Miami Glam...

I am not quite sure how I made it home yesterday. Phewwwww...it was a whirlwind, fun, exciting, amazing weekend in Miami for my friend Jill's wedding. After 3 nights of not going to bed before 1AM, I have to say I am a bit exhausted.

Jill could not have looked more beautiful. She was PERFECTION!







Sharing a moment with her mom, Donna.

And the bridesmaids...it turned out great! I loved that everyone wore their own dress, it looked so clean, yet interesting. I wish I could do it all over again and let my bridesmaids do the same thing.


all 7 of us



my best friends, Jayme, Em, Kami (all of our dresses were from J.Crew)



my BF Emily, who many agree could be my sister. It's a good shot of my new favorite Nars Schiap lipstick. Hot pink, very fun.


The wedding was PHENOMENAL. Jill is 6 months pregnant, so she planned this wedding in just 3 months. Her good friend is the event coordinator at the Biltmore in Coral Gables, and let me tell you they did the most amazing work I have seen for a wedding. The Biltmore itself is just an unbelievable backdrop for a wedding. And even though it rained (the ceremony was supposed to be outside), They quickly accommodated the situation and moved everything inside...including the cocktail hour! It turned out perfect though!



The place card table-the sculpture was made out of paper! loved it! The place cards were set in the grass...

The florist was Kathryn Parrish of Parrish Designs London. OMG...literally the most creative, innovative and gorgeous flowers I have seen at a wedding. She built an arch that Jill and Brian were married under and then the cake was placed under afterwards. They had small crystal bulbs that held candles, and flowers lined the branches above. Unreal.






tall centerpieces...aren't the branches amazing?









The insanely happy couple, cutting their cake while singing "Afternoon Delight". It was hilarious and so them. LOVE YOU BRIAN AND JILL! CONGRATS!
