Preston Bailey, the internationally celebrated event designer
and wedding planner, has partnered with Sandals Resorts to create a
selection of exceptional wedding packages available exclusively at
Sandals and Beaches Resorts.
Preston, author of Design for Entertaining and Fantasy Weddings,
has personally created one-of-a-kind events for celebrity clients
such as Donald and Melania Trump, Michael Douglas and Catherine
Zeta-Jones, Matt Lauer, Donna Karan and Oprah Winfrey, and now
WeddingMoon" guests can enjoy a Preston Bailey wedding experience
in the idyllic island surroundings of Sandals and Beaches Caribbean
properties.
The packages, offered as an enhancement to the WeddingMoon"
program, include inspired settings for the ceremony, striking
bouquets and flowers, elegant table décor and innovative keepsakes
all designed by Preston Bailey.
Recognized as the world’s preeminent event designer, Preston
brings an incomparable level of artistry and creativity to projects
for all clients. He applies his expertise to produce one-of-a kind
surroundings that evoke awe-inspiring reactions with elegant
materials including a rich interplay of flowers, fabrics, props and
lighting that meld to create an ambiance of color, texture and
mood. Often completely transforming a space, his designs are
inspired by his love of nature, art, history, architecture and
global cultures.
These offerings from Preston Bailey allow those seeking the
perfect destination wedding, an increasingly popular trend, a
higher level of choices for their special day. Each of the four
packages The Floral Elegance Collection ($1,700), The Water Lilly
Collection ($2,600), The Seascape Collection ($3,600) and The
Crystal Collection ($5,000) includes beautifully designed wedding
settings and decor such as fresh contemporary floral screens or a
tree filled with orchids, crystals and candlelight.
Specialty wedding cakes complement the exceptional designs and
the beautiful surroundings. Preston has also created stylish
keepsakes for the bride, groom and guests that include delightful
favors such as exotic petal tossers, palm fans, and elegant amenity
boxes.
Exclusively for the bride, Preston has designed a selection of
unique bouquets that can be kept after the ceremony as a
remembrance. Bouquets are available in a variety of colors and
styles, such as the new pomander, a round arrangement that hangs
from the wrist. For the groom, specialty bowties and boutonnieres
that incorporate local plants and flowers, such as palm and mini
pineapples, are available.
For the ultimate in luxury, Sandals Resorts and Preston Bailey
are also developing one of the most lavish wedding experiences as
the upper tier in package offerings, which includes private jet,
special location, a once-in-a-lifetime musical performance and
more.
Sandals Resorts developed the WeddingMoon" concept over a decade
ago which is the union of the wedding and honeymoon in one idyllic
Sandals Resort location. Currently WeddingMoon" guests who stay for
seven nights or longer receive their wedding ceremony compliments
of the resort.
In addition, for those staying six nights in a premium category
or higher, Sandals gives the happy couple a complimentary wedding
gift, their choice of a stunning 16-piece set of Waterford stemware
or a 20-piece set of Wedgwood china.
Sandals is also pleased to make available to guests elegant and
personalized wedding accessories by the noted Beverly Clark,
original wedding cakes designed by the renowned Sylvia Weinstock
and an exclusive line of Sandals destination wedding gowns by Dessy
Creations.
