Puerto Rico Wedding by Amy Nichols Special Events

If you want to feel a bit fancy this Tuesday morning (and really, who doesn’t want to feel a little fancy on a Tuesday?), this elegant wedding by Amy Nichols Special Events will do just the trick. Complete with an Oscar de la Renta gown, stunning Puerto Rico views and drool-worthy Jimmy Choos – this wedding is making even my yoga-pant wearing self feel pretty glam on this otherwise standard weekday. We have Studio 1208 to thank for dressing up our morning with gorgeous images of the affair, and there is even more of this fancy fête in the full gallery of images!

And let’s continue the party for a bit with the gorgeous video from Studio 1208 - who also composed the original track you hear just for the couple. How special is that?

Bryan & Kim from Studio 1208 on Vimeo.

From the Bride…The Horned Dorset will always be a very special place for us.  Our first trip together was to this hotel. We planned the trip at the 11th hour with little expectations for the resort or Rincon.  When we pulled into the hotel, it was a pleasant surprise- 37 intimate villas on the beach.  Once we reached the villa, we almost jumped out of our skin!  Every room was Moroccan decor and they weren’t only romantic, they were two stories!  We were so impressed with our room, and the property, we decided we needed to come back.

On our fourth trip, Bryan popped the question with a cushion cut diamond on a rose gold setting.  It was the perfect place for me to say YES to a lifetime with him!  Almost immediately, the planning began.  The next day, we had breakfast with the GM, who led a tour of the property to see all the magical nooks and crannies (including the presidential suite).  The key selling point: the entire resort to ourselves and all 85 guests!   With Bryan from the West Coast, and Kimberly from the East Coast, a destination wedding was the perfect happy medium.  Our 4 and half month planning process began had already begun!

With a short timeline to bring our vision to life, I knew hiring a planner was key.  With some research, plus recommendations, I choose Amy Nichols Special Events. The reception room at the Horned Dorset is traditional, formal black and white decor with romantic red chandeliers.  To keep the color theme consistent we had white flowers, adding other touches. Amy used red and pink flowers to add pop along with mercury and silver vases.  I loved having more than two colors- it kept every room fresh and festive.  I walked into the reception and was filled with the smell of flowers- they were over the top and gorgeous (thanks to Arquetipo Flowers!).   One splurge, we flew in table runners / linens for the wedding from La Tavola Linens.  They pulled the black and white floors and table centerpieces together.  Never skimp on linens!

Since the ceremony overlooked the water, I wanted a dress that was sophisticated and beach appropriate, but nothing casual.  Slipping into my dream Oscar de la Renta dress, I couldn’t wait to walk down the aisle!  I felt like a princess, fortunate for me since our wedding was the same weekend as the royals!  The ceremony stage was set.  It was simple and tasteful with oversized lanterns surrounded by pink and orange flower petals.

   I have weakness in the knees for elegant seaside wedding destinations such as this. The details all tie so perfectly together, echoing the subtleties of each other without matching like a paint-by-number set. The wedding, like the couple, is simply elegantly beautiful!

   Where did you get the fabulous cocktail dress that you changed into?
10. Amy Nichols says:

    July 19, 2011 at 10:29 am

    Lacey,
    We bought the bags from Old Navy earlier this year! Unfortunately I don't think they're available any more.

    Thank you everyone for your kind words!

    Thank you for all the compliments.

    Lindsay- the party dress is by marchesa notte, i actually borrowed it from a friend who rocked it at her wedding. I think she bought it at Bergdorf's.

    Good luck!!

    Yes! Can you let me know where the engagement ring came from? It is gorgeousssssss
16. Bryan Kreuzberger says:

    July 19, 2011 at 2:25 pm

    I purchased the ring from John Paradiso. A good friend referred me, otherwise I never would have found John. He specializes in custom rings and has been a diamond wholesaler in NYC for years. You can reach him at jp86b@aol.com or (212) 343-1917. Just tell him Bryan & Kim sent you.

    All of the details - beautiful, Amy! The photographs and video - OMG. Seriously? One photo better than the next! The shot of the resort from the water should be the signature image for The Horned Dorset, and the kiss on tiptoes at the infinity pool is genius. All of Amy's details captured perfectly! And Studio 1208 composed original (and exquisite) music for the video? Amazing. Just amazing.

    P.S. Adam Chase, not cool to spam a blog with a link to your site. Have some class, please.

    What a lovely couple! The photos are so gorgeous!!!!!!!!! I looked through the entire gallery about 5 times. I'm obsessed with the photo of the bride and groom in the infinity pool. I don't know how much this wedding cost but the photographs make it look priceless.

    The video is beautiful. It's so special that the music was composed specifically for this wedding video.
    You can tell a lot of thought went into documenting this wedding. I've got Studio1208 bookmarked for future reference.
