Monday evening weddings are not commonly seen or often heard of, however, when it came time for Aimee and Cuong to book their dream location in South Florida availability during a weekday was not an obstacle.
The couple tied the knot on Monday April 21, 2008 at the historical and spectacular Vizcaya Museum and Gardens. While setting up, we encountered stubborn rainfall and mild winds. Aimee and Cuong called me several times during the set up to check in on the weather. I assured them that everything was going to be ok and that they would have their ceremony outdoors as planned. When Aimee arrived she looked drop dead beautiful! She looked like a fairytale princess coming out of the rolls. We carefully escorted her to her place and the began what seemd to be everlasting trip up the stairs to the mound. Cuong's face lit up immediately once he saw his beautiful bride walking towards him.
The amazing ceremony, conducted by Revd. Michael Calderin was about 35 minutes long. Immediately afterwards, the guests were escorted to the east side terrace to enjoy gourmet cocktails served by Mena Catering and his efficient staff.
The tent facing the bayside was adorned with white and pink lights and had an outstanding chandelier hanging above the dance floor. The bottom dock area was adorned with garden benches and the added touch of a candy and dessert buffet stations. The building was washed with hot pink uplights and the garden were lit up with strung lantern lights.
Once the guests were seated, they were greeted by DJ Ubi and were delighted by Aimee and Cuong's choreographed first dance. The formalites followed and the dinner was served. Soon after they enjoyed their plated meal, the party began and the guests began to dance until I literally had to escort them to their shuttle bus.
The one thing that I think the bride and groom enjoyed the most was that they chose to take their portrait pictures the day after. Although Rodrigo Varela did a fabulous job capturing all the formal family portraits, the couple was able to enjoy their cocktail hour and not have to worry about missing out from spending time with their friends and family!
This wedding was very rich and filled with love and carried their cultural background with yet a modern chic style!
