Congrats to Sherri & Bill

Sherri & Bill were married back in December on Brewer's Bay Beach. Sherri sent me over a few photos to share (love when brides do that!).

Thanks for sharing Sherri!

The hot color for 2013

I often have friends ask me "so what's the hot new things for weddings this year?" - you know, all my old married friends that are knee deep in diapers and what seems like centuries away from our wedding days! It's interesting to watch the trends over the years. When I was married, pink & green were really popular, then it was pink & orange...now its coral, coral and more coral! I got an email from Old Navy this morning with the "coral report" and instantly thought these could make inexpensive bridesmaid dresses:

A quick trip over to Pinterest and you can see board after board of coral insprirations:

Definitely check out our Pinterest pages for more ideas to "coralize" your wedding!

Hawksnest...with no deer! =)

Thank you to Awolfey Productions for sharing this video clip with us. I absolutely loved this brides dress, isn't she gorgeous?! It had just the right amount of sparkle.

Best parts of my job...

Are the unexpected surprises. We showed up to our wedding on Hawksnest Beach last Thursday morning to one extra guest (uninvited and not exactly welcomed) on the beach. Thankfully, our groom wasn't unfamiliar with deer.

This was a little extra challenging when it came to photos. You can just barely see the "guest" in this background shot during the vows.

 

Yowza! Did I really post a picture of a dead deer on a wedding blog?! Some surprises are a little less, um....morbid. This bride & groom were enjoying a loving moment during their vows:

They had brought their own iPod to play music during the ceremony and apparently forgot to take it off shuffle...so right in the middle of the vows, Marvin Gaye starts to encourage us all to "get it on".

 That's not the embarrassing part for this couple. The embarrassing part is that their three teenage and young adult children were watching. 

 We had such a good laugh! These kids were awesome by the way - this couple is definitely blessed with a beautiful family and one I'm sure they will always continue to laugh with, especially with boys like this:

Office Closed from 1/25 to 2/1

Just a heads up that our office will be closed from 1/25 to 2/1 - we will not be answering the phone or returning calls during this time but we will be responding to emails (although there may be a day or two delay in my response). In the meantime, enjoy these amazing images from Sarah and Daniels wedding at Our Lady of Perpetual Help in St. Thomas - taken by Elisha Orin:

And reception at Grande Cru in Yacht Haven Grande:

Thanks Elisha for the beautiful photos!

Tall Ship ahoy!

Coming to the Virgin Islands a little later this spring is a gorgeously restored tall ship for your wedding & reception! I'll have more details come Feb but wow, it's it pretty?!

A ruffly cake...

I have a bride getting married this March and she has requested this cake. I can't wait to see it in person, it is going to be gorgeous!! How pretty is the coral ombre??
