Biltmore Coral Gables Bash!

After working with Hannah and Ross for over a year on their lavish Biltmore Hotel Wedding in Coral Gables, FL, we were so excited that that December 1st was finally here. This fun couple who met in New Orleans really made their wedding personal with some fun Louisiana traditions including "The Second Line" where fight song style music (think a very upbeat jazzy version of the saints go marching in) is played, feather boas are handed out, and the bride leads a conga-line style dance holding a feathered white parasol. To top it off, Hurricanes (a favorite New Orleans Cocktail) were passed out during "The Second Line"in traditional Pat O'brien's glasses. It was definitely one of the most beautiful and fun weddings White Light Events has ever had the pleasure of coordinating.The ceremony was decorated in a massive chuppah covered in white Casablanca lilies, roses, and hydrangea. It was also draped in beautiful white sheer fabric.The ballroom was a vision in neutrals done with a glitzy twist. The florist calls it "Boca Bling" and you can see why. The tables were rotated with 2 different types of centerpieces. Some were trios of giant crystal covered globes with candles and flowers. The others were enormous glass cylinders filled with cymbidium orchids and topped with huge arrangements of gorgeous white flowers. Every details was attended to including gold beaded glass chargers, matching Godiva favors, dinner menus, and fabulous beaded linen overlays.The tented patio was originally used for the cocktail hour and was later transformed with lighting and lounge furniture to a chic and modern after party equipped with a photo booth and a dj spinning house music till 2am.
