DANIELLE NAUGHTON and Christopher Elrod met each other six years ago through friends while attending college in their hometown, Charlotte, United States. "I always knew she was special," stated Christopher, revealing a proud smile. "I was quite eager and a bit nervous the night I proposed."
Christopher had planned a romantic evening on the beach in his hometown with the intent of popping the big question! His dreams came true the moment Danielle said yes.
Both Danielle and Christopher beamed with joy on their wedding day at Sandals Royal Caribbean in Montego Bay. The officiating minister was Rev'd Terrence Neil Gordon.
The couple took advantage of Preston Bailey's Floral Elegance Collection. This was the first wedding that the celebrity event designer and wedding planner, was doing in Jamaica.
Bailey has done weddings for Donald and Melania Trump, and Michael Douglas and Katherine Zeta Jones. He's also put together parties for Oprah Winfrey and Donna Karan, to name a few.
DIVINE ROMANCE
His design was set amid arched gazebos embellished with hanging white pagoda flower ball ornaments and garlands at the base, to emphasise the drama of divine romance. The bridal bouquet, a cluster of pagoda flowers complemented the groom's boutonnière and was in sync with the décor.
The wedding cake, a two-tiered butter-cream iced novelty, adorned with sugar pagoda flowers on a clear cake stand was perfectly integrated into the elegant floral theme.
"Preston Bailey designed a special collection of wedding packages to enhance the Caribbean feel, which is perfect for everyone, including Jamaicans who wish to get married in fine style," stated Leighton Josephs, sales manager at Sandals Royal Caribbean. "Our off-shore island is the perfect icing on the cake, particularly for large weddings and persons who desire an exclusive setting."
