Luisa and I met early on in her wedding planning, so I was able to be a part of everything from the beginning! From switching venues to dress problems, not everything went perfect, but Luisa kept a great attitude throughout everything. (Even while writing a few complaint letters to managers.) I truly believe those mishaps happened for a reason, because the final product was incredible! Fate led us to Maison & Jardin (
www.maisonjardin.com) where I was able to rekindle an old friendship from college at UF, the catering and sales manager, Brittany Davis. She is fabulous to work with, as well as their whole staff. What a great venue! Luisa and Steve said their I Do's in Saints Peter and Paul Catholic Church (

www.santiagostudios.com) captured the whole event with his beautiful pictures. The reception was decorated in navy and ivory with silver accents. There was warm candlelight on every table to illuminate the lovely flowers provided by Apple Blossom Florist (
www.appleblossomflorist.com). The cake, made by Sylvette from Cakes by Design (
www.cakesbydesigninc.com), was 3 tiers frosted in ivory buttercream with fresh hydrangea separating each layer. It included the couple's new monogram and an intricate lace pattern resembling the bride's wedding gown. During cocktail hour on Maison & Jardin's outdoor terrace, guests mingled with drinks and appetizers and listened to the soft guitar music played by Cyndi Schmidt (407-435-7787). This is one of the few weddings that I have seen where it was impossible to get the guests off the dance floor, even for dinner. DJ Eddie Solis, from Esolis Entertainment (
www.esolisphotography.com), played an amazing mix of Latin, classic, and up to date dance songs that kept everyone moving all night long! I had such a wonderful time working with Luisa and Steve and I can't wait to see what life brings their way!
