Enamorada: Sherrisse + Sheldon

Terrica Talk

When I saw this beautiful couple shot by Joshua Dwain, I just knew I had to have them for Enamorada. I absolutely adore the way Sheldon looks at Sherrisse—and the way she seems to melt when under his gaze. There is something so magical and romantic about their authenticity, touch, and levity. I really cant wait to see what Sherrisse pulls off for her wedding.

This is definitely my favorite shot:

You can see more of these fantastic images on Joshua Dwain’s Blog.

Stay in love!

Enamorada: Nicole-Lynn & Daniel

Terrica Talk

I am so excited to debut Enamorada on the blog today!

Enamorada means “in love” or “a woman in love”, and that is the entire premise of marriage: to be and stay in love. I believe this is such a personal, emotional and joyous stage of the planning process– one I truly try to capitalize on when planning a couple’s event, but can be sometimes lost during the stress of planning. Enamorada will feature engagement pictures of some of my favorite photographers to show case the love and emotion between a couple as they plan the union of their lives.

This week, I’m showcasing the engagement pictures of Nicole-Lynn and Daniel by Shannon Nicole Smith . As a matter of fact, they were the inspiration for this series, because I was so inspired by their pictures. Nicole offered me some link love and I traveled to her blog and fell in love with her e*pics. (Thank you Nicole-Lynn for allowing me to share your pictures!)

Stay in love…

We Likey: The Wedding Cake Martini

Terrica Talk, Wedding Sugar

wedding cake martini

You’ve been reading this blog for how long, now? So you should know me, right? There are a few things in life that capture my heart. One of course, is a gorgeous man dutifully known as Captain America…the others are wedding cake and martinis (yes, you can factor my children in there somewhere, too). Imagine my excitement when I found this recipe for a wedding cake martini.

Let’s let that linger.

YES! Moving on….

Here is the recipe for it that I found over at Italian Dessert Recipes:

Wedding Cake Martini

YIELD: 1 Serving
Ingredients:
* 3 ounces amaretto
* 1/2 ounce vodka
* 1 ounce fresh squeezed orange juice (or pineapple juice)
Procedure
* Uh, shake, shake, shake, and then serve!
* OPTIONAL: Float a little cream on top if you wish! (I prefer this – really tastes like a cake)

If it is too sweet for you or you would like some alternatives, they offer some really great substitutions…. So who’s up for a little cake in a glass with me?

The combination of verdant mountains, white beaches and crystalline waters present the opportunity for a dream-come-true, ocean-side wedding. And with a guest to staff ratio of 3:1 and the newly initiated Island Host program, which offers each guest a personal host throughout their stay, the happy couple will find all of their other desires fulfilled as well.

A Caribbean cocktail party compete with canapés is held as the bride and groom step away for an hour photo shoot. The island chef tends to an oil-drum grill to get it primed and ready it for a succulent surf’n’turf seafood feast; think fresh shrimp, lobster, steaks and more. A towering tropical cake is also on the menu with layers of Caribbean inspired flavors – pineapple, rum, coconut and more.

Serene Sailing – The British Virgin Islands are renowned for boating, and Peter Island Resort & Spa, a favorite among yachties, is now offering what else but a yacht-inspired wedding ceremony, Serene Sailing. The ceremony takes place on the high seas aboard the 41’ Silmaril, where an intimate wedding ceremony is performed. The reception continues on island as the bride and groom enjoy a one-hour sunset photography session and an evening dinner party in Peter Island private wine room. The chef prepares a personalized five-course meal, complete with wine pairing and of course, a lavish cake-cutting ceremony. The evening culminates with dancing under the starts to a Caribbean trio.

Take Me Away: Couples Sans Souci

Terrica Talk

I must say that I am completely biased with this week’s selection. It is where Captain America and I renewed our vows and was our first of many trips to the beautiful country that is Jamaica. As a matter of fact—see that little gazebo? That’s where our ceremony was!

Originally operating as its own resort, Sans Souci in Ocho Rios was purchased by Couples Resorts and added to their collection of beautiful Jamaican resorts. Everything from their delectable restaurants such as the Casanova (our favorite) to romantic and eclectic lounges like the Balloon Bar, there are so many hidden treasures and fun experiences lying within the gorgeous resort. Everything is very slow paced, comforting and visually stimulating—perfect for your honeymoon, destination wedding or getaway.

I love and miss you Sans Souci! (You too, Captain America 🙂 )

Getting Your Bridesmaids Acquainted

Terrica Talk, Wedding Advice

Part of the fun in choosing your bridal party (and sometimes much to your chagrin of having to decide who makes the cut) is mixing some of the most important people in your life. You have people who love you and have been with you at various stages in your life. Even though their common thread is you, you just know they would love each other once they get together. Here are some innovative ways to do something special for your friends to create a welcoming, fun atmosphere:

Spa Picture with candles Spa Parties: Spa parties allow everyone to take a break from their busy lives, relax and make new friends. You can book something at a local salon or spa or have a licensed masseuse come in to your own location. Plan to have your infused waters, teas, robes, and candles to create an atmosphere of relaxation, peace and fun. Add some light foods and music and you have a special time on your hands!

Swap Party: These can be exciting and a great way to get rid of clothes that fill your closet that you have never worn (or will never wear again!). Your friends can bring everything from clothes to shoes to jewelry to swap with other participants at your party. Paired with great hors d’oeuvres and wine, you’ve got some of the best staples in life: good friends, good food and clothes!

Spirits Tasting Party: Nothing is more fun than getting your girlfriends together for great food and drinks. At your spirits tasting party, you can pick out some of your favorite ideas for your signature drink at your wedding reception and get feed back from your girls. Have them bring some of their favorite recipes or check for some of our favorite cocktail recipes, because you know we’d never steer you wrong.
