The Gown Guide showcases some gorgeous gowns, where the bride-to-be will find the top 10 trends showcased on the virtual runway. Since 2008, we have been inspiring and introducing our brides to the very best vendors and venues in the region, and will continue as we move forward into 2021. There is no question that the wedding and event industry is resilient and has adapted to the changes required due to the pandemic. From intimate “micro” weddings to backyard soirees, couples are finding creative and innovative ways to say “I do.” We feature several Real Weddings and thank the couples for allowing us to showcase their day. Wishing happiness and love to Bridgette and Logan, who Photo by Andi Diamond Photography married at Four Seasons and Kiley and Brandon, who tied the knot at the beachfront Don CeSar, Austin and Smith who married at a private residence in south Tampa, and Mickey and Scott who celebrated at Hyde House. We also a include an Inspiration shoot from The Edison with images by Rabecca Cruz Photography.

The expert planners at the property are ready to assist in creating your dream wedding with a variety of design and décor options. From the ceremony to the reception, the on-site team will handle all the details for you and your guests. We are so proud of all the venues and vendors that have adjusted to meet the needs of the soon-to-be wed couples, their families and guests. From increased social distancing requirements to additional safety protocols including wearing masks, wedding and event planners, photographers, caterers, hair and makeup artists, floral and décor companies, venues and more, have made the necessary adjustments to make sure that events and weddings can still take place. Certainly, expectations and plans may have had to be be altered and adjusted due to COVID-19, but as they say “the show must go on.” Cheers,

Destination Wedding

Love Knows No Bounds The Haven Riviera Cancun Resort & Spa | By Ronda M. Parag

magine having your wedding on the beach overlooking the beautiful Caribbean Sea in Cancun Mexico. I visited the property back in early 2020 prior to the pandemic, and now that travel to Mexico has opened up, it’s time to share the stunning property. The expert planners at the Haven Riviera Cancun Resort and Spa are ready to assist in planning your dream wedding and creating a blissful and memorable experience. The resort setting offers wedding and reception locations including the beach, a beautiful oceanside wood deck that’s part of Vora Mar restaurant, a second floor glass corridor with full horizon views of the ocean, and many more options where couples can exchange vows. The all-suite, all-adult resort opened in late 2018, and is one of Riviera Maya’s newest and most luxurious resorts. The all-inclusive resorts offers 24/7 room service, open bars, and

nightly entertainment. Guests will love the fine dining options from the Mexican Steakhouse offering sizzling tomahawks and dried rib eyes, to sushi and teppanyaki at the Japanese Fusion restaurant, and Mediterraneanfocused dishes at the signature restaurant, Olios. For a VIP experience, I’d recommend the Serenity Club. These suites offer: guaranteed ocean views with either a private swim-out pool or a balcony with a private hot tub overlooking the ocean. Serenity Club guests also have exclusive access to the Vistas Restaurant that provides delicious sunrise breakfast overlooking the ocean and lunch - this is exclusive for Serenity guests. Not to mention, all Serenity Club guests also receive a complimentary round of hydrotherapy and discounted spa services. Relax and recharge with a range of services available from The MySenses Spa.

Brides will feel extra special, as there is only one wedding planned for each day with a choice of design and décor options ranging from modern to vintage, to boho and custom. Planning is so easy with the on-site expert wedding planners. The luxurious bridal suite provides plenty of room to prepare for the special day. Haven also provides a team of highly-experienced, in-house photographers through Click Moments. The team is led by Felix Barra, a globally recognized and award-winning bridal and fine art photographer. A “micro” wedding is ideal for those couples wishing to keep things small. Haven has created several packages including “Tie the Knot” package ideal for up to 20 guests and a special vow renewal package — “You’re Still the One” that offers a ceremony, personalized planning, bouquet, cake and much more.

Gown Guide

Finding Your Dream Gown Bridal Trends 2021 | By Ronda M. Parag

ove is the air and couples are still getting married even if they have had to postpone or adjust their original ceremony and receptions plans. Many of the designers chose to do virtual fashions shows, but still filled the runway with gowns that were unique, creative and stylish. The top 10 runway trends included cut outs, backless and barely there lace, accents and balloon sleeves, tea length dresses, ruffles, square necklines, capes, subtle sparkle, bows, two-piece dressing including pants, and slip dresses. Regardless of your personal gown style, lace, sequins or other textures and embellishments will allow gowns to be appreciated from any distance — indoors, outdoors or on screen. “There are stunning styles with intricate lace detail with multi-layering fabrics to add texture and dimension, which helps the dress to pop in photos,” says Danielle DiMarte from The White Magnolia Bridal Collection. “We are also seeing strapless make a comeback this season.” With rich fabrics, attention to detail and innovative styling and fit, any girl can find a multitude of designers to create her dream gown. “It is so important that brides shop with a relaxed mindset, but also prepare for finding the one at any moment, it happens when you least expect it,” says DiMarte. “This past year has tested the event industry and it just goes to show how amazing and resilient this industry really is!” However, with many business challenges for designers, manufacturers and retailers, DiMarte does recommend planning ahead and giving yourself time to find a dress without stress, and allowing time for unexpected delivery delays. “Enjoy the whole process, it is so special,” adds DiMarte.

Topsy-Turvy Tipples & Tea When: February 7, 2020 Where: The Ritz-Carlton Orlando, Grande Lakes An Alice in Wonderland-inspired affair provided guests an immersive experience with entertaining hosts guiding guests through a menu of tantalizing tea party cocktails and bites. A curiously unique grown-up “tea” party on the lawn, featuring Hendrick’s Gin libations and an array of fanciful tidbits and treats. Hendrick’s Gin’s unique, yet curious, flavor comes from a combination of roses and cucumbers with a divine blend of eleven other botanicals. The Hendrick’s Gin team hosted a gala dinner event to feature fun creative Hendrick’s cocktails for 72 guests on the Da Vinci Lawn at The Ritz-Carlton Orlando, Grande Lakes. The idea came from similar events the team has held around the country and was an inspiration to have guests enjoy an interactive evening and education about gin and gin cocktails! Hendrick’s is known for their unusual and creative events and this was no exception. The team hosted guests and partnered with Fever-Tree Mixers to create fun, unique cocktails in a Mad Hatter type tea party. The Ritz-Carlton Orlando, Grande Lakes culinary team prepared items that paired perfectly with drinks and the guests were entertained by actors and jugglers who told stories of gin and the amazing world of Hendrick’s. The evening culminated with a specialty dessert and cocktail and each guest was given a balloon and sharp needle. As each guest popped their balloons butterflies emerged and flew off into the night! An amazing time had by all! Photos: The Photography Concierge
