provided by Metro Tour Shuttle.

On New Year’s Eve, at the Alpharetta Marriott, a wedding ceremony and celebration reception offered the bride and groom’s families and friends a chance to share in a most meaningful and beautiful wedding, as well as welcome the New Year, 2012!

The bride’s input and involvement in planning the wedding ensured that what was important to her and the groom were details incorporated into the ceremony and celebration. For the ceremony, the bride wore a gorgeous, traditional long white wedding gown. When she and the groom began their first dance of the reception, he began to remove her sash and unzip her dress. Celebrants gasped, thinking that the groom was going to undress his bride on the dance floor. But, the removal of part of the long gown revealed a short, white, gorgeous party dress! What an idea!

Check out the photo of the bride’s dress!

Check out her bouquet!

The bride and groom were married under a friend’s borrowed chuppah that had a sentimental touch!

Chair covers and ties were provided by Cover Ups.

Check out the photo of the cocktail hour and one appetizer table!

With the couple residing in the Adirondacks of New York and loving the outdoors and nature, the bride brought rocks from Adirondacks and used them as everyone’s place cards adding a personalized element to the reception.

Wedding Cairns provided another personalized touch of nature to the celebration.

A framed explanation of the traditions of Cairns garnished a table. As a Cairn is a man-made pile of stones built to commemorate an occasion, and cairns celebrate important events, memorialize lost family members, and indicate significant locations, guests were asked:

“Please take your stone to your table and stack them with others to form your own mini Cairns to mark our special day”

<span >The bride also brought sticks all the way from the Adirondacks so that their mutual love of their New York place of residence would be incorporated into their wedding celebration.

Check out the photo of the head table where the bride, groom and their close friends sat!

The ballroom was decorated for the festivities with a black, silver and white color scheme.

Check out the ceiling with the installed balloon drop stationed to fall over the dance floor exactly at midnight!

These vases held the bridesmaid bouquets adding to the elements making up the centerpieces!

White, sparkling, vanilla cupcakes were exactly what the bride wanted. They were delicious!

Chocolate truffles from the bride’s favorite place were flown in for the special occasion!

Check out the display below which is the cupcake wall!

The New Year 2012 came in perfectly for this couple!

They were married surrounded by their loving families and friends at a perfect combination of a wedding and New Year’s Eve Party!.

Hats, beads, blowers, tiaras, balloons and champagne welcomed the New Year and added to the wedding festivities.

The flowers, Balloon drop event and centerpieces were provided by Balloonacy.

Desmond Thomas, AAA DJ Services provided the music for the wedding ceremony and reception.

Guests took and received photos as wedding party favors from Red Eye Photo Booth from 8 pm until midnight.

The majority of the photos in the blog were generously offered to be used by www.laurenrosenauphotography.com who photographed the wedding.

On the the morning of the wedding, 12-31-11, the bride and groom went for a run …

Check out what is written on the back of their shirts!

The back of her shirt said “Runaway Bride” and his said “Cold Feet!”

The following is the wording on their “Wedding Run” invite:

On our wedding morning, we’ll probably be stressed,

And there is plenty of time before we need to get dressed.

So we thought we’d don our running shoes and go for a trot,

The peaceful Alpharetta Greenway is the perfect spot!

So bring your running shoes and join in the fun,

Lest the groom gets cold feet, or the bride tries to run!

Jeckil Promotionsprinted the shirts.

On a Wednesday morning during Hanukkah, family and friends gathered to celebrate the Bar Mitzvah boy’s accomplishments and the joys of life at Congregation B’nai Torah!

The caterer, Avenue K created a fire pit and a latke station for the brunch after the morning services. Guacamole, made to order, was just one of the delicious food offerings.

Hanukkah gelt, freshly made donuts, and dreidels accompanied by directions on how to play, garnished the tables. Balloonacy did the impressive balloon displays. The color scheme of lime green, electric blue and black made the room POP!

The Bar Mitzvah boy and his family and guests were entertained by singers from New York’s Shalom Orchestra, and the animated DJ from Hitz Entertainment.

Party favors included photos with a green screen by Peachtree Pictures, Over the Top Creations airbrushing hats, and caricature drawings by the artist, Mark Mandel.

The Bar Mitzvah ceremony and celebrations were immortalized with photography by Kimberly Maz.

With the Bar Mitzvah boy known to be a whiz, rubik cubes held the place cards welcoming guests to the personalized, fun, and celebratory festivities!

On the place card table, a gigantic Bar Mitzvah boy photo book offered guests an opportunity to share their sentiments as they signed in. In addition, a very large candy menorah decorated the back of the table, announcing that a “sweet” time was to be had by all!

Get Up Cup provided the delicious coffee cart offerings! If guests hadn’t woken up during the Bar Mitzvah boy’s proficient participation in services, the coffee deliciously opened everyone’s eyes!

To declare that this Bar Mitzvah festive party was creative, is an understatement!

Check out the above photo! The Bar Mitzvah boy’s mom invented table names that were so amusing and comedic. Guests sat at “1st Time In Shul,” “Never Met the Bar Mitzvah Boy,” “We Like One Spouse Better Than the Other,””Gave a Re-Gift,” and “We Are Here For the Food” named tables. Table numbers and their “original” names were placed in fresh donuts on each table.

Transportation shuttles were provided by Metro Tour Shuttle.

Alcoholic offerings for the adult guests came from The Wine Store.

With 250 people gathered at services and the brunch, the Bar Mitzvah boy’s family created a more intimate event for the evening’s party. About 100 family members and friends from out of town were invited to the Emory Conference Center for more celebrating. With a chance to bowl, a venue with a cool, modern vibe, and yummy food offerings for the partying guests, a memorable Bar Mitzvah celebration was enjoyed by all. A bowling pin was signed by the family for the Bar Mitzvah boy as a tangible reminder of the amazing day’s celebrations and his achievements.

Multiple pizza offerings and make-your-own salad satisfied the bowling party participants’ appetites!

At the Standard Club, Event Savvy created a sweet dream chocolate celebration for a girl who LOVES chocolate. Atlanta FEVER had everyone dancing the night away, what a party.

Event Savvy created a personalized logo, M, featured as decor throughout the party venue and found on the tags of the table place cards, hung on hot chocolate mugs that contained hot chocolate packets. Celebrants immediately enjoyed the chocolate theme. How yummy!

Check out this creative idea for a sign-in board for a chocolate dream theme!

The M logo was shined on the wall near the dance floor!

The small lanterns shown in the photo below were set up on the high-boy tables that framed the dance floor.

Every small detail to embellish the room in chocolate celebration was enjoyed. Check out the napkins with the matching logo and colors!

As part of a completely perfect chocolate dream celebration, a full candy bar tempted the celebrants!

Hoping your sweet tooth was satisfied with this sweet dream chocolate celebration!

A Bar Mitzvah jungle-themed celebration was catered by Chef Cary. Let’s Celebrate created an ambiance of jungle adventure with the decorations. The DJ, VIBE, provided the music for the Bar Mitzvah boy, family and friends to “jungle rock” to all night long at Temple Sinai.
