The bridal bouquet, boutonniere, and centerpieces are made up of pink and fuchsia roses and fuchsia orchids that coordinate beautifully with the rest of the décor.

Vision in White - $2300
The classic white wedding you've always envisioned takes on a dreamier quality when transported to a lush island setting. Hints of eyelet and lace grace every detail from the party favors to the desserts, and delicate white orchids and gladiolas make up the bouquet. Your elegant white fondant cake is decorated with classic white ribbon and topped with white dendrobium blooms. White pillar candles wrapped in eyelet fabric cast a soft, romantic glow over the reception table for an exquisite setting you'll remember for a lifetime.

Seaside Serenade - $2500
Capture the romantic spirit of the ocean's melody with the Seaside Serenade wedding, featuring accents inspired by the sun, sand, and surf of an island oasis. Exchange vows under a bamboo ceremony arch, strung with strands of capiz shells, then enjoy your reception at a beautiful table set with seashell, coral, and sand accents. Your cake décor consists of an aqua fondant cake topped with red roses. Every delightful detail, in white, aqua, and coral, evokes the natural beauty of a seaside celebration.

Chic and Natural - $2500
The Chic & Natural wedding imbues your special day with a feeling of serene enchantment. Clean lines and organic elements set a tranquil tone that is modern and full of romantic charm. The ceremony and reception are accented with white and green orchids, polished black river stones, vibrant green moss, and touches of soft sand linen. Your cake décor consists of a pistachio green fondant cake topped with white dendrobium orchid blooms. The Chic & Natural wedding guarantees you'll start your new life together in style.

Island Paradise - $2900
The Island Paradise wedding brings the vibrant colors of a Caribbean isle to your celebration. Gorgeous orchids arranged in fuchsia, pink, orange, and yellow evoke a romantic feel of tropical opulence.

    Absolutely stunning!

    The resort and setting is unbelievably beautiful…. You question if it’s even real! Unfortunately the only day it rained was on our wedding day and the wedding team had to move our beach wedding to the indoors. They reacted fast and efficient to the inclement weather. It was still a gorgeous wedding indoors!!

    Beautiful!!

    This place was so perfect for our destination wedding. Except the photos:(. Planning was over the phone and email until we got to the resort and they handled everything. All of
    The details were taken care of and made everything so easy!! The resort was stunning and the staff were above and beyond! We had a very small wedding but still went all out with the details. The only huge downside was the photos. The came out terrible especially for the price we paid. We didn’t print a single photo, I was heartbroken. The angles and poses were all off and there were none of just me in my dress or any of the ceremony of our faces showing. We ended up paying for a photographer in the states to re shoot but it’s not the same :(

    This was our first tropical vacation and this resort made me understand why it appeals to so many! The beach was beautiful, though more people seemed to not make it as far as the pool. Which is understandable, with the pool bar, though it closes a bit early (before dinner). It gets harder to snag a seat as the day goes on as some guests send their butlers down to reserve beach chairs.
    The food was really good, but there usually was quite a long wait, and we had trouble getting a hold of reception. The room was gorgeous and comfortable though - it became a haven from the hot sun sometimes!
    Excursions were expensive so we only enjoyed one, plus a massage. Either way, it made for a nice honeymoon!
