Picture-perfect weddings don't just happen, they're planned, that's what this couple learned from their destination wedding in Aruba. Thankfully, they hired a great planner from the start, one who knew the area and understood their vision. From the color palette to the photography and everything in between, Dee Lee Designs and their team coordinated every detail and made Joi and Kin's dream wedding a reality. We love that this couple made a point to document every special moment and even made time for a special couple's photoshoot with...wait for it...flamingos! See all the flamingos in the gallery.
There isn't a venue we've seen that is more perfect than this one for a beach wedding. The blue sky and crystal clear waters were the perfect complement to the soft pink color palette that the florist tied in beautifully to these delicate floral arrangements. These bright photos by Tin Photography may seem too good to be true, but we promise, this is a #realwedding!
Joi and Kin were friends for ten years before they officially dated. As they say, the rest was history. Kin proposed on an island and it only made sense for them to get married on an island.
The pandemic hit and they had to wait two years to celebrate with their closest family and friends. It was truly "One Happy Island" in Aruba. Aruba is home to beautiful white-sand beaches and flamingos.
One Happy Island Is About to Make Every Couple’s Dreams Come True
Aruba Wedding Designed For Paradise
From The Planner -I started working with Dee about three months before my destination wedding in Aruba. I was overwhelmed and wanted to work with a wedding planner that had my back, has industry savviness, and close network with other vendors, and most importantly, could bring my vision to life! Fast forward and we've been married now for a week and had time to reflect on our experience, and I can wholeheartedly say, I would hire Dee again and again, if I could, for all my life events!
She is not only fantastic and passionate about what she does, she truly cares for her bride and groom, and the entire bridal party. She counseled us on what was worth splurging on and provided creative options to stay within budget, and she worked hard to build great chemistry with all of the other vendors and resort staff on our team. As soon as we all arrived in Aruba, Dee and Judy were on-call and ready to support me regardless of the ask - whether it was the rehearsal dinner plans, putting together welcome bags, last-minute re-designs, healing a finger wound, or just checking in to make sure I was breathing, staying calm, and just enjoying myself instead of worrying. We got our dream wedding because we made one of the best decisions to go with Dee!
The budget for this wedding was $60,000. Please note that prices may change, this is just an example of what a wedding like this may cost.
