Hive member mrsblanco827‘s wedding day was inspired by their love of Chicago. A true party through and through (they managed to stay out until 3:00 AM!), the reception featured a flipbook video booth, Chicago themed wedding DIY details, and a soft color palette featuring salmon, gold, and warm touches.
Hivemember CDagger19 and her husband were married at Turnberry Country Club in the Village of Lakewood, Illinois. The day was overwhelmingly emotional, from an unexpected visit from a relative that had passed away, to celebrating the day with their Best Man who’d just been diagnosed with Burkitt lymphoma and sadly passed away three months after the wedding. The day was all about honoring love. As their parents and grandparents were celebrating milestone wedding anniversaries, CDagger19 and her husband honored them all with a special anniversary dance filled with happy tears.
Cristina and Andrew’s Jamaican destination wedding kicked off with a welcome dinner for everyone at 3 Dives Jerk Centre, a local jerk chicken shop, and ended with the bride and groom in their wedding attire plunging hand in hand into the Caribbean sea. The couple hosted their wedding weekend at the Rockhouse Hotel, a small boutique hotel featuring 34 rooms and villas. Celebrating with 52 of their nearest and dearest, their group was able to take over the whole hotel for three days! Unfortunately, due to the Zika scare, they had a few guests drop out, but the couple covered the empty rooms in order to maintain their privacy at the resort (since they didn’t have to pay any resort fees to get married there, they felt like it was a small price to pay for complete privacy—and it was totally worth it). Total privacy allowed them to have the DJ playing until 2:00 AM and late nights at the pool without disturbing anyone.
Cristina was thrilled that most arrived as strangers and left as friends (isn’t that one of every destination wedding bride’s dreams?). While DIY wasn’t high on their list (after all, they’d have to schlep anything they made on the plane with them), that didn’t stop them from DIYing a full candy bar—complete with 60 pounds of candy that they brought with them to their Jamaican destination wedding!
