Historic Landmarks Mansions and Gardens Whether for their classic beauty and grace or their sense of enduring history, historic landmarks add special character and charm as the setting for wedding ceremonies and receptions. South Florida offers many unique locations, such as Mansions and Monasteries and Beautiful Gardens, in which to celebrate your special day. Because each historic site is unique, it’s important to do some research to ensure the venue is able to meet your needs. Here are some questions to consider: • Can the location accommodate the guest list? • Do they offer catering? • Is there sufficient power for the band or DJ? • Are there dressing rooms available for the bridal party? • Will the site be open or closed to the public on the day of the wedding? Begin your search for the perfect location on the following pages, or visit the National Register of Historic Places for even more options.

The Spanish Monastery T
he Monastery of St. Bernard de Clairvaux was built in Spain during the period 1133-1141. It was originally dedicated in honor of the Blessed Mother and named the “Monastery of Our Lady, Queen of the Angels.” Upon the canonization of the famous Cistercian Monk, Bernard of Clairvaux, the Monastery was renamed in his honor. Cistercian monks occupied the monastery for nearly 700 years. The cloisters were seized, sold, and converted into a granary and stable due to a social revolution in that area in the mid 1830’s.
I
n 1925 William Randolph Hearst purchased the Cloisters and the Monastery’s outbuildings. The structures were dismantled stone by stone, bound with protective hay, packed in some 11,000 wooden crates, numbered for identification and shipped to the United States. About that time, hoof and mouth disease had broken out in Segovia, and the U.S. Department of Agriculture, fearing possible contagion, quarantined the shipment upon its arrival, broke open the crates and burned the hay. The workmen failed to replace the stones in the same numbered boxes before moving them to a warehouse. Soon after the shipment arrived, Hearst’s financial problems forced most of his collection to be sold at auction. The stones remained in a warehouse in Brooklyn, New York, for 26 years. One year after Hearts’ death in 1952, they were purchased by Messrs. W. Edgemon and R. Moss for use as a tourist attraction. It took 19 months and almost $1.5 million dollars to put the Monastery back together. Some of the unmatched stones still remain in the back lot; others were used in the construction of the present Church’s Parish Hall. 28

The idea was simple and innovative; provide a luxurious, but professional atmosphere for offering full body laser hair removal and skin renewal services exclusively. The goal was to embrace an aesthetic approach to medical procedures that were currently being performed in sterile medical offices. The founders of Ideal Image extensively researched and sought the advice of various laser manufacturers as well as known experts in the field of laser procedures. After an exhaustive effort of time and study, they carefully planned and meticulously implemented a complete systems model for Laser Hair Removal and Skin Renewal services, thus meeting the high aesthetic and professional standards conceived for their venture. Today, innovations at Ideal Image are unmatched in the industry and we have expanded our services to meet our guests’ skin care needs.

The surgeon is like an artist, aiming for true to life results using a palette of the latest and most advanced medical and surgical techniques. In cosmetic surgery, as in all forms of fine art, it is essential to pay attention to detail and have artistic vision. Dr. Salomon masters both without jeopardizing safety or compromising ethics. Dr. Salomon is committed to the highest standards and strives to deliver perfection to each patient resulting in only the best results. Cosmetic Surgery isn’t always a straight forward procedure, but rather can be a cultivation of various fine adjustments similar to the creation of art. Dr. Salomon approaches each operation with a deep artistic point of view. Throughout his career he has taken pride in performing every procedure with excellence, no matter how simple or complex.

DESTINATION
5 THINGS YOU SHOULD KNOW! BY SUSAN SOUTHERLAND
Over the years, I’ve worked with many couples planning destination weddings. The idea of jetting away to another city or country and celebrating with only your closest family and friends can be very appealing! There’s a lot to be said about getting married in a location with tons of things to do and sights to see.

BEFORE YOU BOOK, THOUGH, THERE ARE FIVE THINGS EVERY COUPLE SHOULD KEEP IN MIND WHEN PLANNING A DESTINATION WEDDING:
BUDGET WISELY. Many couples think of destination weddings as a way to contain wedding costs, but expenses can add up quickly when considering travel, lodging, meals, and entertainment on top of the wedding itself. Be careful to budget for every part of your trip, and don’t forget to focus your attention on the reason for traveling in the first place: your dream wedding! 86
LOCATION, LOCATION, LOCATION! When choosing a destination for your wedding, be sure to think about more than just what will look amazing in pictures. How far is the venue from the airport? Will you and your guests be able to stay on property, or will transportation be required to get to the wedding? Is the ceremony space private or open to the public? Is there a limit to the number of guests who can attend? All of these questions should be considered when making a venue decision. 87
MAKE IT LEGAL.
88
Just because your destination officiant pronounces you, that doesn’t necessarily mean you’re legally married. Consult with your wedding venue to see what paperwork they file and what you might have to do on your own. Also, check the requirements in your home country to make sure your marriage is properly registered with legal authorities.
THINK OF YOUR GUESTS. Asking guests to travel to a destination wedding often means asking them to invest a great deal of time and money. Consider presenting those you invite with a “total price� for them to attend your wedding so they can plan accordingly. Also, provide them options of things they can do while visiting your wedding destination. If they know they can craft a vacation out of it, the cost will be easier to justify. 89
DON’T SWEAT THE SMALL STUFF. When you venture away from home for a wedding, you lose osse some control over what happens. Collaborate with a wedding dddinng planner at your destination to make sure everything hinng you envision is accounted for ahead of time. Once Oncee you arrive, try to kick back, relax, and enjoy every moment of your destination weddingg experience. Remember, it’s not about the litt little tlee things…it’s about your new life together!
90
Destination weddings can be fun, intimate, romantic, and memorable for you and your guests. Do some legwork ahead of time to be confident that a particular destination works for you. Then you’ll be ready for a wedding that none of you will ever forget. Do you have a destination wedding story you’d like to share? We’d love to hear from you! 91

