Location: Sheraton Bouganvillas Resort and Spa, Puerto Vallarta, Mexico

Danielle chose white roses and calla lilies with little hints of green for her bridal bouquet. Since she had chosen bold colors for her wedding she wanted to choose something classic that would complement her gown.

Danielle and Mick were married under a huppah right by the water in Mexico. The aisle was lined with large magenta and green flower globes that really “popped” against the blue ocean along with rose petals on the ground.

Danielle made the programs herself by purchasing brown paper fans and writing the order of events in each fold with a gold pen. The fans had a magenta heart shaped card attached that read “When you find the person you want to spend the rest of your life with, you want the rest of your life to start right away.” from the movie “When Harry Met Sally”.

Danielle and Mick provided their guests with Maracas as their wedding favors that also served as the escort cards. Instead of the traditional tapping of the glass for the bride and groom to kiss, they asked their guests to shake their maracas.

Danielle and Mick chose to do an exchange of roses between each other which symbolized their first gift to each other as husband and wife.

Tall centerpieces with magenta and green flowers decorated the guests’ tables.

Danielle and Mick created three signature drinks for their guests to enjoy; Micky’s Margi, Dani’s Dark and Stormy and Long Happiness.

The 12 piece mariachi band that performed at the reception was a wedding gift.

Instead of the traditional wedding cake they had cupcakes for their guests to take. The cake top was a gluten free cake for the bride and groom to enjoy.

Danielle and Mick were dating for three years before Mick proposed. While ice skating in central park, Mick got down on one knee to “tie his shoe lace”only to turn around and ask Danielle to marry him. Although she was a little embarrassed at first she quickly recovered after saying “Yes!”

The Date April 30

Danielle and Mick did not hire a wedding planner for their wedding and after contemplating on having a NYC wedding they decided to have a small intimate destination wedding in Mexico. They had visited Puerto Vallarta previously and thought that it would be the perfect place for their wedding. With vibrant colors and handmade details the wedding was a perfect blend of Mexico and their own style.
