Surprise Your Guests!
The Hidden Ceremony
On the day of the wedding, Michelle and her associate, Claudia Charles, arranged for a stylish “photo op,” complete with red carpet, to greet the guests upon their arrival. “We then ushered everyone to the hotel’s rooftop bar and lounge, where they sipped cocktails and mingled while waiting for the ‘awards ceremony’ and ‘chef’s competition’ to begin. What they didn’t know was that the floor-to-ceiling curtains were concealing the ceremony space!”
As the guests sipped champagne, the bride and groom waited patiently in their respective hotel rooms. “When it was time to let the guests in on the secret, the curtains were pulled back to reveal the elegant ceremony space, complete with stark white chairs adorned with deep red pomander balls.
“We had coordinated with the DJ company to play a video of the groom’s proposal on two large flat-screen televisions in the ceremony space.” The guests erupted into cheers and laughter — as they realized they were about to witness a wedding.
Emotions ran high as the Flore Events team escorted the bride’s sister, who also had no idea about the surprise nuptials, to see the beautiful bride. A vision in a Pnina Tornai creation, the bride walked down the aisle to cheers and tears, while TLC’s “Say Yes to the Dress” captured it all.
After the ceremony, another set of curtains were pulled back to reveal a richly-appointed dining room. The guests were treated to a delicious buffet dinner before retiring to what was formerly the ceremony space.
