Reception: Dr Phillips Center of Performing Arts

Event Date : 11/23/2019 and 11/24/2019

Sometimes in life, two really is better than one! Amanda and Kyle definitely used this philosophy when planning their two-day nuptials this past November. Kyle and Amanda celebrated their Indian Hindu traditions by hosting a two-day wedding celebration in Orlando. Their first ceremony was a vibrant and colorful, traditional Hindu ceremony at Bramble Tree Estate, while the day two wedding reception was a black-tie affair at the Dr. Phillips Center for the Performing Arts!! We love the mix of traditions, and a variety of customs that the bride and groom shared with their guests. We lived being apart of Amanda and Kyle’s special day. We helped Amanda find her wedding dress for her reception at the Dr. Phillips Center. The Bridal Finery Owner & Stylist, Tali Gallo styled Amanda for her day two wedding in Orlando. Amanda said ‘yes’ to the ‘Domenica’ wedding dress by Reem Acra. Tali also helped Amanda find perfect wedding jewelry to pair with her wedding dress. Amanda wore jewelry and a hairpiece by Maria Elena Headpieces. Her second-day wedding dress was nothing short of perfection. Congratulations, Amanda and Kyle!

How did you & your partner meet? : We met at the age of 12 through mutual family friends.

Where was your first date? : I wish I could remember (lol).

How did your partner propose? : We decided to take a trip in the mist of our busy schedules and day to day life. We ventured off to Tulum, Mexico. To say it was the most magical place we visited thus far does not do it justice. On our second to last night, we decided to go swimming in our private pool on our rooftop villa. It was golden hour, right before the sun was setting, Kyle asked me to come out of the pool for a moment. He held my hand and expressed his love for me, got down on one knee and asked me to marry me! It was intimate and embodied who we are a couple. It was a moment we will treasure forever.

What was your dress shopping experience like? : It was incredible. Tali was so warm and accommodating. She made my mom, family, and I feel at home. The one to one consultation and fittings are so personal and intimate. Working with Tali, Jamie, and Sarah was so heartwarming and everything I envisioned my dress shopping experience to be.

What did you wish you knew before you started wedding planning?: Do not get a full time planner! Research and see what your vision is. Find the perfect vendors that can bring it life and get a day of coordinator to have it all run smoothly.

Where was your wedding? What did you decide on that space?: Bramble Tree Estate and Dr Phillips Center. I always loved the outdoors and envisioned my ceremony outside to concentrate on a bohemian theme. I also loved the minimal and modern theme which completely encompasses the Dr Phillips Center.

What's your favorite memory from your event? : The Hindu ceremony. It includes so many significant and meaningful steps and moments.

What is a 'must have' for brides on wedding day?: A support system that will ensure this is your day and that stress and negative energy are left at the door!

How would you describe the overall feel of your event? : Effortless. Infused with love, laughter, and nonstop partying!

What wedding planning advice do you have for other brides? : Commit to your vision, do not let anyone tell you cannot do something, where this is a will,there is a way.
