Vanessa Jaimes

Vanessa came to us with high recommendations, and she more than met our expectations. One thing to keep in mind when planning a destination wedding is that you are in a beautiful place, and you don't have to do too much. We were in an eco-friendly environment, and Vanessa's arrangements complimented the surroundings. The wedding site was similar to the second picture in Vanessa's slide show. She added texture and definition to the oceanfront setting, but did not distract from expanse of being by the sea. Our guests remarked on how stunning the table arrangements were in their simplicity and elegance. "Low and lush" was the look we wanted, and Vanessa delivered. Keeping candles lit on the beach is not easy, and Vanessa used small hurricanes wrapped in a banana leaf for a lovely affect.

A suggestion to brides getting married in Mexico, use Mexican house number tiles for your table numbers. I actually saw this on Martha Stewart's website, and it worked beautifully. We used three dimensional tiles for more texture, and these were simply leaned against the glass vases.
