Live long and prosper

There is something about me that I do not let too many people know - I love Star Trek Voyager. Yes, I am a big geek when it comes to these series. And since I am a big admirer of couples, who are not afraid to show who they really are on their Wedding Day, I really admire Kristen and Brandon. They were so adorable the moment I met them: Kristen was so involved into every detail of the planning, making sure even the smallest things were well taken care of. She was a perfect Bride who was so looking forward to her Wedding Day and for it all to come together. Brandon, on the other hand, as great Groom as he was, stayed in the background, always supporting Kristen and making sure that she had everything done the way she wanted. I almost forgot about Brandon until his Wedding Day...

And there he was - out of his t-shirt and shorts, all groomed and wearing a nice tuxedo. But what amazed me the most - he was surrounded by his friends and they were all relaxed and just enjoying the day and this unique experience. But the biggest surprise was still to come... at the Ceremony. What they did, those friends of Brandon's, they made the Ceremony unforgettable, by adding a "very special touch" - drawing Star Wars Swords and saluting the Bride and Groom as they made the exit. I still get shivers thinking about that moment... In years to come, Kristen and Brandon will show this ceremony picture to their children, they, in turn, will show it to theirs and it will become an immortal moment of Kristen's and Brandon's lives. To which I say: "Live long and Prosper"!

Dance Forever

"It's like I waited my whole life for this one night
It's got to be me, you on the dance floor
Cause we only got once night
Double your pleasure, double your fun
And dance forever, forever, forever"
Chris Brown, Forever

This is the song that I always think of when I remember Aranica and Eddie's Wedding. They were two incredible young people, so beautiful, so fun and so... crazy! Theirs was the best Bride and Groom dance that I have ever seen throughout my career - they really expressed who they are, what they were all about and what they love to do. And those two love having great time. And it helped that the entire Bridal Party was not too far behind - their introductions were fitted for a great music video - each one of them made a really Grand Entrance. It was the best party ever - everyone could not wait for the dinner to be over and just dance, dance, dance. Besides, Aranica had this gorgeous vision in her mind of how she wanted her Wedding Reception to look - we created such a luxurious and rich look to it, so it was a perfect backdrop for this night - unforgettable and so much fun.

I have a very strong belief that every Bride is unique and so is her Wedding Day. And it is the day to celebrate who you are as a couple, as the individuals and also what brought you together. No matter what theme you choose, it should be enhanced by who you are, somehow connected to the Celebration.

"Exquisite" was the first thought that came to my mind when I met Cassie. She had that "it" about herself - once you talked to her, you could not get her out of your mind easily - she left you wanting to know more, to find out what she was all about. She wanted to incorporate her favorite color - lilac - into the theme. How traditional, you would think, but it definitely was not! Cassie found a very playful, subtle and feminine way to incorporate purple into her Wedding Theme. There were obvious touches - bridesmaids' dresses, flower and cake accents, lighting in the room. But when I saw her wearing purple pumps under her beautiful wedding dress - that just took my breath away! And there were clever little details everywhere you looked, that reminded everyone of Cassie's special touch, enhanced the playfulness and elegance of her night. All evening you were left wanting to know more, to find that another hidden touch that reminded you about Cassie.