When people think of weddings, they generally think of things like colors and themes, or oral designs and music selections. But before any of those choices are made, a wedding budget has to be set. It might not be the most exciting part of wedding planning, but it is by far the most essential. 93
Establishing a budget will help you know whether you can afford a lavish plated dinner reception, or if you’re better off planning an intimate brunch wedding. Not sure where to begin or what to consider? Here are my top budget-planning tips:
1. Prioritize. I developed a worksheet that I use with the couples whose weddings I help plan. The worksheet lists all typical wedding expenses, from stationery and favors to venues. Couples go through the worksheet and prioritize each item, allotting more of their budget to the items that rank the highest. I highly suggest that all couples do this at the onset of wedding planning. 94
2. Whittle down that guest list. The easiest way to keep wedding costs down is to manage the guest count. Food and beverage (F&B) is generally the largest cost for any wedding, so it goes without saying that the less mouths to feed, the more money you’ll have to spend on other services.
3. Be realistic. Often, the couples I work with have little understanding of how much wedding services cost. Do your research. Understand why a bouquet of roses from a professional orist costs more than a cellophane-wrapped arrangement from the local grocery store, or why it’s worth investing in a professional photographer rather than asking Uncle Bill to bring his Nikon.
95
4. Stay on top of things. Budgets change frequently, so it’s important to review them on a regular basis. Using a budget calculator such as the one available on Perfect Wedding Guide can help you keep an eye on each budget line item as your plans progress.
5. Giveth and taketh away.
96
There’s a possibility that you might go over-budget on a line item or two. That’s okay, but be sure to adjust your budget on other line items to account for the overage.
6. Plan for the future, not just the big day. It’s easy to get caught up in the excitement of bringing your wedding vision to life, but don’t ever forget that this is just the first day of your future as a couple. It isn’t worth going into debt. Stay within your means and start your marriage off on the right foot! 97
Budgeting may not sound like the most fun part of planning your wedding, but taking the time to do so will help reduce your stress and keep you organized. Following these tips will help keep you in good shape leading up to the wedding day and beyond. If you have any other budgeting tips you’d like to share, please leave a comment!

3 REASONS
WHY VENDOR RELATIONSHIPS ARE BENEFICIAL by Kristen Ley
112
Unless you wed at a venue with a list of preferred vendors that you are contracted to use, finding the right vendors to pull off your vision can be tricky. Instead of traveling all over God’s Green Earth to interview countless wedding professionals, seek vendors in networking circles, as their relationships with one another will help make your planning that much easier. Once more, they’ll be happy to refer each other the business and maybe even extend a discount!
So you find a great wedding planner that you absolutely must use. The next step is asking them whom they recommend for the reaming aspects of your event, and here’s why: 1. Planners pick the vendors that best fit their clientele. Often juggling many vendors and coordinating multiple weddings at once, planners rely on their relationships with wedding professionals and trust that they will take care of his or her clients. To secure this mutually beneficial relationship, vendors invest their time and energy to get in with planners and have them serve as a referee by matching them with just the right couple. So know that the same amount of energy will be put into your event. 2. Vendors who have worked together in the past know how to compliment one another with décor and more, as they know each other’s styles. When it comes to making your vision a reality, they can communicate amongst themselves and bounce ideas off each other, rather than making you the middleman. You can be rest assured that the details will be taken care of. 3. Vendors help each other gain exposure and may pull in another wedding professional at no cost just to help them gain a presence. Sometimes, you’ll notice a decorator helping their friend, the florist, at a wedding. The trade off – both parties get to use the pictures to promote their businesses. And, going the extra mile to make the bride happy and hopefully get a positive review is worth their while. On the day of your “I Do,” you don’t want to turn into bridezilla because things aren’t getting done or issues arise. By seeking these vendors, you can relax and enjoy the experience of your wedding day knowing your team of professionals will ensure your vision is seamlessly brought to life.
