Every now and then we meet a couple that understands that a wedding should be all about them, what they want as a couple and is ready to throw a killer party to celebrate with friends and family in the most perfect way. Chris and Brian did not hold back with their over-the-top, insanely unconventional wedding and for that, I love them!

The intimate ceremony (with just a few family members) took place in front of the fire place at the Verona Suite at the Westgate Casino and Resort.  For those unfamiliar with the palatial flat, this was the living space for Elvis Presley during his 800 plus run of shows during the 1960’s.  If it’s good enough for Elvis, it’s good enough for these Chinese Crested sisters!

After the ceremony, we had plenty of time for portraits while Destinations by Design finished adorning the rest of the 5,000 square feet of space with floral, candles and special touches before the rest of the friends and family arrived. Andrea Eppolito was the planner for this event and matched us with this fantastic couple!

…as I mentioned, candles and floral and this is just one area!  Not to mention, two of the four cakes by none other than Tiffany at Peridot Sweets.  Chris and Brian do not fuck around – they were serious about a great event!
