I have always loved hosting dinner parties and playing with themes. I enjoyed this so much that it became a career as a chief stewardess in the yachting industry. As a chief stew, you are responsible for creating and hosting events for the world’s richest on a nightly basis. These themed nights could take you through the islands of Spain, isolated beaches of the Caribbean, or waterfront New York City. I have lived and traveled in 40 countries, where I learned that I could control my destiny. After 5 years, I started to daydream of having a puppy, a garden and going back to hosting my own dinner parties, which lead me to start my wedding planning business, Blue Orchid Events.
The most inspiring wedding I have done was earlier this year with Anne and Karl. Like me, Anne and Karl are true adventurers. They thrive on travel and the ocean.
All my weddings are beautiful and full of love, but Anne and Karl had this ability to radiate care-free, “live in every moment” kind of love. The day and night were full of laughter and playfulness.
The wedding took place at The Cooper Estate south of Miami, a most magical place to have their adventure-themed wedding. Every table had a different country Anne and Karl had been to, with postcards of photos taken in that country tucked into the napkins.
Karl’s dad was the officiant and Anne’s family traveled from India to take part in this celebration. Both families acted like they’d been good friends for their entire lives.
I pride myself on making couples happy and seeing their visions come to life-stress free. Weddings are like a massive puzzle piece that requires thought and creativity to put together. At the end of the wedding night, the couple and families gave me hugs and a huge thank you. It feels absolutely wonderful to be appreciated and trusted with such a special event.
True blue orchids are the rarest and most sought after flower in the world. Along with my brand new sister company: Blue Ocean Events. It is solely for yacht-based weddings, where I strive to bring luxury standards to the wedding market. I am currently expanding both my dreams to train associate planners that uphold these standards to continue providing couples with effortless planning for their big day.
