Maria and Roland

Roland and Maria are a vibrant, fun loving couple and their nuptials reflected that in every way.  Each member of the wedding party met massive applause upon entering the aisle from the primarily Californian crowd.  The flower man and the ring man in their adorable white shorts and bow ties especially got lots of noise. Maria chose their fashionable attire (her groom apparently said no way to the outfit).  Roland is a graphic designer and hence the amazing seating chart and awesome name tags with personalised buttons on the macaroon boxed favors.  These two had loads of personality, not just anyone could pull off a plum and crimson wedding!  Congrats!

It may have been the most popular wedding date for the year, but this Tropical DMC wedding at the gansevoort had to be the prettiest on Providenciales.  Sarah and David exchanged vows on the beach, had their cocktail hour poolside with live island music, then hosted their reception in a tent that left the gorgeous Turks and Caicos starry sky visible. 

Best wishes to Debbie and Mike

I met Mike around six years ago at an island art show where the both of us were presenting work.   A short time after I met his upbeat, pretty girlfriend Debbie and I distinctly recall a conversation where my (now) husband and I, and the two of them, bonded together over “no intentions to get married” campaign.  We had a good laugh about that recently when we bumped into each other at the grand opening for the Veranda.  They shared an intimate ceremony for two, just a few weeks before our nuptials in January.  The gorgeous photo above was taken at the The Estate, and the insanely romantic photo below, just steps away at the The Lounge, which by the way, looks like this every night of the week minus the bride and groom.
Today marks the time where the couple leaves Providenciales for a new adventure.  Bon voyage and best wishes!

Jackie and Shawns Wedding at the Grace Bay Club

This was not your average destination wedding.  Firstly, there was the ceremony officiation by famed mixologist Toby Maloney.  How often do you see a bride and groom enjoying a cocktail as part of their “I-do’s?” This was not your average cocktail either, we are talking about a concoction of lavender and cucumber infused Hendrick’s gin (my favorite and oh so difficult to find on the island), bitters, mint, and the dab of genius Toby is famous for.  Needless to say the ceremony set the tone for the rest of the day and this group was all about the party.  As a matter of fact, when it came time to exit the cocktail hour at The Lounge and head to Grill Rouge for dinner, the group clearly desired to linger longer.  When wedding planner Teresa Brunner of Tropical Destination Management Company, finally had escorted the entire party of 70 in small groups of a reluctant five or seven, the meal was served in a jiff so this couple could get on with their evening.  The beautiful  and spunky bride Jackie wowed the entire Grace Bay Club with her serenade to her new husband.  The waitstaff stopped and huddled in pairs, the nearby anacaona restaurant patrons adjusted their chairs to turn her direction, and even the infiniti bar fell silent.  Turns out our bride Jackie is a professional singer.  After a huge wave of applause the fun loving couple went on with their first dances, their fun, and (rumor has it) a toss in the pool!  Congratulations to Jackie and Shawn!

Lori and Ian’s Wedding at the Gansevoort

The Gansevoort is one of the newest resorts in the Turks and Caicos Islands, and it’s popularity is rapidly spreading.  For starters it boasts one the most wonderfully wide and uncrowded beaches on Providenciales; a perfect location for a large beach wedding.  Planner Teresa Brunner of Tropical Destination Management Company  is a pro at coordinating hotel accommodations specific to a the guest list needs. Environmental Arts did a stunning job for this lovely couple.  They created a floral design for the ceremony of Hawaiian lei inspired curtains, a reference to the couples love of Maui.  TC Millwork took care of a custom finish on the bamboo canopy, as well as a height modification to accommodate the 6’6″ groom, and hand painted beach and tickle trunk signs in the same font as the couples brilliant programs which doubled as fans.  The modern architecture of the Gansevoort is complemented by simple and sleek surrounds true to the name New York made famous, creating it’s stand apart signature.  The pool is clearly the stylish center of the property, giving the infamous white sand beach just steps away some serious competition for guests attention.  It made for a picturesque cocktail hour.
  Environmental Arts created sophisticated florals for the reception; cascades of white orchids in tall silver vases for the interior dining area, willow branches with white cala lilies, and low white rose and blue hydrangea silver cupped arrangements adorned with the brides handmade message flags.
The fragrant floral adorned cake was created by Diane Guess.  Kissing porcelain bride and groom figurines and cake serving cutlery were family heirlooms.
Brilliant set up a self-service photo booth with a tickle trunk of pirate props Tropical DMC sourced.  Loads of laughs could be heard from this area for the entire evening, needless to say it was a huge hit! Teresa and I even took five minutes to get in on the fun. See more behind the scenes hilarity on Brilliants blog.

Parents of the groom arranged for a couple of surprises for the lucky newlyweds; a Turks Select Cigar Bar where each individual order was hand rolled, and a spectacular fireworks display which welcomed guests arriving to the beach bonfire post reception dancing. Our congratulations to the happy couple!
