Jen Tavaroli from Atmosphere Wedding Planning and Design calls this table “Reflective Romance”. It is conceptualized around the romantic at heart. The white pin-tuck table linen is a wonderful base for the stunning gold dinner plates, and white satin chair covers give an airy feel. Splashes of red and black accents are added by the party favors and dinner menus to amplify the mood of the decor. The elegant centerpiece uses clear wine glasses, basic candles, and glamorous diamonds to create a sense of love and comfort. The romance comes alive with the sparkle and grace of the rhinestone napkin buckles. This table speaks to the confident bride who doesn’t need anything but simplicity to create the atmosphere.
Thanks to Infused Studios for the wonderful pics!

Destination weddings are becoming increasingly popular. With sun, sand and surf available, who wouldn’t love to get married in a destination location? Whether it’s in the blue Carribean, historic Mexico or sunny Jamaica, a destination wedding has all the great elements of a wonderful holiday to celebrate your wedding day.
Check out RIU Bambu Hotel in Punta Cana, Dominican Republic. With an on-site wedding coordinator, décor and set, flowers, music and so much more included with your package, the only thing you have to worry about is keeping your tan even.
Or you could try RIU Ochos Rios in Jamaica – they include spa packages and breakfast in bed for the bride and groom. In Cabo San Luca, the RIU Palace offers three different wedding day packages and a wide variety of amenities for you and your guests. Cuba is less than a two-hour drive from Havana, and the world-famous Varadero beach stretches over 20 kilometres along a narrow peninsula on the north coast of the island. Amazing sites and fabulous views are a perfect backdrop to your wedding day.
Thinking about Hawaii? The culture adds a little something to the traditional wedding. Each island has its own identity, from the commercial to the small and intimate, each supplying a little something special. Visit Haleakala National Park or Diamondhead Mountian. Both of these locations offer breathtaking views. A wedding in Hawaii can range from a quiet beach ceremony to a lavish resort ballroom.
Looking for something different for your wedding day but don’t want to head to a beach resort? No other city is as unique as Las Vegas. Its skyline includes Paris, Egypt, Rome, New York, Venice and San Francisco, to name a few. You could be married by Elvis or an alien, whatever suits your unique style.
Wherever you choose to go for your destination wedding, make sure to research the local laws and marriage rules carefully. Find out a number of different activities your guests can take part in and leave a list with contact information in their hotel rooms with their gift baskets.
