Interview with the amazing Kris + Vin:
HOW DID YOU MEET? We met at a NYC bar 12 years back and later reconnected.
WHAT ATTRACTED YOU THE MOST TO YOUR HUSBAND/WIFE?
Vin: Krissy’s outgoing personality, and her way of getting me to come out of my shell.
Kristen: Vin’s love for his family and friends showed me how beautiful his heart is. Not to mention, he is pretty easy on the eyes.
HOW DID HE PROPOSE? It was Christmas Eve, he brought me to a beautiful brunch on the water and later walked me out onto the pier overlooking the city where he popped the question!
WHAT INSPIRED YOUR VISION FOR YOUR WEDDING? We wanted our wedding to reflect our personalities. We wanted it to be understated but still beautiful. We were in the keys, there is not much you have to do ☺
TELL US ABOUT FINDING YOUR VENUE: Cheeca was the first venue we looked at for the wedding. We actually put planning on hold and 2 years after the fact decided it was perfect for what we were envisioning. We made the call and the rest was history.
WHAT WAS YOUR BIGGEST PLANNING CHALLENGE? Vin and I made a pact that we were not going to stress about the wedding. We were both in agreement this was a celebration, and we wanted to enjoy every minute. That being said our most difficult challenge was the wedding was a destination, making it difficult at times to meet with our vendors.
WHAT WAS YOUR FAVORITE DESIGN ELEMENT OF YOUR WEDDING? I could not have pictured a more beautiful wedding. From the flowers, to the tables, to our vintage splashes throughout, it was picture perfect. Our vendors did an incredible job!
DID YOU HAVE ANY DIY DETAILS? Yes, I do not think we really took into account how much work goes into a wedding lol. We had several DIY details. Our favorite being the welcome bags for our guests, enclosed with goodies and our “favorite” local spots.
WHAT WAS THE MOST MEMORABLE MOMENT OF YOUR WEDDING DAY? Being surrounded by so much love. I remember looking around and the smiles and laughter were simply priceless. We were fortunate to have several days of fun with our closest friends and family! Although our dearest friend Kyle circling the reception on a Schwin was a monumental moment for sure!
DESCRIBE YOUR CAKE: It was delicious, need we say more?
HOW WAS YOUR EXPERIENCE WITH YOUR PHOTOGRAPHER? INCREDIBLE! We felt like we knew them for years. Jason and Sara had a way of easing our nerves and allowed us to enjoy ourselves and just be silly. We had an absolute blast with them. Best part, our guests loved them as much as we did.
WHAT’S NEXT FOR YOU AND YOUR HUSBAND AS A COUPLE? We are still smiling from ear to ear! We plan to extend this “honeymoon” stage as long as possible.
