💡 Planning Tip: Use your theme to create memorable experiences for your guests. Custom signage, unique entrances, and thematic details—like a cake inspired by your favorite movie or a playlist that reflects your style—will make your day unforgettable.
Assemble Your Vendor Dream Team

Pro Tips for Planning Your Miami Wedding
Consider the Weather: Miami’s tropical climate is gorgeous but unpredictable. Have a rain plan if you’re hosting outdoor events, and consider providing fans or cold drinks for summer weddings.
Maximize Your Venue: Miami venues, like Vista Lago Ballroom, often feature customizable spaces. Work with the venue team to design a layout that suits your guest list and theme.
Plan for Transportation: Miami traffic can be tricky, especially for out-of-town guests. Partnering with a reliable transportation service like @aralimo can keep everything on schedule.
Embrace Local Flair: From Cuban-inspired cocktails to tropical florals, adding Miami-inspired touches can elevate your wedding’s atmosphere and make it memorable for guests.
Invest in Photography and Videography: Your wedding day goes by quickly, but photos and videos last forever. Work with professionals like @mkphotography_bykarina and @jcp_films to capture every special moment.
