Bridal Dress: I chose a Sottero & Midgley dress, Adorae. I loved the glam look but also loved it for a beach wedding. Grooms Attire: He chose a custom tailored linen suit from Kiran Fashions in CT. Bridal Party: Bridesmaids wore an Impressions Dress ---- Groomsmen wore Striped Shirts from Express, Calvin Klein white linen pants, and Kenneth Cole white leather slip on shoes. (These were purchased by us and was there gift)

A friend added our names inside my purse. What a nice touch! The bracelet I ended up purchasing at TJ Maxx. Earrings I purchased through Wona Trading in NYC. My earrings I wore for reception and ceremony. Purchased through Wona Trading Inc. Bracelets I purchased for my BM’s Wona Trading Inc. Purchased these earrings and bracelets for my BM’s as a gift

I purchased the basket from Michaels. I placed the pashmina favors in the basket. I added an oval sticker monogram with a ribbon. These were great gifts because it is breezy at night by the water. This was a HIT at the wedding! I purchased 4 orange and 1 hot pink parasols that were used to decorate the ceremony. The colored sheer fabric for the arch was rented from Deco Cancun. I purchased several different sizes of real and fake starfish and spray painted them the colors of our wedding. These were used to decorate the runner at ceremony as well as the guest book table, wedding cake table, & guest’s tables. to be continued...

Our centerpieces provided by Dreams Riviera Cancun. I purchased my shoes at Kate Spade outlet. I removed the bow. I searched for these starfish brooches in NYC at a wholesale store but you can purchase them online. I thought it was a great touch! Loved my shoes!! I also added rhinestones to each of the bouquets. I purchased these at Wona Trading in NYC as well! We purchased this picture frame that was used for our sand ceremony from linen & things. I had my husband caulk it so the sand wouldn’t leak out. We bought sand online from Joanne Fabrics. This is perfect because we have it in our living room and it looks great to be continued....

I made our table card holders; I used a different picture for each table. I purchased the frames from Marshalls. I loved the bling and they were perfect addition to the tables: . These lanterns were rented from Deco Cancun for a reasonable price. To be continued...

*our white party and rehearsal dinner We had our rehearsal quickly on the beach the night before our wedding ---- ----what Portofinos's Restaurant Looked like!! ----

He was absolutely FANTASTIC!!! Here is his review: We flew Nick Carter to Mexico to capture our wedding that took place on November 11th at Dreams Riviera Cancun. He and his partner Joy Moyler were AMAZING! They arrived the day before the wedding to capture our rehearsal dinner and our Welcome White Party. They both were professional and punctual. We couldn’t have asked for a better team to capture our wedding weekend. We were happy that they both shared the same artistic vision. They have a great eye for fun, creative pictures. They did everything we asked and more. They made suggestions that we wouldn't have thought of and went above and beyond their contract for the love of photography. Our wedding pictures are absolutely STUNNING! Two days after our wedding we also took part in a TRASH THE DRESS SHOOT with a second dress I brought to Mexico! The pictures they captured are OUTSTANDING. One of the pictures could very well be used for the cover of romance novel. He is such a talented photographer! Within two weeks we were able to see our pictures on his Featured Wedding Section on his website. I visited his studio 3 weeks after returning from Mexico and was able to view every picture that Nick and Joy took. We are in the process of picking our pictures for our wedding album. Nick is so much fun to work with and if you choose him you will not be disappointed!!!!!! Happy Planning!!
