I was so excited to work with Priscilla and be a part of a Poppet Studio Wedding on this wedding as the couple were so cute but also because the planning of this wedding was more unique than the traditional wedding. Let me introduce Priscilla ….
PRISCILLA: While this is not the first wedding I have planned it was the first that I planned completely via Texts,email, Facebook Messenger and Whatsapp – you have got to LOVE technology today!!!
I first meet with the Aurelien, Rose and their bride’s maid Paola ( for whom I was also the wedding planner and coordinator) on Aug 27 2016, the day before they would travel to Thailand for a month long vacation with their families.
After a brief discussion with the couple it was apparent that this fun, young couple were going about this quiet differently: “honeymooning” before the wedding and a wedding before the official proposal. I loved that they still referred to each other as boyfriend/girlfriend even moments before they exchanged their vows.
Why I love being a planner:
Watching as families, friends and even strangers come together to share in the joy and love being expressed by a couple warms my hearts.
Because Spotts Beach is a public beach, the couple were not entirely alone with their guests, as many families who enjoy the semi-private setting sat back to witness the beautiful exchange of vows…the children were seen giggling in the background as Aurelien and Rose sealed their union with a KISS! Yes I cried!!! I’m a sucker for Happy Endings.
Working with the Couple:
Aurelien and Rose were a joy to work with. Their love story is like a modern day Disney movie waiting to be written ;). The couple loves Disney movies and we were excited to sneak in a few quotes from Bambi and The Incredibles and have them recognize them immediately.
Working with our local vendors:
The Cayman Islands is a melting pot for people, talents and services and the vendors were amazing in bringing this story to life.
Favourite moments from the wedding:
The Vows – what a heartfelt proclamation of their love.
I loved when the bride finally took her place to begin her walk down the aisle and she could take in all of the decor that she turned to me and expressed how much she loved it.
A simple but elegant spread of canapes, displayed on a rustic table setting made of wood pallets were enjoyed as the couple and their guests mingled as the sun set. Twenty pallets were used to create the rustic table setting and center piece for the reception. Blueberry infused lemonade and cold refreshments were set in a galvanized Metal Tub.
Aurelien and Rose envisioned an intimate and relaxed Rustic wedding and I absolutely loved planning every detail. The couple choose to marry at Spott’s Public Beach and it offered the perfect intimate setting for their wedding.
A custom pallet Welcome Sign, laser cut wood frames with the couples initials, shepherd hooks with mason jars filled with floral; all simple and elegant in their design added to the Rustic theme.
We were delighted to work with Rebecca of Rebecca Davidson Photography – she is such a fun loving and down to earth person that I knew our couple would absolutely love her and LOVE her work as much as we do.

Guests loved the idea of leaving a message in a bottle for the couple to read at a later time.
The romantic release of two sky lanterns was secretly orchestrated by Rose, the bride, as a suprise for Aurelien
