Hand us some sunglasses because Meredith and Alex’s wedding is full of fabulous bright colours.

This adorable Ohio couple wed on Zimmerman Island, a private residence in their hometown, where they brought all the aspects of their favourite place together for a charming Fiesta Wedding.

Mallory of Maui Creative Design and Photography captured their wedding pictures and had this to say about the couple and their favourite place…

“Meredith and Alex were meant for each other. They went on a vacation to Mexico together, years before they went on their first date, but didn’t know they were there together. They each went with different groups, to the same resort. Word spread through the resort that there were two groups from Canton, Ohio. Years later when they went on their first date, those puzzle pieces fell together to lay the foundation for a romantic and heartfelt story that is their life.”

Our favourite thing about this wedding – the way all the pretty colours scream “sunshine and happy days!”

Congratulations to the happy couple and thank you for sharing your joyful wedding pictures with One Stylish Bride.

Lord knows this can be one of the most challenging parts of the wedding planning process. It’s time consuming and involves constant amending.

To make the process quick and easy, we suggest the following:

❤ Use paper plates and slim coloured post-it notes to assign your tables. Use one colour of post-it notes for the groom’s family, a different colour for the bride’s family, and a different colour for friends. This will make it super easy to see where the open seats are located when you need to move people around.

❤ Start assigning seats as the RSVP cards are returned.

❤ Remember mothers, fathers, and grandparents should be seated closest to the head table.

Lets face it, having to go onto a computer seating plan program, re-type names and print another copy is a hassle. That’s why post-it notes and paper plates are fast becoming a brides best friend. This idea is fabulous for the visual couple, but admittedly not ideal if your having over 100 guests, as you may become post-it mad.
