Exuberant hues woven with lots of texture was the theme of the day on this Frida Kahlo inspired photo shoot.

The stage was set at the incredibly gorgeous Korakia Pensione. Cathy O’Connell and Dorry Wynham of Celebrations of Joy assembled a team of incredibly talented and passionate people to create this vivid tableau. Larry and I could not have been more proud to be included.

Luna, the fabulously talented floral designer at Arrangements Floral & Party Design, outdid herself. Her Mexican heritage served her well…she really captured Frida’s love of color in every perfect bloom. She was also so smart to cast her little sister Estrella and her friend Solomon as our bride and groom. Estrella looked so beautiful in her Blue by Enzoani gown on loan from Signature Bridal & Tuxedo. Did you notice the charm of her beloved pup tied to her bouquet? What a lovely way to have someone special close to you on your wedding day.

Another one of my favorite touches was having the place cards tied to the iron door on the property. Incorporating what is special about the venue into the decor always makes for a memorable event.

Jason of Small Masterpiece set our table with a collection of antique dishes and glassware. With each place setting being a little different, wedding guests feel as if the table is set just for them. Jason picked up the fun place mats on one of his travels through Central America.

The bright turquoise napkins came from T. Eitzinger Couture Linens. This is not your average linen company. Their selection is really unique and utterly fabulous. I wish I had know about them when I was planning our wedding.

Speaking of planning a wedding, if any of you reading this are doing so, save yourself a lot of time and hassle and hire everyone I mentioned in this post. Besides being incredibly talented and caring, you’ll be surrounding yourself with some of the nicest people in the industry.
