Happy Valentine's Day!

Who doesn't love roses, and especially on Valentine's Day? We thought we would switch it up on our blog and feature our centerpiece of the week! Since its Valentine's day we went traditional and want to feature a centerpiece loaded with roses! Once again this fabulous centerpiece was created by our lead floral designer Amanda. The base of both of these centerpieces were filled with rose petals that match the roses on top. We hope that everyone has a wonderful day and Happy Valentine's Day!!

Get Creative!

When a couple comes to us and asks us how to tie in a certain element into their wedding we always try to think outside the box. We had the pleasure working with a couple who loved to travel. When we first met them this was apparent and we had to tie in their love of traveling into their special day. Instead of having table numbers, we decided to label the tables as locations that the couple love to travel to. Taking that even a step further, each table location had a short paragraph of why that destination was important to the couple.

When thinking about how we were going to get the guests to their destination, we thought luggage tags would be perfect! After cocktail hour, guests were invited to find their luggage tag and then they were off to their anticipated destination.

We love to be creative and we love when we can take something that is special to the couple and translate that into their wedding.

A BIG thanks to everyone who made this event a huge success:

Bouquet of the Week!

Time is just flying by! We are almost into February and we just can't believe it. Talking about flying, this weeks bouquet is filled with feathers! We love when brides allow us to be creative and this bride allowed us to choose what we thought would look best! The bride told Amanda that she wanted reds, purples, and nothing too large. Amanda took that idea and ran with it and this bouquet was created! This bouquet is filled with black magic roses, eggplant mini calla lillies, purple lisianthus with feathers accenting the edges of the bouquet. The stems were hand-tied in red fabric with studded pins. This bouquet was used for a New Years Eve's wedding that was just fabulous.

Kelli and Craig's Wedding Part 2

We are back with more photos from this amazing wedding. A few weeks ago we featured Kelli's bouquet as our bouquet of the week and we now have the professional images, thanks to BinaryFlips Photography. We just can't get enough of this bouquet.

Choosing our favorite photo from this wedding was a hard one. So instead of one favorite photo, we decided to have 2 favorites! The first photo we just love because it captures so much emotion!

Our second favorite photo is of Kelli and Craig and it is just precious. Once again this photo just shows the love between these two.

And to Kelli and Craig- what a wonderful wedding, we loved working with the both of you and best wishes with married life. Love MMD Events!

Kelli and Craig's Wedding Part 1

We have been anxiously awaiting the images from Kelli and Craig's wedding and we finally have them! This romantic wedding took place back in November at the Ritz Carlton Beach Club in Sarasota. The feel of the whole wedding was South Beach "loungy" but upscale and at the same time laid back. (Got all that?) Well the amazing staff here at MMD Events pulled this look off! We also loved all the peacock touches that were incorporated in with this wedding.

We also want to say a HUGE thank you to BinaryFlips Photography! Not even sure where to start in saying how much we enjoy working with BinaryFlips and can only hope there will be more weddings together!

Kelli and Craig's evening started off with the ceremony being held on the beach that embodied modern simplicity but accented by vivid color.

After a romantic ceremony on the beach guest then headed to the terrace to enjoy cocktail hour.

Guest then left the cocktail terrace and headed to the sunset terrace for dinner and an evening of dancing. The reception had wonderful purple uplighting, and many different elements of the that fit into the peakcock themed wedding.

Remember that awesome peacock bouquet featured a few weeks ago...well check back tomorrow for part 2 of Kelli and Craig's wedding.
