Italian inspired Dessert Table

I have been hanging out with my Best friend Ivana, she is Italian. Learning the language and the customs of her country. Since we are both going to a wedding in NAPOLS this summer.

Her sister´s wedding. So she is encouraging me to be as italian as possible.

Something that describes an Italian wedding better than anything else is food. So we head out to her favorite ITALIAN Bakery and Coffee shop in Cancun, where we both live and she explains everything about ITALIAN PASTIES.

I figure out its a great idea for your DESSERT TABLE, since it doesn't matter where your Destination Wedding is taking place a little italian inspiration never hurts...

My interview to Ivana:

Italy is all about family. People love to get together in coffee shops called "BAR"
this is a tradition. Specially on weekends people are outside the "bar" waiting for their friends to come by and everybody goes there to meet their friends.

This magical place has amazing coffee and pastries. For example "corneti" a very typical pastry found from the north to the south of Italy, found only during breakfast. "Capresse" a heart shaped bread filled with an almond paste original from Capri. "cantuccini" original from Florence and they are always served with a very fine spirit called VIN SANTO.

Another typical dessert specially from Italy is the famous "gelato" there is no way you can survive an Italian summer with out your Gelato.

My friend

Ivana Locacio (more italian than pizza) introduced me to this Amazing pastry in my home town Cancun, called ISOLA DOLCE.

For her the perfect place to have breakfast, an amazing spresso with a Corneto, for me an amazing afternoon coffee shop where we can talk and drink great lates and enjoy exquisite Italian (original recipe) pastries and desserts.

I really hope you find this desserts as tempting as I did and apply them to your dessert table, you can always do a mini version of them so they can be a cute piece of finger food delicious to indulge any ones sweet tooth.

discovering new VENUES around #rivieramaya

I'm coordinating a wedding in JUNE at

AMARTE MAROMA

a very beautiful venue that

is very unique.

A beach where the only thing you need is your

imagination. A white canvas ready for your

production to take place.

This is how it looks today and

of course I will post the wedding

so you can see our magic touch as

we take the creativity in us and

design a whole new place for our

lucky couple.

My fair lady wedding inspiration

I don't know about you, but ME I'm a

HUGE fan of classic hollywood golden era.

The dresses, the glam, the elegance ...

This weekend I watch for the 20th time (more or less)

Audrey Hepburn at MY FAIR LADY

a classic that will never grow old, at least not for me.

But this time I watched it from a peculiar point of view,

yes you guessed right, from my wedding planner's point of view

and the result is amazing inspiration.

Im all in for the elegance and

the romance of the era.

I could not keep my eyes away from her Dresses,

particularly the white one

she wears for the

"Embassy Ball"

I went all crazy about

the dress and told

my whole family,

there you go I think I

found my perfect wedding dress.

Not that I 'm about to marry or anything yet, but

you know us girls,

I couldn't help it

Its just too damn

perfect for me!!!

So I thought I could share a few photos courtesy

of Warner Bros. pictures

I hope you find the dress as inspiring as I did

and well maybe you can pour us some tea

and sip as we enjoy this adorable "Eliza Doolittle"

a simple flower girl become a real

princess.

A touch of pink with a hint of yellow

These were the colors chosen by Maru & Roberto for their

FRIDAY february 24, 2012 wedding.

They had a lot of problems in their home town to get their papers in time for their catholic wedding, but that did not stop them as they gladly entered our CAPILLA DE SANTA MARIA DEL SECRETO and had their civil ceremony after the Catholic mass.

Friends and familly al travelled from Monterrey,

Mexico to witness their LOVE union.

They danced all night with the Cuban Band they had for their party.

MARU LEAVING HER WISH AT OUR VENUE'S

WISHING TREE EXPERIENCE

It was a very intimate wedding with 40 guests

but they had the time of their lives choosing

a unique VENUE that could really give them the privacy and

exclusivity they where looking for their Beach wedding.

Lighted dance floor, lighted tables and light center pieces

gave a very romantic atmosphere as bride and groom

danced the night away ending the party at 330am.

Luckyly they had a bus waiting for them at the entrance and took

everybody back to Playa del Carmen to their

Hotel where they rested to get ready for their

saturday activities.
