Natalie and Michael's Paradise Wedding in Punta Cana
Katya Nova Photography, we get to witness all of the insanely pretty details and moments of their big day.
It is understandably so worrisome to plan a destination wedding, but Jellyfish Restaurant managed to pull off the magical day that came to life with Natalie and Michael's ideas.
The tables complemented the Caribbean restaurant venue to a T; they were adorned with gauzy ivory table runners and atop of them, floral runners with eucalyptus and roses.
Just like the bride in her beach-ready Sottero & Midgley gown, the whole day was an absolute vision!
From the bride, "Our group stayed at Now Larimar. It was great because it is so close to Jellyfish. It was a good size for our group as well (around 60 guests)."
"It was just large enough where we were not on top of each other, but not so large that we never saw anyone."
"The hotel staff treated our group really well all week. They really went the extra mile to take care of us!"
"Krystie Ann did the hair and makeup for myself and my five bridesmaids. We all looked like supermodels! She was so great."
"It was a very long day and a lot of girls but she did a really good job keeping us on track."
"I was nervous not having a hair and makeup trial beforehand, but Krystie saw one picture and knew exactly what I wanted! I can’t say enough good things about her! We were in such good hands!"
"The Jellyfish were so amazing! They literally nailed my vision with minimal communication beforehand."
"We exchanged a few emails with some inspiration pictures and requests and had one phone call before we got there."
"It was so nerve wracking with so little communication but they were awesome. Everyone there was fantastic and helped to make the entire evening go smoothly. My guests still cannot stop talking about it!"
"Katya and Rob were so amazing! They made us feel so comfortable, as we were totally nervous. Being in front of a camera can be so awkward but they made it so relaxed. I love the photos, I am so thrilled! It is amazing how much life they have captured in the images."
"Really slow down and enjoy the day. It literally was the fastest-flying day of my entire life. I cannot even believe how fast it went! Make sure you do not stress, let someone else handle it the day of. You just enjoy it!"
