At the end of February/beginning of March we planned a minimalist Miami wedding that was very intimate with a modern look; the location created be the decor itself. The bride and groom invited friends from all over the world-after all, a few days in Miami for friends and family is the perfect destination. The event spanned several days and incorporated a dinner at Wish one night, a cocktail reception at their house around the pool another night, and the marriage ceremony and reception at the Spanish Monastery. Ancient, beautiful, and full of character.

They did a "trombinoscope", which is French for photo board, with a page on each guest who attended the event, so everybody was able to know in advance who was who and how they were connected with bride and groom. It was really cool and also smart. They brought people together from all over the world effortlessly, making it easy to guests to relax and enjoy the wedding and each others company.

The food was delicious thanks to our dear friend Thierry's Catering who created a feast of  Cakes included a traditional American cake, as well as the famous European style, "Piece Montee".

Thanks to our wonderful quartet, sweet tunes filled the air throughout the ceremony and cocktail reception. Later, people danced to the sounds of DJ ZOZON, whose style includes many international music touches.

Orchids were the bride's flowers of choice: in the trees, around the bride & the groom, and then set-up in modern compositions mixing gels, candles, and the flowers in multi-level vases.

Thanks to Laurent and his team for the wonderful pictures and video that were done during the wedding. Finally, guests left with a magnet with shades of Italy, the country visited by bride and groom.

When all was said and done, the VIBE agency delivered an experience that melded America and Europe, domestic and International, but most of all captured beauty and love.

 Home Guru, Martha Stewart, creates lovely Floral Arrangements in Eggshells to adorn table tops, place on mantels or simply brighten the home. He says, "Hollowed-out eggshells make naturally beautiful vases for tiny flower arrangements. Break an egg at the top of its shell, drain the contents, and carefully rinse out the inside. Next, fill the empty shell with room-temperature water and place it in an eggcup for stability. Finally, insert small cuttings of your favorite blossoms (we used lilacs, lily of the valley, and violas). Individually or grouped together in a centerpiece, these tiny arrangements make a wonderful addition to the place settings at your table."

Create a Magic Garden

Using pots of pretty flowers (we love tulips, Gerbera daisies, sunflowers, and other colorful happy flowers), dedicate an area of the house or yard and set out pots of flowers. Fill in with large amounts of Easter egg basket fill or thinly cut up construction paper and crinkle it up so it looks more festive and textural. You can use this garden to hide Easter eggs, chocolate, for décor and more.

Make Your Own Chocolate Eggs

Melt your chocolate in a double boiler or in the microwave. If using a microwave, melt for one minute on half power and stir. Step 2: Fill an egg mold with the melted chocolate. You can use the plastic eggs available during the Easter season, gelatin molds or deviled egg holders too. Don't over-fill the mold. Allow the chocolate Easter eggs to set thoroughly. Step 3: Separate your egg-halves from the mold and paint each one with melted chocolate. Hold the two sides together and allow to set in the refrigerator. Step 4: Remove the eggs from the refrigerator and decorate. Pipe the chocolate Easter eggs with frosting or add any cake or candy decorations that please you. Be gentle with the eggs as they are fragile. Piping frosting over the seam will help strengthen the chocolate Easter egg.
