kika's 70th birthday!

diana and i prepared the day before, clearing out furniture and setting up the decor for a ladies' brunch celebration to honor kika. the hot pink table runner was such a fun touch! we had colorful coasters and mimosas for all the ladies. our mini orchids added a feminine touch to the long tables. it was so fun to see the family gather to celebrate such a momentous occasion. once the party had ended, kika was surrounded by all her children and grandchildren, & wait... her great grandchildren! who would have thought? happy 70th birthday, kika! we love you!

raquel & albert

raquel and albert are longtime friends of mine. i could not have been happier to plan their wedding. raquel and i spoke for years about this day. her dream was a day filled with love, purple hues, and plenty of picutres. the 18 person court alone was enough to startle anyone assisting with the wedding. we had so much fun at the rehearsal! the girls got ready at the dadeland marriot. they came down to the ballroom before leaving to check out the site. it was perfect! the ceremony took place at st. thomas the apostle. since it was just before christmas, the church was already decorated beautifully. the highlight of the cocktail hour was the candy station. by the end of the night, not one piece of candy was left! the reception was filled with laughter and great music. guests enjoyed their dinner, a chocolate fountain, a martini bar, and a coffee bar. we could not be more excited that this day finally came! we love you both more than you will ever know!
