Real Brides: Nicole G – caught on tape!

Bride: Nicole G
Date: June 20, 2009
Location: Puerto Rico
Fascinator: Ella, by Kasia Fink

That sounds sort of scandalous doesn’t it, “Caught on tape!” I assure you it’s not. I blame my cheesy factor – it goes up when I get excited.

You see, I recently got an email from one of my destination brides, Nicole G, with not only some photos of her gorgeous Puerto Rico wedding… but also a video!

Ah Puerto Rico. Soft waves, pink skies and waving palms… I almost feel like I was right there with her.

Unfortunately I’m unable to embed it but just follow this link to Unique Video Productions and click on the video of Nicole + Ryan to see for yourself.

Here are a couple stills from the video, which shows Nicole’s Ella Fascinator (by yours truly).

Nicole actually ended up with two Ellas after what very nearly became a fascinator disaster!

She received the first one in the middle of an unprecedented heat wave.  When she opened it, she found that it was so hot, the purple tissue paper her fascinator was wrapped in had started to melt and that the petals of her lovely Ella were tinged in purple dye.

Amazingly, she wrote me a calm email thanking me for the package and mentioning the issue just to let me know that maybe I wanted to look into a different tissue paper supplier.

Of course I said, WHAT?!?!? and shipped her out a brand new one immediately – which arrived just in the nick of time before she left for her trip.

Whew…..!

It all turned out fabulously. And bonus: Nicole’s lovely mom got to wear the slightly tinged fascinator in her hair! (It’s not hard to see where this bride gets her pretty from, is it?)

Here are just a few more photos that Nicole kindly shared with us:

Thanks so much for sharing your beautiful DW with us, Nicole. Happy, happy sunset strolls to you both.
