Donna, Kyle, and fifty of their family and friends traveled from New Jersey to the beautiful Ritz Carlton in Manalapan, Palm Beach, Florida for a modern, fun-filled destination wedding weekend. Donna used simple, elegant decor featuring mirrors and spectacular lighting to transofrm her room into a soft, romantic vision of pink and gold. The Ritz Carlton makes a great backdrop for fantastic photography, we had such a hard time picking only a selection of our favorite photos from this wedding. It was a joy to work with catering manager Danielle.
I loved being Donna and Kyle’s Day-Of Coordinator! They called me their little “wedding angel”! 84 West Studios photographer Dan, videographer Andy and DJ Adam rounded out Donna and Kyle’s wedding entourage.
We all wish the bride and groom a very long and happy life together! Below are some of our favorite shots from Donna and Kyle’s wedding.
It was so wonderful meeting so many of you at the Great Bridal Expo! We always have such a great time preparing for these shows. We introduced our new booth design just a few months ago and it has been such a hit! From our ambient up-lighting to our custom gobos, from our cool new DJ facade to our gallery-wrapped fine art canvas prints, we think we managed to give you a great preview of what we can do for your wedding. But you tell us – what do YOU like to see when you visit shows like the Great Bridal Expo?
We’ve been coming up with great ideas for what to give our brides who visit our booth at wedding shows. Right now we’re giving away gorgeous, perfectly-sized black tote bags. They feature our beautiful 84 West Studios logo in silver ink screen-printed right onto the bag. These sturdy, environmentally friendly tote bags are just perfect for shopping, trips to the beach, a stylish way to bring your lunch to work, or for holding your wedding planning materials and samples when you visit with vendors. They’re also great if you want an elegant black tote bag for the day of your wedding – maybe to hold a pair of comfortable reception shoes and any other items you may need that day that don’t fit into your bridal clutch.
They’re always a hit at wedding shows! If you would like one of our 84 West Studios bridal tote bags, we’d love to give you one! We’re currently giving one to every bride who makes an appointment with one of our event producers to talk about photography, DJ/MC entertainment, videography, and/or lighting & decor for their wedding.
Call us today to make your appointment, we’ll make sure to put your tote bag aside for you:Â (954)236-9000
Do you already have one of our tote bags? Please send us a picture of how you use your tote bag! We’ll pick our favorites and feature them here on our blog.
Today, guest author Heather Corrine of Signature Events joins us to discuss new wedding trends, including affordable, custom bridesmaid dresses, as well as three new color trends that will add a tropical pop to any South Florida wedding this year.
Off-the-Rack Bridesmaid Dresses – Trendy and Smart!
 
Think outside the box: go for off-the-rack dresses for your bridesmaids | Anthropologie.com
For several years now brides have been choosing bridesmaid dress designer and fabric, then their bridesmaids choose the style that works best for their body type. The wedding trend for 2010 takes it a step further. Choose only the color then let your bridesmaid find an off-the-rack dress of their choice. Not only does this alleviate some of your stress, it also ensures that the women are choosing a dress that they like and might actually wear again. This creates a trendy, custom look that also makes it more affordable for your bridesmaids to participate. Be sure to tell your bridesmaids how formal the dress should be BEFORE they go shopping – the last thing you want is to have one bridesmaid wearing a sundress and another wearing a beaded evening gown.
Handmade accessories add a personal and unique touch to your bridesmaid ensemble.
Clutches by ReJenerate, Hair Accessories by Nomsa, and Jewelry by ShySiren.
Pair off-the-rack dresses with custom accessories like silk flower brooches, bold jewelry, or vintage clutches. This will add an even more unique touch to your bridesmaid ensemble. Perfect for adding a punch of color and sparkle to black or gray off-the-rack bridesmaid dresses.

Black accessories and flowers are the wedding trend for 2010. Choose a black patterned table linen, black roses, and black rosette. For an even more dramatic look, use a combination of black and white.
Bright orange is making a comeback in 2010, this color works beautifully with soft peach undertones. You can add tiger lilies and orange gerberas into your bridal bouquet.
Bright yellow and turquoise shades are ideal for creating a tropical look this spring. These colors can be seen throughout the reception, such as ribbons on the favor boxes, in the bridal bouquet, and even in the cake.
Whether you choose a shocking orange ceremony, a romantic black and white affair, or a tropical scheme of bright yellow and turquoise, certainly with these color trends 2010 will be hosting bold, bright, colorful weddings.

Angela and Shawn are one of the happiest couples we have ever met! Their wedding at Jacaranda Country Club was fantastic. We love working with the staff at Jacaranda because they are professional and ready to accommodate your every need. We are so lucky to be working with fun, wonderful couples getting married every day!
Our favorite photo of Angela and Shawn is their first dance. We love the way the natural light makes the image glow.
