Congratulations to Evan and Steve!

As a Wedding Planner, you dream of the perfect bride. One who you just click with, who knows what she wants, isn't stopping until she gets it and is just all around a cool chick. THAT would be Evan. We started working on their wedding at Emerald Greens Golf Resort and Country Club back in early 2010 and it was an honor to be there on March 5th, 2011 to celebrate it with them. Thank you to ThaiRific Orchids for providing the beautiful floral for the day, First Class Chair Rentals for providing the Chivaris, Alessi Bakery for providing the delicious cake, Custom Linens for the stunning table overlays, DJ Mike Mellow for keeping the party rocking, Cathy at Coldstone for always bringing the BEST of her ice cream to any event she caters and to Tim Capp for capturing the images.

Love you Evan and Steve!!!






















Until Next Time!

Cielo Celebrations and Team wins Design Lab Challenge at Biz Bash 2011

Last week I was so lucky to first, be invited to Biz Bash at the Ft. Lauderdale Convention Center by wonderful Wedding Planner and friend, Tammy Waterman but second, I was lucky enough, with a team of amazing wedding professional to not only attend the Design Lab but win it.

The event, hosted by Donald Braun Events, was the first of its kind at Biz Bash. He pull off SUCH an amazing event and he should be so proud. To begin we experienced Donald and his team showing us how they transform plain spaces into incredible works of art. We were then treated to demonstrations from Panache as well as in floral design. After pairing off into teams we were then surprised with the table theme that we would have to execute. Thankfully we happened to get one of my favorites, Las Vegas, to design around. After this the magic happened! They opened the wall and it was a planner and designer's playground! We had some of the most beautiful linens, chairs, chargers, vases, floral and other decor items to play with. We had one hour to execute our team's vision and below is what we came up with, using charger plates that looked like poker chips, feathers to tie in the showgirl feel and lots of bling...Vegas wins the Design Challenge! :)

A special thank you to Rebecca and Michael with Limelight Photography for capturing all the cool and funky images!






















Until Next Time!

Engagement Photos CAN be cool!

I have done weddings for quite a while now and for some reason I think the art of having a good time during your engagement shoot is getting lost in most of the sessions I see. I love it (and most photographers love it too) when couples come to us and want to do something completely out of the box.

You can imagine I was COMPLETELY over the moon while during a planning discussion with Debe, she mentioned that she would love to surprise Owen by doing part of their engagement shoot at Raymond James Stadium, home of my beloved (and Owen's) Tampa Bay Buccaneers!

Right away I got on the phone with some contacts over at the Stadium and they were pretty accomodating with our request. The engagement shoot date was set and we were all SO excited!

We got to run around a majority of Raymond James like the huge fans that we are...although it looks a bit different in the off season...we still had a blast! The always phenomial Tim Capp of Timothy Capp Photography took the awesome shots. I am being nice and leaving myself out of this blog but rest asured this fan did get her photo on the field and on the Pirate Ship!

After our time was up, everyone headed over to the always reliable Y'Bor City to take a few more cool and totally funky photos.

Thanks to Debe and Owen for always being fun to go out and play with! I can't wait til the wedding!!!
