During Sheila and Bill’s few trips to Miami, we had the best time together! Her mom and sister would always join us for our days of venue scouting, vendor meetings and dress shopping. Our days were long with back to back appointments but lots of fun and laughter along the way. Bill had very few requests and one was to hold the ceremony and reception at the W on Fort Lauderdale Beach. He has a special connection with the W since he installed the projectors situated in the lobby area.
Their ceremony and reception turned out amazing. The ceremony had the ocean as an amazing backdrop. A simple Huppah was used to maintain an un-obstructed view and tall cylinders filled with ocean blue colored water and floating candles to complement the clean and modern area.
For the reception we brought in a more bold color palette, to complement the modern colors of the ballroom and the amazing silver chandeliers. The linens were Chocolate Peau de Soie and the overlays custom made with a delicate but modern baby blue stitching. To add a different element we used clear chivari chairs with baby blue Shantung Cushions and napkins to tie it all together. The florals were all kept in white for a classic and elegant touch. Blue uplighting was the icing on the cake and really was the finishing touch to our modern soiree!
There were so many special elements to this evening, that it's hard just to share just one. Early on when meeting Sheila she told me that her father was such an amazing person, provider, father & husband that when dating she would scrutinize everyone to those standards. During her dance with her father, we teared just thinking of how much they loved each other and how very special this day was for all of them. Sheila's twin sister was her Maid of Honor and made such a heartfelt and wonderful speech. To our total surprise, their quite little sister Michelle also decided to suprise them with a lenghtly but funny and sentimental speech of how life was growing up in their house. The funny thing is there was not a dry eye in the house but at the same time everyone was laughing as well.
Bill & Sheila, we loved every minute we spent together planning your wedding! Our Best Wishes for a lifetime of happiness, success & much love! xoxoxoxoxo
