Welcome to my Wedding Blog.
Here you will find nice tips based on actual Weddings I have worked on.

In this picture, next to this beautiful couple, Carissa and James, you will see the entrance to one of Puerto Rico's top Venues for Wedding Ceremonies.
Castillo San Cristóbal is the largest fortification built by the Spanish in the New World. When it was finished in 1783, it covered about 27 acres of land and basically wrapped around the city of San Juan.

Why preparation pictures? Well, why not?
Let's arrange with your Photographer for the documentation of these beautiful pictures.
I'm pretty sure that Johanna and Michelle will forever treasure this moment that was captured. This is their "getting ready" moment minutes before walking down the aisle to exchange vows with their life partners.

Worried about rain on your Wedding Day?
We know this can be quite a downer for some couples.
Many cultures see rain as good fortune, cleansing and fertility. Often, couples wonder how they are going to still get good photos if it's raining. Well, take a look at this picture Noel Del Pilar took for one of our Destination Weddings.
It came out to be so well captured and you can appreciate how the couple and their guests happily danced under the rain.
Like everything in life, set your mind to see the good in everything.

Things you need to know before you consider a venue for your Outdoor Wedding Ceremony and/or Reception:
*Know your venues' options for a weather back up plan.
- Do they have at least one additional area in case of bad weather?
- Do you both like the back up plan?
- Does it goes with your Décor vision and style?
- Will it accommodate all of your guests comfortably?
*Does the venue have a curfew?
- Until what time you can play loud music?
These are just some of the things you have to take in consideration before deciding on your venue for the Outdoor Wedding of your dreams.

Tips for Guests to have fun at the Wedding.
I totally agree with these Tips that @brides wrote, and I want to share it with you.
1. Other Activities:
Pull in fun lawn games or life-size board games, like Jenga or even cornhole at the Cocktail hour photo booth is always an A+.
2. Late-Night Snack:
Whether it be burgers, pizza or little finger foods — so it's available a couple of hours after dinner and wedding cake.
3. More Than One Open Bar:
If you have a passion for whiskey or whipping up homemade margaritas, include a second or third bar that specializes in your favorite drink. You can even up the personalization of your wedding by including a bar that serves your signature wedding cocktail.
4. Skip the Traditions:
If you find the traditions meaningless and a little dull, then your wedding guests definitely will. Don't do something just because you think you have to — it's your wedding! And your guests want to see your personalities and spirits shine through.
5. Rethink the Sit Down Dinner:
Not married to the idea of a three-course meal? Skip it. Instead, go for one of the other awesome alternatives to a sit down feast, whether it be a buffet, food stations, family style or something in between.
6. "Yes" to Social Media:
In addition to giving your wedding a hashtag, encourage guests to pull out their phones and Snapchat, Instagram and post about your wedding in real-time to whatever other social media site they might prefer, but not to get on the Photographer's way. Ü
7. Get Visual With the Speeches:
When your maid of honor and best man prepare their speeches, give them the option of creating video or using a photo element to complement their words — giving guests something to look at while they listen will help keep them engaged.

Merylin was/is amazing! She came through for us especially the day before the wedding and the day of the wedding. I had found most of my vendors by the time I hired her and she had experience working with all of them. Once I gave her the information she took over and made everything happen! I had a very large bridal party and Merylin was able to organize the rehearsal very smoothly. On our wedding day there were a few glitches and with a snap of a finger Merylin made everything perfect. I don't know how she did it but she made magic happen. She is very professional and was attentive throughout the entire ceremony. It was awesome working with her!! My bridal party was very impressed with her work, her smile made everyone very comfortable. I would HIGHLY recommend her!!!

Seating chart idea
When the time comes to create and organize your wedding seating chart, take in consideration to alphabetize. Also, it will be very appreciate it if you go the extra mile to find out the names of your guests' plus ones. And last, but not least, use a legible font easy for guests to read.
This one in the photo, is from an elegant wedding I did this past summer at the Antiguo Casino in Old San Juan.

"Welcome to our Unplugged Wedding."
A polite way to let your Guests know that you would like to see them on their sit enjoying the wedding ceremony, and not on the Photographer's way taking pictures and uploading them on social media.
For me, this is a huge YAY!!!
This picture I took at one of my weddings, is a great example on how you both can inform your guests that you have an Unplugged Wedding.

Planning and designing your wedding decoration will be one of the most exciting parts of your wedding.
If you want to keep your wedding decor simple, then small centerpieces on each of your reception tables will look beautiful and give you a simple and elegant feel to your big day.
