RIVIERA MAYA DESTINATION WEDDING BASIC DIY

ESCORT CARD VS. SEATING CHART + HOSSTESS

SITTING CHART = excellent for traditional and very stick-to etiquete weddings

Because Destination Weddings are all about fun, fun, fun

Get creative and make your Escort Cards ( guest seatting cards)

So what are escort cards? (according to a-wedding-reception.com)

   They are cards that are used to inform your guests of their assigned table where place cards are to let your guests know of their assigned seat at that table.   The wording that you would use on each card is the guests' name and then table number 1 (or the table name to which they have been assigned).

The propper way to address these cards would be:

1. Jennifer Willow - the full name of your single guest. Or a more lay back way is with just the first name.

example of place cards

2. Dr & Mrs. David Swift - for a married couple.

3. James Bloom & Guest - if an invitee has brought with them a guest whose name you do not know.

ALWAYS REMEMBER TO DO SOMETHING THAT REPRESENTS

YOU AS A COUPLE AND THAT HAS A MEANING AT YOUR WEDDING.

DIAMANT EVENTS NEW IMAGE

CHANGING THE WAY THE WORLD LOOKS AT WEDDINGS

has always being our slogan, but until now we couldn't have

stated this phrase better than with our new LOGO

We hired Stephy Diamant from *makes me smile Graphic Design

to understand and help us create the idea behind our inspiration.

Final result was amazing, not only understood our philosophy, but also

used every single element of what the spirit of Diamant Events means.

BEHIND LOGO AND ICON:

1. A kaleidoscope is a circle of mirrors containing loose, colored objects such as beads or pebbles and bits of glass. As the viewer looks into one end, light entering the other end creates a colorful pattern, due to the reflection off the mirrors. When looking trough a kaleidoscope you can see the world in a different way, all you see is colors, beauty and a very special once in a life experience. Because the shapes will be different every single time.

DIAMANT EVENTS shares the kaleidoscope philosophy in every wedding, making it different and unique, CHANGING THE WAY THE WORLD LOOKS AT WEDDINGS.

2. A Diamond is a treasured gem stone. Their usage in engraving tools also dates to early human history.The popularity of diamonds has risen since the 19th century because of increased supply, improved cutting and polishing techniques, growth in the world economy, and innovative and successful advertising campaigns. THE ULTIMATE SYMBOL OF LOVE is the Diamond. This is why we use them in engagement rings. My last name is DIAMANT which means Diamond in French.

DIAMANT EVENTS only true statement is ALL YOU NEED IS LOVE.

3. Purple is a range of hues of color occurring between red and blue. In additive light combinations it occurs by mixing the primary colors red and blue in varying proportions. In art, purple is the color on the color wheel between magenta and violet and its tints and shades. In mythology PURPLE represents changes, transformation and metamorphosis in life. A wedding is a HUGE change in the life of two human beings.

DIAMANT EVENTS colors empower the big step to a new life together. EMBRACING CHANGE.

THIS IS US. THIS IS THE SPIRIT OF OUR COMPANY. THIS IS WHAT WE LOVE.

Thank you for becoming a part of us!

Thank you for sharing a very important part of your lives!

Thank you for trusting your dreams to us!

TRASH THE DRESS: a trend worth every penny (nickel and dime)

To have on the day after wedding your

trash the dress has become more popular now a days.

Riviera maya is an amazing place to have yours. White Sandy beaches, ruins, cenotes, the mystical jungles and exotical backrounds that make the TTD session even more exciting to Bride & Groom than the traditional photo shooting on their wedding day.

But I really feel its time to give you a new idea.

⌘HONEYMOON TRASH THE DRESS

yes I know it sounds crazy but think about it.

You had your wedding back home and come to Riviera maya or Cancun for your Honeymoon✪ and you want to have more wedding memories.

Ussually friends and honeymoon experts will help you make a list of your must haves.

This one inspired by

From

You don’t quite see the wedding dress in there. So DARE to try something different and have the mother of all adventures at your honeymoon.

Get your wedding dress and add it to your honeymoon packing list.

Technology makes this posible for example using the very popular compression bags:

• Place your wedding dress inside these plastic travel bags, seal end, roll up, and you're ready to go. Some may need help from a vacuum.

• The air inside the bag with your garments is squeezed out a one-way valve at the opposite end

• Made with a triple-laminated nylon/plastic film which is sealed at edges with heavy duty edge seams

• Includes an improved anti-blowback zipper, waterproof and odorproof.

• Packages usually nclude 1 Medium and 2 Large sucion bags.

Book with Riviera Maya and Cancun TRASH THE DRESS experts. Because they not only have the best technollogy and knowledge but work at the greatest locations.

Like Tamara & Anthony (below):

You can also book our Venue for the trash the dress session.

Triathlon

Happy Sunday!!!

I just got back from the 1st Triathlon in Puerto Morelos.

We only did the 5 km race but I feel like if a truck ran over me (hahaha)

Any way during the race I started thinking of all the

Just Married couple.

So I decided to show them all in no specifical order

With photos from internet.

Stairway

street

subway station

inside fountain

ridding motorcycle

at airport

at ferry

at the aquarium

Rollerblading

Perhaps you have sighted couples in a place thats looks nothing

like the place were they are supposed to be ...

in a place very unusual (by the way this makes the pics even cooler)

Which places have you seen them other than the Disco (after party)

which is way more common ... share with us: just for fun!!!

FEATHER FLAIR

source of design

Usually I get inspiration from the things that I actually live in the present time. So I have this HUGE thing for Birds, I love everything about them and even have my Bird watcher's guide book for Birds in The Peninsula of Yucatan (so true).

And looking at my closet I see I have lots of accessories and things bird related (looks a bit like this)

So here in Mexico we don't get everything about fashion as fast as in the States. And I've been wanting my FEATHER HAIR EXTENSION for so long that when I located a girl that sells them in Cancun (Mariel Díaz Mendoza) and it turns out she is the sister of my sister´s friend. (small world) So anyway we met yesterday so I could get my feather.....

... and I haven't felt happier! (its crazy how sometimes its just the silly things that inspire you)

Well I will take this passion of mine about birds and feathers and give you some magical insight of how a very sublime detail can make a BRIDE shine on her day.
