Happy 2nd Anniversary Christine & Shawn!

It was a beautiful Fall day in SWFL as Christine & Shawn, surrounded by friends and family, pledged their love to each other. The details included a beautiful cupcake display, my favorite blueberry crinkle linens and the elegance of the Ritz at Tiburon! Congratulations! Photography by Peggy Farren at Avante-Garde Images.

Jennifer & Evan are married!

I had the pleasure of coordinating Jennifer & Evan's wedding on April 30th at the Naples Bay Resort. My couple live in NJ but chose Naples for their destination wedding with 40 of the closest friends and family! We held a sweet Jewish wedding on the beach at 18th Avenue with Rabbi Barras. The guests were treated to a trip to the beach by Naples Tours & Transportation complete with champagne! Upon their arrival back at Naples Bay Resort, we held a cocktail reception outdoors around the pool at the Yacht club and then we moved inside for a wonderful dinner and dancing. Everyone had such a great time and they danced the night away to DJ Cesar. The girls at Lyfe of the Party provided beautiful and elegant floral design and Gracie's Cupcakes made a "splash" for dessert. We added beautiful linens from Connie Duglin Linens to add sparkle to the room. My friend and awesome photog, Stephen DeVries flew down from Birmingham to shoot the wedding. I can't wait to see the pictures. Lynn and the staff at the yacht club were excellent to work with and my NJ couple spent their first few days as husband and wife enjoying the sun and surf in Naples!

Christine & Shawn at Tiburon with Cupcakes!

Saturday, November 7, 2009 - it was a busy wedding day all over SWFL. I was at the Golf Club at Tiburon with my dear friends Christine & Shawn.

It was such a beautiful day and everything went so well. The day after the wedding, Christine posted on Facebook that she has a "permanent smile" on her face! She is so fun and so sweet (so is her husband) - we all stayed at the Ritz at Tiburon and she texted me at 8:30am that she was wide awake and was in the lobby - so we met for coffee and talked about the wedding!!! What a blessing to be a wedding coordinator for such wonderful people.

My other blessing was working with dear friends and fellow wedding professionals - cuddos to Peggy Farren at Avant Garde Photography (can't wait to see the photos), Dale Kubala at Connie Duglin Linens (gorgeous Blueberry Crinkle linens), Grace Bolen at Gracie's Cupcakes (amazing - strawberry, red velvet, chocolate and carmel), Jessica & Josh at Tiburon (wonderful service), Symphonie de Fleurs did the florals and Jay Seidl did a great job with music for the ceremony and brunch.

The highlight was the cupcake display. It was so fun to work with Grace to create the display. We used the girls bouquets to fill in with flowers and glass shelves and glass blocks to create the "architecture" - so great!
