Congratulations Jennifer & Russell!

Jennifer & Russell were married this summer at Sandals Negril Resort and Spa in Jamaica.

 I love the beach balls - printed with the couples names and wedding date - how cute and unique! Isn't it amazing how the bright blue of the sea and sky cast such a lovely glow on the tables?

Jennifer & Russell hired South Florida Destination Wedding Photographer, Tony Gajate to join them on their journey and capture the special moments:

Jamaica is such an easy choice for Destination Weddings - everyone has a great time! Negril is a good choice because of those famous sunsets.... 

{Congratulations & Best Wishes!}

The Bride's Guide - by Martha Stewart Weddings

I love Martha Stewart, and even more so now that she has partnered with Sandals Resorts. The Bride's Guide is a treasure chest of resources operated by the experts from Martha Stewart Weddings.

One of my favorites is the in-depth listing of Bridal Events, including such cool dates as the opening of J. Crew's first bridal boutique and trunk show listings for small independent designers. Check for an event near you!

This week, The Bride's Guide team has been busy planning a wedding at Sandals Emerald Bay in the Exumas.... read all about the process right here.

Enjoy!

Our Wedding Scrapbook - Darcy Miller

Darcy Miller designed a very useful scrapbook to capture all of the important details about your wedding that you wouldn't put in a formal photo album. Here she is on Get Married TV telling us more: 

The scrapbook is available on Amazon. Darcy Miller is the editorial director of Weddings at Martha Stewart Living Omnimedia. She no doubt had a hand in Ms. Stewart's recent collaboration with Sandals Resorts Weddings. Yes, Martha Stewart designs are now used as the wedding package themes at all Sandals & Beaches Resorts.

Martha Stewart Comes to Sandals Resorts

Last week I attended a seminar sponsored by Sandals Resorts and was lucky enough to see Martha's designs in action with multiple themed table displays. I was wowed and came home giddy as a school girl excited to help my clients take advantage of this fantastic partnership. Sandals Resorts makes wedding planning easy. Add the clean, simple and elegantly chic designs of Martha Stewart and your wedding will be a huge success. I expect to receive full photography on her designs very soon... in the meantime, the above is s sneak peak. Enjoy!

Pop-up Paper Wedding Decorations

Martha Stewart Strikes Again... I am super excited about Ms. Stewart's partnership with Sandals Resorts. I can't wait to see what great designs she debuts for their Destination Wedding packages. I'll have to wait until the official launch in October - but in the meantime, I've been cruising her website and found some great paper decor ideas that would certainly fold and travel just fine for a Destination Wedding:

Martha Stewart DIY Beach Seating Cards

All of these ideas are affordable ways to customize your seaside Destination Wedding. Found here! (From Martha Stewart - who recently partnered with Sandals Resorts and will be offering wedding design packages at their properties starting in January 2010!):

An Interview with Preston Bailey

Preston Bailey, celebrity wedding planner and partner of Sandals Resorts, shares some of his ideas:

Sandals Montego Bay Intimate Little Chapel

What better location for your dream wedding... combine the best of both worlds by being able to walk down a traditional aisle, and yet dance the night away under the stars barefoot in the sand. If this sounds tempting and you are a fun loving Bride or Groom, then Sandals Montego Bay might be the perfect fit for your Destination Wedding. Sandals Montego Bay is one of only a few resorts we know of that actually has a chapel on property. I don't have any great photos of the chapel - but if you google it, you will find plenty!

Jaime Stewart McConnell (daughter of Sandals Chairman Butch Stewart and Managing Director of Royal Plantation) keeps a charming little blog all about Sandals Weddings.
