But gorgeous strung together vertically in small groupings...

Thanksgiving Weddings

I have 9 ::NINE:: brides saying "I DO" this week in the Caribbean & Mexico. While it's been a harried few weeks ironing out last minute details, confirming rooming lists with the hotels, checking for flight delays (yes, there were many)... but all in all, I wouldn't want to spend my time any other way. Helping couples come together and start their lives as a family of 2 is food for my soul as I end every day thankful for my own little family of 4.

Thanksgiving is a popular time for Destination Weddings likely because people have a few days off of school and work to travel. With the holiday season being the top time for engagements, you too might find yourself considering a Thanksgiving Wedding! If so, I'd love to help.

{HAPPY THANKSGIVING TO YOU & YOURS}

A Seashell Inspired Wedding

This is a great Seashell themed wedding! It took place in Hawaii, but many of the great beach ideas would be perfect for any tropical Destination Wedding. I love the bride's swept-up hair style, elegant aisle made of white rose petals, and the simple "Mr. & Mrs" nameplates on the back of the reception chairs. Enjoy!

The End.
