“A wedding is one of the most special moments in a person’s life,” says Joann Delgin, Director of Romance, Sandals Resorts. “We are honored to be a part of this new relationship with Martha Stewart, offering our couples six customizable experiences from one of the most internationally-known wedding experts.”
Stated MSLO Founder Martha Stewart: “We’re delighted to be working with Sandals Resorts to guide engaged couples down the aisle and help make their destination wedding unforgettable. With an array of themes to choose from, each one offering coordinated elements and special details, every couple will be able to celebrate their special day in their own personal style.”
The six Sandals Weddings by Martha Stewart themes include:
Vision in White
The classic white wedding you’ve always envisioned takes on a dreamier quality when transported to a lush island setting. Hints of eyelet and lace grace every detail, from the party favors to the desserts and delicate white orchids and gladiolas make up the bouquet. You have the choice of an elegant white cake or cupcakes, both decorated with doily accents. White pillar candles wrapped in eyelet fabric cast a soft, romantic glow over the reception table for an exquisite setting you’ll remember for a lifetime.
Seaside Serenade
Capture the romantic spirit of the ocean’s sweet, flowing melody with the Seaside Serenade wedding, featuring accents inspired by the sun, sand, and surf of an island oasis. Exchange vows under a bamboo ceremony arch strung with strands of capiz shells, then enjoy your reception at a beautiful table set with seashell, coral, and sand accents. You have the choice of an aqua fondant cake with white coral accents or cupcakes topped with white sugar seashells. Every delightful detail, in white, aqua, and coral, evokes the natural beauty of a seaside celebration.
Flutter of Romance
Create a day filled with joyful romance and a playful spirit when you choose the Flutter of Romance wedding. Pretty butterflies add a touch of whimsy to menus and place cards and top the pale pink cake or round mini-cakes for a look that’s charming and sweet. The bridal bouquet, boutonniere, and centerpieces are made of pink and fuchsia roses and magenta orchids that coordinate beautifully with the rest of the décor.
Island Paradise
The Island Paradise wedding brings the soft, warm colors of a Caribbean summer evening to your celebration. Gorgeous orchids arranged in magenta, pink, orange, and yellow reflect the majestic hues of a setting sky and evoke a feel of romantic tropical opulence. Lush banana leaves embellish the bamboo ceremony arch, while natural wood trays filled with tropical fruits and bright blooms serve as the centerpieces. The cake (or square mini-cakes) is trimmed with rattan pattern fondant and covered in fresh orchids for a delightfully Caribbean feel.
Chic & Natural
The Chic & Natural wedding imbues your special day with a feeling of serene enchantment. Clean lines and organic elements set a tranquil tone that is modern and full of romantic charm. The ceremony and reception are accented with white and green orchids, polished black river stones, vibrant green moss, and touches of natural linen. Whether you choose a pale green cake topped with a white camellia or cupcakes topped with small green cymbidium orchids, the Chic & Natural wedding guarantees you’ll start your new life together in style.
Beautiful Beginnings
The Beautiful Beginnings wedding helps you celebrate your special day with elegance and simplicity. It includes a sweet magenta dendrobium bouquet and boutonniere, as well as a table for four with crisp linens, a lovely centerpiece, and a charming white cake. It’s the perfect choice if you’re looking for an intimate and memorable occasion. For couples who book a minimum six-night wedding stay in a concierge category or higher at any Sandals Resort or Beaches Resort, the Beautiful Beginnings will be included at no additional cost.
In addition to the six exquisite wedding themes, couples have the opportunity to enhance their destination wedding with à la carte Finishing Touches for the ceremony and reception. A variety of meaningful and unique style elements are available, including parasols to shield guests from the sun, a petal-strewn aisle lit by floating candles in large glass hurricanes, a candy buffet where guests can help themselves to sweet treats, a romantically lit evening on the beach for you and your guests, and a sand unity ceremony.
