If you’ve ever dreamed of a wedding on the beaches of the Caribbean, glistening ocean as the backdrop with sand squished between your toes – take note from this Anguilla “I do.” Destination wedding extraordinaire, Michelle Rago brought her expertise to the table with paper pretties by Cheree Berry Paper, and it all made for an epic day captured by Braedon Photography. This way to sunny skies and so much more.
The bride’s father has a gorgeous home on Anguilla where the couple was able to host both the ceremony and cocktails, which created such a sense of intimacy and family. Eliza was able to get ready in her bedroom and walk straight out past the pool and face the sea for their ceremony. There was a chuppah out of driftwood collected throughout the year and adorned with orchids and hydrangea. The designers also accentuated the aisle with manzanita and orchids. The amazing view of the beach was the best wedding backdrop ever!
The reception dinner and late night fun took place at the Malliouhana Hotel, where Eliza and Chris got engaged. The stylists transformed the restaurant, which sits on a cliff overlooking the ocean. The ceiling was strung with orchids and hanging candles which twinkled and swayed in the breeze. The centerpieces were all white, lush and low. The flowers were white hydrangea and dendrobium and phalaenopsis orchids. There was a lounge for dancing under the stars after dinner and then moved guests up to the pool for late night dance party with fun lighting! Get the pics of this beautiful wedding below!
