When Lindsay wanted a wedding planner, I said no. I ran every benefit in Greenwich, and didn’t need one. I was dead wrong; we couldn’t live without one. When you arrived in Palm Beach with your army, I switched off. Lindsay demanded perfection, and you delivered it. I tell friends they need a wedding planner, preferably you.  
– Leigh (Mother of the Bride)

This family, with outposts in Palm Beach, Greenwich and Nantucket, was dispersed even further in Virginia, New Jersey and New York during the wedding planning. Through phone calls, emails and scanned images we shared ideas and planned the numerous details that constituted this highly detailed destination wedding.

Every detail was thought through. The bed pillow has the bride’s mother’s monogram and the pretty bridal handkerchief has the bride’s new monogram and wedding date.

At each hotel and numerous private homes we delivered beach bags with personalized candies, treats, hats, beach balls, waters and this illustrated map of Palm Beach and itinerary. The personalization, assembly and delivery took our team two days to complete; our check list had dozens of items on it.

The bride got ready at home with her maids. Her dad drove her to the church where we had a spot reserved out front.

The garden made for some of the prettiest portraits. Bridesmaids wore dresses from the Wedding Library in two pretty styles.

The groomsmen favored navy blazers and hypericum berry boutonnieres with matching alligator ties and pocket squares. The groom’s family photos were taken at the Breakers hotel prior to the wedding.

The bride wanted a classic wedding invitation that was just a little different. I designed these traditional letterpress cards in a soft gray with hand calligraphy. I had the calligrapher address them in the same color; the RSVPs came back to my office.

The magnificent cathedral has a cloistered garden that makes you consider that you’re in a tropical, secret, gothic paradise. After the ceremony the couple playfully posed on the Club’s croquet court for a few sweet shots.

Guests were game for a bit of posing with the tropical birds that were brought in to set the tone (and the escort table).

I found vintage Palm Beach postcards that could be mailed to the couple throughout the year; they were used in lieu of a guest book.

We had fun with the menu card, printing it in a bright fuschia, and using the couple’s monogram for the first time in public. All of the gift bag items and gifts prior to this moment carried the first initials of the bride and groom. We used the same calligrapher throughout for consistency. We even had the opportunity to put the monogram on little drink flags, cocktail napkins and stickers for mini sweets packets at the after-party.

When guests were invited to dinner they were awed by a parade of waiters arriving with lit ice blocks and lobster claws. I suggested a mixture of high and low arrangements to suit the differing preferences of the bride and her mother. It was a perfect solution, giving the large ballroom rhythm and energy.

The surprises didn’t end with dinner – during the first dance the dining room roof was retracted to let the stars and moon shine in.

The tropical theme was emphasized with wicker chargers and exotic floral arrangements.

In case guests hadn’t had enough to eat, the couple offered mini-wedding cakes in addition to the numerous other sweets available.
