Sunshine Yellow Garden Theme
Damion and Carlene’s sunshine wedding featured a must-have bamboo arbor, and brilliant pops of yellows and lights to create the garden theme they envisioned.
We loved the shoes.
The bride was resplendent in a strapless, A-line dress, accented with beads and chiffon roses; but it was her shoes that she was most excited about. She spotted the perfect pair of shoes with bright yellow bow at dsw.com.
We also loved the round, yellow cup cakes.
The couple was adamant about these: both chocolate and vanilla; they did the ceremonial cutting on a 6-inch round chocolate cake.
Jenga Blocks Guest Book!
One of the most imaginative things at Damion and Carlene’s wedding were the huge Jenga blocks created by their friends Josanne and Chris. These amazing colour-coordinated blocks were placed on tables, along with Sharpies, so that guests could write their wishes for the couple. Now, the newlyweds keep the blocks at home and have great fun playing with them, especially at “limes”, while reading the heartfelt notes from their loved ones.

Coral Inspiration
Fun and sophisticated, the colour coral is pink’s half-sister that’s quickly becoming very popular at weddings. The peachy-orange tones add versatility to let you pair this colour beautifully with almost all others. We especially love it with turquoise, ivory, or chocolate! For a romantic theme, try a gentler shade of coral, and for a high-energy feel, go for a brighter hue.
Alternatively, emerald and mint are also hot on the fashion runways and are hitting the wedding world hard. Emerald, is the colour of fashion this year, and is symbolic of growth, renewal and regeneration, according to Pantone Inc. who creates colour standards for the fashion industry.

True love in pink
The Meeting
The couple met online through a mutual friend while they were still teens. Their first date was a movie “lime” at Alydia’s house. Luckily, their parents knew each other and consented.
The Proposal
Brad planned a vacation in St. Lucia which included an all day catamaran cruise. The couple had a lovely trip to the sulphur springs, went snorkeling and had lunch at a plantation. When they got back to land Brad started talking about how lovely the sunset at the hotel was (he had been there before on a boys’ lime); he was worried they were going to miss it as the shuttle was dropping off at their locale last.
When they got back to the resort Alydia opted to refresh before going onto the beach. As soon as she was dressed, Brad literally dragged her out of the hotel room and onto the beach, got down on one knee, and asked her to marry him. Alydia responded, “Are you serious?”The look of sheer terror on Brad’s face told her that he was.
Alydia was totally surprised because Brad always rolled his eyes and shrugged off any mention of marriage. Brad gave her the ring his grandfather used to propose to his grandmother and his dad to his mom.
(The Wedding)
Theme
Alydia wanted her wedding to be soft, yet elegant, with a hint of romance. Pink, she says, is the colour of true, sweet, innocent love.
Decor
The reception venue was adorned with flowers in light pink and fuchsia gerberas, star-gazer lilies, white spider mums, white asters, light pink and fuchsia spray roses, purple chrysanthemums, leather leaf and rice fern.
Cake (and cake table decor)
The couple opted for an ivory and cream cake with decorative sugar flowers and a light dusting of iridescent glitter on the detail. The cake stood on an etched glass stand and was accented with flowers such as pink and fuchsia gerberas.
Bridal Gown
The bride wore an Alfred Angelo Piccione Bridal Gown in diamond white. The gown is silk taffeta with a ruched base, metallic embroidery, crystal beadings and a semi-cathedral train. The dress was originally a halter but was altered into a sweetheart neck. It was French bustled for the reception.
Accents included an Alfred Angelo ivory veil, pearl and diamante silver earrings, and a keepsake tri-string pearl wristlet with diamante detail.
Groom’s Attire
The groom wore a black pinstripe suit (locally purchased); his tie was handmade by a family friend, from a David’s Bridal watermelon satin sash.
Bridal Bouquet
The bride opted for variegated fuchsia pink roses with leather leaf base, lightly dusted with silver glitter and embellished with silver based crystal drops and crystal string beads, and hand tied with sheer fuchsia ribbon.
Boutonnieres
The groom wore a variegated fuchsia pink rose and ivory tuberose with leather leaf base wrapped with light pink satin ribbon and embellished with crystal. His groomsmen wore mini spray roses in light pink and fuchsia.
Flower Girl and Ring Bearer
The flower girls wore Alfred Angelo dresses; the ring bearer wore a Lords and Lads suit with ring pillow from A Wedding Showcase and More.
