It was a wedding planner dream come true....The Royal Wedding of Meghan and Harry did not disappoint.   We saw some posts criticizing her dress or complaining about the sermon.  But from our perspective the most important thing was that they were true to themselves!  All of our Fabuluxe Brides have heard us tell them that 1000s of times.  Stay true to who you are.  We are celebrating two individuals who have decided to spend their lives together.  

The BBC Tweeted "Find Someone who looks at you the way Harry looks at Meghan" and we couldn't agree more!  

The little things were so special - the way he told her "I'm so Lucky", the way she smiled at him, the way he caressed her hand during the ceremony and in the carriage ride.  This wasn't a royal marriage for political reasons.  This was truly a love match!

And both of her dresses were gorgeous.  They matched her.  That's what you want your wedding dress to do.  The details of the floral embroidery on her veil were perfection.  Her natural beauty shined through her make up.  The tiara was stunning and meaningful.  Harry even handpicked the flowers from her bouquet from their gardens at Kensington Palace.  The subtle and heartwarming remembrances of Princess Diana were just right.  

“We must discover the power of love, the redemptive power of love. And when we discover that, we will be able to make of this old world a new world. Love is the only way.” Dr. Martin Luther King as restated by Bishop Curry....It was exactly right and fit for a couple who believes in fighting for social justice.  And an added bonus was watching the expressions on the faces of the royal family and guests...they didn't quite know what do with this fiery preacher...and to follow with a gospel choir...LOVE...and the choir was relatively reserved!  

The official portraits by Alexi Lubomirski were just lovely.

We will say it again, they were true to themselves and that is what a wedding should always be, in our humble opinion! And we hope that this wedding brings back simple elegance as a trend!

We got to ring in 2018 with the gorgeous and totally fun wedding of Emily and Alex at the West Palm Beach Hilton. 

They celebrated the New Year in style with so many unique and fun elements!  And the gorgeous evening ceremony was so full of love and tradition.  The whole weekend was a blend of the traditional and modern.  

A huge thank you to:

It came as a shock to everyone in the wedding industry, future brides and grooms and many more that Style Me Pretty shut down with no advance warning.  New content stopped being posted last week and the entire site will shut down as of April 30.

Style Me Pretty was the gold-standard in our business.  Everyone wanted to have their weddings featured on the blog.  Being a Style Me Pretty vendor gave you a "cool factor" but then more and more wedding blogs appeared.

Something happened...many blogs all started to feature the same type of wedding and photos that Style Me Pretty loved.  The same aesthetic started popping up all over the internet.  

What started as something where creative and unique weddings were celebrated, became the same thing over and over again.  Mountains, boho vibes, perfect size 2 brides and grooms in suspenders and beards with just the right amount of scruff were everywhere.

In our world real weddings feature people that aren't all size 2 models.  Real weddings are in ballrooms and on beaches and in churches.  In our world real weddings are beautiful, and unique and wonderful.  They reflect who the couple is and we celebrate them for their uniqueness.

While, we are sad to see Style Me Pretty go, there is a piece of us that hopes that the blogosphere will acknowledge the differences and celebrate Love in all shapes, forms and celebrations.

What do you think about the end of Style Me Pretty and how wedding blogs portray weddings?

We would love to hear your thoughts! 

Hi all...we are back after a break for a few weeks.  Wedding Season has been incredible so far this year and we are incredibly thankful for all of the amazing couples we work with each week.

Which brings us to this week's blog topic.  Why We Do What We Do.

Here are the top 5 reasons on Why We Do What We Do.

1.  We meet the most incredible people.  Not only are the couples very special, but very often we get to meet their families and parents and friends and get to known them during the planning process.  And we are so fortunate to become personal friends with our couples.  Getting to see them as they move through life and have families of their own is a true honor.

2.  We see some really cool ideas at parties.  From the decor, to the entertainment, to the way that the food is served, the amount of creativity that we see each week truly boggles the mind.

3.  We get to flex our creative and logistical muscles.  On some weddings we are all about coming up with new ways to handle the logistics of a new venue, creating a venue out of a blank space or organizing 200 people to be where we want them.  On others we get to show our creative side with design and decor elements and little surprises that make it all work together.

4.  We see people on one of the most emotional days of their lives.  And let me just say, that being allowed to be part of one of the most special and emotional days of someone's life is so beautiful.  We cry, we laugh, we are overwhelmed with emotion.  The ceremony, the parent dances, the speeches by the parents...all of those are filled with so much feeling!

5.  Our Fabuluxe Team is a family.  Creating this Fabuluxe Family and having the team we have is a blessing.  When you work with people that you truly care about, it shows in the work you do. 

There you have it...Why We Do What We Do!

Until next week...Have a Fabuluxe Day!

This year we got to spend much of the Holiday Season with truly in love couples!  

Jamie and Matt were so blessed to find each other!  It was a second chance at love for them both.  The blending of their families was so beautiful to see and the emotions were on full display all day!

We hope you enjoy their day as much as we did!

A Huge Thank You to everyone who made this day happen:
