Tickled Pink Brides - Orlando, Florida's Premier Wedding Planner

Real Wedding at Ceviche, Orlando

In January we had the pleasure of working with Vanessa and Chris to coordinate their wedding at Sts. Peter and Paul Catholic Church and reception at Orlando's Ceviche Tapas Bar and Restaurant.  This couple incorporated all their priorities into the wedding and were able to spend such a fun wedding day together.  With a break between the ceremony and reception, Snap Fine Art was able to capture great images of Vanessa and Chris with their friends and family in multiple locations around downtown Orlando.  

 
 

 The party started downstairs at Ceviche with plenty of sangria, live music and flamenco dancers during cocktail hour, then moved upstairs to continue the party with DJ Carl.  Vanessa and Chris dine frequently at Ceviche, and they selected their favorite Spanish cuisine to serve their guests for dinner.  A cigar roller, a self-serve sangria station, market lights strung overhead by Kaleidoscope, ice cream for dessert, and a sparkler grand exit onto Church Street made the night memorable.  Thank you, Vanessa and Chris for allowing the Tickled Pink team to be a part of your wedding day!

  

 
 

Arzu and Ahmet's Ritz Carlton, Amelia Island Wedding

As a wedding planner/coordinator, rarely do I get to sit, laugh, and cry (and have a drink!) at a wedding.  Last weekend, my dear friend Arzu was married at the Ritz-Carlton in Amelia Island, FL.  My husband and I spent our first night away from our baby girl to attend this gorgeous event, making it a milestone for both Arzu and Ahmet, as well as Sam and I.  The bride's twin sister served as officiant for the beautiful couple, making the ceremony ultra-special.  Friends and family flew in from Turkey and around the world to be a part of the wedding.  Snow storms in the north caused the groom and photographer to drive 20+ hours to make it to Florida.  Needless to say, everyone was thankful to arrive safely and on time!

Arzu's Priscilla of Boston wedding gown and custom-made birdcage veil stole the show.  The "birdcage" was translated throughout the event with small nests and Jordan almond "eggs" for favors, bird-stamped place cards, and nests to hold toss petals at the ceremony and centerpieces at the dinner reception.  Cocktail hour hors d'ouevres consisted of Mediterranean foods like olives, feta, and Turkish Delight candies.  A Turkish band played traditional music during the candlelit reception and a whirlwind of dancing ensued!  So much love and emotion emanated from this wedding and I'm happy to say that I teared up AT LEAST three times as I watched the couple and their families unite.  Congratulations, Arzu and Ahmet, and without further ado, here are the pictures!
