Real Wedding : Amanda + Christopher's Palm Beach Trump Wedding

As time flies by, the entire team at LDE continues to work around the clock, helping me bring to life all the ideas I've dreamed up for my clients on their special day! And somehow, blogging the fabulous, daily behind the scenes posts of my crazy life as a wedding planner, has become the equivalent of me climbing Mount Everest. However, I will gladly force-pause when I get emails containing links like the ones I'm sharing today!

Over a year ago, I was fortunate enough to meet Amanda and her mother, Linda! Not only did we click with planning, but we all became fast friends! Many meetings, phone calls, maybe even a few bottles of prosecco, and we arrived to April in the blink of an eye. They wanted a Palm Beach wedding that no one would forget, and Team LDE brought it, executing one of the best weddings in our eight years!

Story book - fairy tale all the way, starting at St. Edward in Palm Beach with the "I Do", and ending at Trump International Golf Club with the party of the season.

Seriously, what a special wedding this was! Yes, because the couple and their family are all amazing people. And because of the added bonus that I was fortunate enough to bring on board ALL of my favorite colleagues to produce this most incredible celebration.

So ab-so-lut-ly, I will pause and allow myself to be transported right back to one of my absolute, all time favorite weddings by way of loving the imagery of Chris Joriann and cinematic magic of Senderey Video.

Some serious thanks you are in order - because unless you are illiterate, we all know there is no "I" in Team!

Thank you to Chris Joriann for shooting the you know what out of this wedding. And TY to the boys from Senderey Video, who not only capture all the very special moments, but knock out a trailer two days after the wedding!

Xquisite Events. I can never just say enough about my Nancy and her team at Xquisite. Despite working with them weekend after weekend after weekend, their work is always a fresh and beautiful!
Rock With U, enough said. Love you DJ Dean Michaels and love all my boys of Fusion!

Ivette, the lead stylist and owner of Pretty Suite, who made Amanda glow all day and into the night! My bride smiled and twirled in the most beautiful blush, custom fit, Casablanca gown from J del Olmo Bridal. Vivian, you are a true professional!

Thank you so my favey-fave-fave cake designer, Jennifer, who is The Sugar Monkey. She created a stunning tower of confection for everyone to enjoy, including myself!

And last, but certainly not least, Ms. Sue Carboy and her staff at Trump International Golf Club. There is never enough praise I can shower Sue with. Sue, you are simply the best!


Enjoy the cinematic work of Senderey Video, and be sure to check back soon for even more LDE shenanigans + happenings, as we continue to plan from Palm Beach to Florence and everywhere in between!

Real Weddings : Jon + Libby : Destination Wedding In Palm Beach



Libby + Jon. Where to even start? From the beginning, we clicked! It's hard not to click with them as they might be the most easy going, sweetest couple in south Florida! Seriously.

They gave me eight months to put together a fun, elegant wedding for them and they received so much more than they ever could imagine! Not to toot my own horn, but the program that was put together for them was nothing short of amazing.

Q.
Want to know what made this wedding work?

A.
1 wedding planner + 2 assistants, 3 cinematographers, 2 photographers, 1 string quartet, 7 musicians + 1 DJ + 1 Emcee, 36 high intensity LED uplytes, 2 H2O lights, round ottomans, leather couches, cube ottomans, square ottomans, acrylic cubes, chivari chairs, 26 centerpieces, valet, the entire staff from Trump, amazing family and friends and the sweetest, happiest, couple of 2010!


That's right, this is just some of the magic that it took to ensure that 250 guests had an unforgettable night! And I can say from experience, this wedding was - hands down - one of the top weddings of my year! Please enjoy just a few of the images captured by Kat Braman. In fact, she did such an incredible job documenting this wedding, I've had to break this up into a two part post. If you can't wait, please visit the supremely talented Kat Braman Photography for all the amazing details!

Real Events : Libby + Jon - The Trailer

Libby + Jon: Trump International Golf Club


Thanks to a lot of extra, extra, extra effort from Cabana Pictures, the trailer for one of my favorite weddings of the year (SIDE NOTE: if you didn't already know...it's Libby + Jon) went live on Thanksgiving. Can you honestly not think of a better holiday to receive such a gift!

I could fill up an entire blog with praise and compliments about Cabana Pictures. I absolutely adore them, and their work, and their style, and their work ethic and just the whole package. CP is one of only a few cinematographers who mix 16MM footage with HD video and the result is truly unique and stunning. They captured the day beautifully. and the trailer makes me cry each time I watch it. Hope you enjoy watching it just as much as we did making it happen!

Real Weddings : Jon + Libby : Trump


7 months ago, I introduced everyone to Libby + Jon who needed help planning their November 6th, 2010 wedding. With only a few months to go, time was not on their side but with Lauren Daversa Events involved, they had no reason to be worried. I got to work and put together an amazing wedding at Trump International Golf Club - the private golf club for Mar-a-Lago.

To tell you the truth, describing this wedding as amazing is an understatement because if I had Lauren Daversa Events awards, Libby + Jon's wedding would win for best wedding of 2010. And I am extra ecstatic to share a sneak peak of this most special affair, courtesy of my good friend Kat Braman. Be sure to check back for all the details and Libby + Jon, I hope you are enjoying St. Lucia!
