I love weddings that glow with personality.. They carry warmth in the air, laughter lingers, and they are classically beautiful because they look entirely unique. Aliya and Joshua’s Miami backyard wedding felt like that. Felt like them. Full of color, music and joy. We were able to make it so meaningful because these two beautiful people trust me.
They rented a private estate in February. Lakeside, golden hour, a glittering fountain—yes, Pinterest worthy, but real. The ceremony was framed by a chuppah and four floral pedestals. Everything was timed around the light of the day.
Aliya thrifted her dress—because obviously. A literal showstopper that somehow managed to feel couture and deeply her. She’s a jewelry artist, an extroverted whirlwind, the kind of bride who makes a mismatched bridal party look like a fashion campaign. Joshua was somehow the polar opposite but perfect compliment. Chill, soft-spoken, a music producer who was clearly just thrilled to be marrying his best friend. The way he looked at her…
Okay, back to the party.
This wedding wasn’t about trends. It was about them. She wanted paper lanterns and string lights overhead (“non-negotiable”) and a layout that didn’t feel too structured. So we layered intention underneath every detail: classic wood chairs, ivory linens, clean lines, and then let the color—florals, mismatched dresses, that glowing Miami sky—do all the talking.
The ceremony followed Jewish tradition, with Israeli elements woven throughout. One of my favorite moments? A live hand drum band playing as the ceremony began. And the Hora? Everything the movies show it to be.
It was a wedding that didn’t want to be too loud but refused to be forgettable. One where the timeline flowed (of course) and the toasts hit right on time. Where the setting set the stage for the story..
And yes, people are still talking about it.
“Alianne is easy to work with, detail oriented, and has an eye for design, making sure that everything was perfect on our day. Her day of coordination was so seamless that even now, one year later, our guests are still talking about how well the day flowed and how beautiful it was. Alianne has a wide network of vendor connections and every vendor she recommended was the best. They were excited to work with her and therefore excited to work with us. I’m grateful Alianne was able to coordinate our wedding and would recommend working with her if you get the chance!”

“Alianne did an amazing job coordinating our wedding. From start to finish the event flowed smoothly and everything was kept on track. My wife and I were so thankful that we didn’t have to stress about coordinating with vendors or moving our event along on the big day.
Alianne was also extremely helpful before the wedding in the planning process. She was easy to work with, never got stressed, and was reliable the whole way through. We never had to worry about following up with vendors or going back and forth with them about event specifics because we knew that Alianne had it covered. She even recommended some other vendors for us such as the DJ, florist, and rental company. I would absolutely recommend her services.”
