We are back with Marisol + Ellier but this time we are at the reception held at {Deering Estate}. This wedding was planned by {Fabulous Fetes and Events}. We love the tables! How beautiful and classic! Catering by {Macy’s} and wedding cake by {Heavenly Cakes}. According to Marisol + Ellier and many of the guests, the cake was the best they had ever had. This wedding was captured by {Artistry Wedding Films} and {Maloman Photographers}. Check out Maloman’s blog post {here}.
The weather on our wedding day was: Sunny with a big blue sky!
What was the design inspiration for your wedding? A chocolate bamboo motif designed by me. Also, our colors, which were chocolate brown, honeydew green, and patina blue.
Favorite design element of your big day: Our flowers and bamboo details.
Describe your wedding flowers: My bouquet was made up of cascading white phalaenopsis orchids. The bridesmaid’s bouquets were made up of green cymbidium orchids. The flower girl pomanders were made of green mini cymbidium orchids. The reception flowers consisted of white hydrangea, white calla lilies, white gerbera daisies, and white dendrobium orchids.
Describe your wedding cake: Our cake was four tiers. The flavor was Grand Marnier with a hazelnut butter cream filling. Chocolate ribbon was wrapped around the base of each tier. The orchids and bamboo adorning the cake were all made by hand out of sugar. It was gorgeous and delicious!
Our favorite detail of the wedding was: Everything! The whole wedding came together just as we had imagined it would. Each design element complimented the other, but if we had to choose then the cake would be on the top of our list.
Funniest moment? My husband’s Michael Jackson, dance moves always make me laugh.
Hardest decision you made in planning? Having to cut down on our guest list.
Three adjectives that describe the day are: Glamorous, intimate, and perfect.
What advice would you give to someone planning their wedding? Put as much of your own personality into the details as you can. Try to at least do one DIY item, it makes it much more special.
Best advice or most memorable comment someone made to you during the wedding celebration. Everyone commented on how beautiful our reception venue was. They all also commented on how good the cake was.
Who was your most honored guest at the wedding? Our unborn child that is due to arrive in July.
What’s next for you as a couple? What are you looking forward to in the future? Becoming parents is next for us. We are so looking forward to the birth of our baby boy.
Any DIY items? I made the menus, escort cards, favors, table numbers, invitations, bamboo trays, and monograms. I also designed the reception flowers and my lovely coordinator put them together for me that day. Also, my beautiful mantilla veil was made by my grandmother and I.
Congratulations to Marisol + Ellier. We wish you the best and congrats on the little baby boy on its way!
I’m obsessed with everything about this wedding!

I love the simplicity of the Outdoor reception setup in this post. Those finger sandwiches look flat out delicious also.
I didn’t know they had been featured :) It was a pleasant surprise to find this. Marisol & Ellier’s wedding was beautiful. Marisol & I met while I was still engaged so the planning process was about 2 years. I was thrilled when she asked me to be her coordinator and I’m so happy everything came together that day wonderfully. It was my first attempt at floral design and I think I did pretty well LolCongrats to the both of them and I can’t wait to see their little boy!
