Sandals Real Wedding: Brandi and Dave’s Sweet and Stylish “I Do’s”

When Brandi and Dave got engaged, they both knew they wanted to have a small and private ceremony with their closest friends and family. According to the couple, they decided to have a destination wedding in the beautiful and sunny island of Jamaica so they could have the close and personal wedding of their dreams and their guests could have an experience to remember.

This sweet, and stylish Sandals real wedding featuring an elegant, classic bride and a pretty snazzy tie, was designed by the couple themselves; including a steel drum band, tropical flower decorations and hanging lanterns. We have to say, everything came together beautifully!

“I wanted to “wow” my future husband and feel sexy, classy and beautiful”, Brandi said about her dress choice. For being only the second dress she tried on, we’d say Brandi definitely nailed it with this wedding dress. Brandi’s dress was a classic, couture gown made of all lace with rhinestones for a touch of glamour and a halter top. To keep the look simple, Brandi added tear-drop, diamond earrings, a diamond tennis bracelet and opted for flowers in her hair instead of a veil for a “tropical feel.” 

Stylish Bridesmaid: We are so in love with this deep coral maid-of-honor dress, styled with turqoise earrings and a gold-trimmed bracelet.

“I’ll never forget seeing my dad when I was walking to our ceremony location, he was smiling so big and when I walked up he told me I looked absolutely stunning. My dad is a man of few words so to hear those words calmed my nerves and made me even more excited to walk down the aisle to my future husband. “- Brandi

The undeniable chemistry between Brandi and Dave radiated throughout all of their wedding photos; especially this photo of their first dance to a calypso band.

“I always look back and remember that moment when [she] walked around the corner to the aisle and I had my first glimpse of her. At that moment I knew I was about to marry my best friend and the most beautiful woman I had ever laid eyes on.”  -Dave on his favorite wedding memory.

“We [want to] thank the entire staff at Sandals Montego Bay for making our special day unforgettable. A very special thanks to Marsha, our wedding planner, for EVERYTHING, to Orville our photographer for taking the most beautiful pictures for us to remember and to our butlers Shoval and Craig for keeping us on track and treating us like royalty! You truly made our destination wedding a trip to remember! “- Brandi and Dave.
