Hi Friends,
Just posted a wonderful wedding we planned at the Grand Del Mar. Nick and Amanda were amazing to work with…Nick plays for the Greenbay Packers and now after the wedding Amanda plays with us when she is in town! Enjoy the video, which by the way was done by Vidicam Productions as a next day edit 310-205-6004. We showed this the next day and the guests were in shock that we had it done so quickly. If you have any questions about their wedding I will be sure to answer. Oh and stay tuned as one of my favorite wedding magazines will be publishing this wedding very soon. You can also find the video under weddings in the event portfolio section at www.mindyweiss.com xoxox Mindy

Hi Friends, If you have been following the Maui Wedding we nearing the end…
The reception well all I can say it lasted until 5am a lot longer than I lasted
I’m crazy about the seating card floral piece that Cindy Smith from Marks Garden designed! Not only did it house the cards but it got the guests excited even before they entered the reception ballroom.

Onto the dinner…we kept everything white until the doors opened to beautiful shades of purple…my pictures are during set-up and just a few after…I had to get into work mode but I will most definitely have this entire wedding on my site when the photographer is ready.

BEFORE

The client bought really cute ballet Isotoners for the women to change into when their feet gave out from dancing…and boy could they dance!

Just when they thought the party was over we guided the guest downstairs to what we named the Buddha Bar and the DJ began!

We served breakfast at 2am and you would never have thought these guests ate dinner. We serve traditional Mexican chilaquiles (I know I botched the spelling of that!) and the party went on…We brought in a Buddha statue that my camera did NO justice to. Brandon lit the room to perfection and behind the buddha the background continued to change, it was awesome! Another favorite of mine is Revelry’s new high top cocktail table. Black acrylic box with a Chandelier glowing inside..Love that! The guests received as a turn down gift a silver heart with a mother of pearl lid filled with white jordan almonds. The almonds are for luck and fertility!

Can you imagine the baby shower after this fun week of parties? Enjoy the rest of the pics and I’ll tell you about the brunch tomorrow..xox Mindy

Background for DJ.

Hi Friends, Here are some ceremony pics from the Maui wedding… I promise when the photograher gets me the good ones we ill add it to our website and I also promise I will be getting a new camera! We set the ceremony up in a semi circle. The chavari chairs were covered and tied with what I call the sexy sash (a low bow tied to the side).

We then placed the wedding program (a beauty designed by Lehr and Black) and the heart shaped sparklers which had a box of matches attached inscribed with the bride and grooms name and “A Perfect Match” (an oldie but goodie saying ) …we also had a note attached explaning to the guests to light the sparklers after the bride and groom said “I Do”.

We separated the fabric and cocktail area hide right behind…thses pics ar not great sorry!

Love this Bar arrangement

We brought in white wood bars with an inlaid mirror…

We had pillows handpainted with the couples initials. The furniture groupings helped to fill the large pavillion.

Brandon owner and designer of Peterson Lighting washed the entire floor with these wonderful unique gobo designs.

all the fabric was pulled back by floral tiebacks

Tomorrow I will try to post the reception and the after party “Budha Bar”.

Thanks for visiting my blog.
