THE HOLIDAY
Edit
WELCOME We couldn’t be happier for you! Weddings are the highlight of our existence here at Adriana Weddings. We love showcasing Real Weddings; inspiring you with Styled Shoots; & highlighting wedding vendors catering to destination weddings in the Caribbean. We take you behind the scenes of our first styled shoot, showcasing the versatility that is Drew Manor, and the pure luxury that this venue exudes... The lovely Drew Manor is one of those special places that holds a sweet spot in our venue loving hearts over at Adriana Weddings. From the moment we laid eyes on it back in December 2012, we knew that it was going to become one of the most breathtaking venues within the Caribbean, and we were right. We had such a blast working with the team at Drew Manor, and the other amazing wedding & event vendors who came from various areas of Trinidad & Tobago to be a part of it. Creating these love stories was such a joy, and made us fall even deeper in love with weddings and in assisting you (our brides-to-be) create a more meaningful path toward married life. Our story was inspired by the hundreds of real destination wedding couples who seek to create their dreamy “holiday” wedding at luxurious Caribbean venues, and the possibilities behind it. Do Enjoy!

Linen Design
On your wedding day, the little details matter more than ever, and that includes your bridal manicure. For all those close up ring shots, you need to ensure that your nails are doing your photographs justice. But unfortunately, this detail is so often forgotten by brides to be, and we’re here to say that though you may not need to go nail design crazy, getting an elegant french manicure, or even an all white polished nail manicure can make all the difference.
Copper is always such a great idea when looking for a sweet and neutral tone for an event. And oftentimes, as a bride to be, you would find that there is a tendency to get overwhelmed with the variety of options available by linen companies, so rich colours like this can make a huge difference, and are easy to access!
Solange Richardson from Sole (Beauty for the Soul) offers such a luxurious service to her clients, that they can’t help but swoon at the very thought of her and her outstanding brand. With her mantra “... always striving to be better than the best”, you won’t be able to resist her class, style and professionalism.
Working with vendors that you love and trust is EVERYTHING when planning your wedding, so when we thought of what team we could have gotten in touch with for this Styled Shoot, Gasp!! Events Ltd. was our first choice. We are huge fans of this lovely team of wedding & event professionals, and know that they will create your dream tablescape with love & ease.

THE ChristmasWedding Christmas was alwa ys her favourite time of the year. The beautiful, bold reds and greens alwa ys seemed to spark th at festive mood. Coupl ed with her childhood awe and wonder of twinkl es and sparkl es, this season alwa ys warmed her heart. With a love so great for such a special time, it would then onl y make sense to encapsulate it forever.
Bridal Attire We knew from the moment we first laid eyes on a custom Van der Vlugt (VdV) gown on a past Caribbean bride of ours, that we had to work with this gem of a designer. Darcel de Vlugt’s aesthetic is luxurious and timeless, and continues to make us weak at the knees. Coupled with this classic navy blue suit and black bow tie from Stephenson’s, this hollywood inspired “Christmas Wedding” look was perfection, and would be amazing for your Holiday themed wedding in the Caribbean.
Decor “The key to great design is capturing the spirit of the client and the essence of the space”, and this is exactly what Mr. Brian Pantin from Abfab Events does. Creating magic is a concept only made possible by a select few, and he and his team truly embody this. With his utilization of the rich burgundy luxe linen and apple red napkins from linen design team Gasp!! Events Ltd.; rustic candlelit lanters; and Christmas garlands inclusive of the most beautiful red cardinal birds, this decor look was truly a sight for sore eyes, and will blow your guests away!

Bridal Attire From the moment we met this fun loving and talented designer at the 2016 Wedding Convention, we immediately gravitated toward her style and personal touch on Formal Indian Wear in the Caribbean. She graced this Styled Shoot with two of her stunning pieces, and continues to inspire and captivate the hearts of many, seeking a different aesthetic. You can find this designer and her one of a kind pieces, at her beautiful store at the Hilton, Trinidad & Tobago.
