Yoshi and Joy arrived from Japan only two days before their wedding. All planning and preparations were done online. But, it was a joy to work with Joy (pun intended) because she was very organized and thorough. All information requested were presented in Powerpoint and excel files, which made it easier for both her and me.
Originally, the theme of the wedding was sunset. Joy wanted a sunset-inspired wedding. Her entourage gowns were rust-orange. Her centerpieces had touches of orange in it. As fate would have it, the judge was late because his hearing was extended. So, the afternoon wedding also got delayed and we started just as the sunset was starting to dip past the colonial houses in the resort.
Here is a picture of Joy doing her dramatic entrance at Plantation Bay. The guests loved it!
Joy loved the idea of having flowerballs for her aisle stands. After the ceremony was over, we tied it to the back of her gazebo and they made beautiful added decors.
What was originally a 3-layered cake became, in a flurry of last-minute brainstorming, a one-layered cake with enough cupcakes for everyone. Seahorses mate for life and that became a central design for the cake.
Due to time constraints, the invitations we made for Joy were smaller than what she originally approved. I felt badly about that minor mistake so we gave her complimentary ground fireworks for her first dance. I sincerely hope that made up for it! It certainly looks very good in the pictures.
Finally, Yoshi and Joy had a Trash the Dress post-nup photoshoot for Yoshi and Joy the next morning, to cap off their wedding.
The last time she was at my shop, before she left back for Japan, we hugged & Joy said, "Thanks, Jan. I enjoyed my wedding." Praise God for another beautiful wedding!
