Annaberg ceremony & Coral Bay reception

1Earlier this year, we were delighted to be a part of Stephanie and Adam’s wedding! They were such a wonderful couple and we wish them a happy 3 month anniversary this week!

The Annaberg Ruins was the perfect ceremony location for them…I just love the photo below that Blue Glass Photography captured of the newlyweds!

Their reception was held at Aqua Bistro in Coral Bay. Stephanie and Adam fell in love with the slow-paced feel of Coral Bay which helped them narrow down their reception location. Aqua Bistro has such a nice ambiance; it was a charming intimate location for their dinner, dancing, and celebrating for the rest of the evening. 3

I loved these last photos taken at their villa before the ceremony. Sometimes it’s nice to have a ‘first look’ before your ceremony to have a chance to capture more photos before your ceremony. These are just gorgeous…10

Congrats again to Stephanie and Adam and cheers to many years of happiness!

Congratulations to Anisa & Shane

bouquet

Anisa and Shane had a beautiful sunset ceremony earlier this month. I wanted to share a few photos that I took of some of their details. During their ceremony, they included their two adorable little girls as part of a sand ceremony which was so sweet. After they exchanged their vows at Trunk Bay they had a lovely dinner catered by St. John Catering at their villa.

Bright tropical floral arrangements from Roses Too were the perfect pop of color for the table scape. Floating candles, tea lights, and pillar candles with bling added a nice ambience to their dinner table as well.

The birdcages were a nice accent around the pool outlining the dance floor space.

It was wonderful meeting Anisa and Shane’s family and children…we hope they were able to have a relaxing honeymoon! Best wishes!

5 beautiful Weddings in 5 busy days!

Rehearsal Dinner 4-17-13 150

Our crazy week of five weddings was a smashing success! We have fully recovered from all the heavy lifting and schlepping our decor and chairs around…being a wedding coordinator isn’t as glamorous (or as easy) as many people think! About 100 chairs and a million candles later…we are thrilled for all our happy newlyweds and wish them all the best!

We will have more details and photos to come from the month of April…but I wanted you to get a little sneak peek from Kelly and Carlo’s Rehearsal Dinner Photos. Blue Glass Photography photographed throughout the week capturing their welcome party, rehearsal dinner, wedding, and beach BBQ. The photo below is so cute of Kelly and some of her girlfriends on their way to their rehearsal dinner at Da Livio’s.

We have been planning Kelly and Carlo’s big day for a year now…and we will miss them! Such a sweet couple and beautiful inside and out – it was so wonderful getting to know them and their families. Can’t wait to see photos of their wedding day…it was gorgeous!

Rehearsal Dinner 4-17-13

Stay tuned for more beautiful photos capturing all our lovely April couples!

Inspired by the romance of lace…

I have to admit…I have a slight addiction to lace. Although it is slight…it is consistent! I have loved lace for as long as I can remember, and the good news is – it is still in style and going strong! Lace is one of those elements that will always be timeless.

Use lace to add romance to your invitations…I love the blend of lace with natural elements and colors.

I love veils…especially when they have a touch of lace!  This photo below is so romantic…the added lace creates such a soft look.

I love the idea below mixing baby’s breath, burlap, and lace! It’s a great combination to capture a natural, elegant, romantic feel…pefect for a beach wedding!

bow

The photos below are a great example of how to use lace on your table. Use it as a napkin ring, runner, or bow around your candles. Lace adds such a nice subtle texture to your table…with the added detail in textures, you can keep your color pallet soft for a romantic look or add bright colors with your lace to add energy for a more festive look!

Adding lace to your cake is a great way to make it unique. I love this idea below using a colored piece of lace to make it pop against the white frosting.

If you like lace as much as I do, ISW is ready to incorporate it into your wedding details and decor! Let us know what styles you love the most by sending us photos and creating your own pinterest page for inspiration.

Happy Easter Weekend…wishing everyone a joyous weekend and a fresh start to Spring!

In honor of Spring time…I have compiled some inspirational photos from pinterest that will hopefully help inspire your next spring party or wedding! The photo above is so beautiful…I love the colorful arrangement placed in a watering pitcher – it just screams spring time in the garden!

These eggs are a beautiful way to incorporate the Easter egg tradition but with a fresh modern feel. Great idea for a creative new take on easter eggs…

I just love the table scape below…pefect for a spring time party – simply gorgeous!

What better way to add color to your table arrangements than with some jelly bellies. An easy way to customize your color pallet too as there are a million color options with jelly bellies. Food is often times a great inexpensive way to add a unique pop of color to your table scape.

Enjoy and cheers to spring time!
