Canvas Your Wedding

Besides a photographer or videographer to capture your wedding you can now contract an event painter. Special event painters are artists who capture the moment as it occurs (live). You will be able to always have on display your special day. A nice investment for a one of a kind work of art.

I was honored to attend a wedding with my husband on Saturday, March 28th at Fisher Island Club. I love seeing the visions of a bride & groom evolve into reality. Everything was beautiful.

Real Wedding: Byron and Angelique

This past Saturday at the Hillsboro Club, Byron and Angelique joined hands, hearts and lives in the presence of 110 family members and friends. As the sun set and the waves crashed, five handsome men, four gorgeous women and one beautiful bride walked down the aisle to the music of Nancy Gillan.

After the ceremony, the guest retired to the club's patio area to experience a swanky cocktail hour. The guest enjoyed stationary hors d'oeuvres and cocktails, while listening to the smooth sounds of jazz. After taking beautiful pictures, Angelique and Byron joined their guest during cocktail hour...A very nice touch.

The reception was a true celebration. Angelique wanted a party vibe and that was the outcome. The dance floor stayed packed with the sounds and mixes of South Florida's #1 Mixologist, Hans Batista. Everyone was in total party mode. Byron (the groom) took the mic and surprised everyone (especially me) with a sample of his be-bopping skills. I even saw the banquet staff getting their groove on.

Everyone had a fabulous time!

The Wedding Salon

On November 10th I attended the Wedding Salon Showcase at the Biltmore in Miami. The showcase featured vendors for the sophisticated bride and groom. This showcase seemed smaller than before, but I still had a Fabo time meeting new vendors and networking.
