About Their Day

by Colette Lopez, La Fete Weddings

Valerie and Blaine’s wedding was one of our favorite weddings we designed at the Four Seasons Biltmore. The couple wanted a wedding inspired by the Raleigh Hotel in Miami Beach one of their favorite locations to visit on vacation. The black, white and coral detail was our theme colors. Mindy Rice designed the lush peony arrangements with the accents of lime green mums.  She made the custom chair covers for the ceremony chairs where the nuptials took place at the bride’s parents home in Montecito.   We transformed the outdoor terrace to create the Miami Beach Club feel.  We built the palm trees and cabanas, with adirondack furniture, bars and fire pit to add to the decor.  She loved the black fondant cake with the white gardenia flowers which inspired us to find the perfect custom chairs made for the event by Chameleon Chairs. Lazaro press designed the logo with their initials VB which we used from the invitation to the dance floor, round menu cards and even put it on the custom made surfboards as a gift for each of the groomsmen. The guests danced, ate warm doughnuts, sherbet cones, root beer floats and helped themselves to a delicious cookie bar to take home with them.  These guests never wanted the event to end-
