We all know celebrities and/or well known people are more extravagant than the rest of us and can afford to do anything they want, whenever they want (at least most of the time) so why would there marriage proposals be anything but ordinary? Here are a few famous wedding proposals that we think deserve mentioning and just maybe some of you might find a bit of inspiration to pop THE question in a more “original” way.
Jacqueline Kennedy and John F. Kennedy began dating in 1951. Jackie was a career woman, a professional media journalist who was dedicated to her work. when she came back from covering Queen Elizabeth the II coronation in England, she found a 2.88 carat diamond ring, alongside a one carat emerald waiting in John’s hand, who would say no?
For all you Christmas lover’s, this might be a good one to try, and this holiday is quickly coming up. The setting was a wintery, Christmas Toronto, where Dean McDermott took then girlfriend Tory Spelling to a Christmas tree farm! A fabulous Christmas set-up was waiting. A romantic dinner followed and the ring was accepted.
The ring isn’t everything according to Bill and Hillary Clinton. The power couple began dating while attending Yale in 1970. In 1975, Bill decided to buy a house that Hillary really liked and that was it. He told her he couldn’t live in it alone so she needed to marry him, and so she did. 30 years later Bill finally gave Hillary a 3 carat diamond ring.
Usually the guy asks the girl to marry him right? Well not in Pink’s case. In 2005 during one of Carey Hart’s motocross races Pink decided to pop-the question. She stood on the sidelines of one of the racetracks curves and held a sign up which said “Will you marry me?” Girl power! The rest was history.
How about a helicopter ride to the Whistler Glaciers in British Columbia, Canada? That’s what Seal did. He took super model girlfriend Heidi Klum on an awesome chopper ride to the beautiful glaciers where he had built a special Igloo at more than 14,000 ft. above sea level! We think the igloo might have melted due to the burning love.
We hope you’ve been inspired!

For as long as ive known, engagement rings have always been that unmistakable simple diamond on a platinum or gold setting, the traditional ring you might say, but ever more frequently has the engagement ring trend been about “setting” aside the traditional and coming up with original and bold ring ideas. Bigger and different is better jewelers say, and what people are looking for nowadays. Since now engagement rings are not only the symbol of the engagement itself but usually, not always, the one item that defines the relationship the couple has and of course, each persons personality. Engagement rings should show off the persons individuality is the norm in today’s modern society.
Thus most brides are shying away from traditional an opting for a ring that showcases their individual personality.
Vintage
Color. We can thank Duchess Kate for this trend.
BIG. We can thank big-name celebrities.
Shapes, not round!
Custom rings
Mixed metals
Our tip: talk and know your bride. Ask her what she likes and give her something with meaning. A ring she can identify with is worth more than a super expensive, over the top one.

The brides most important accessory, her wedding bouquet, is the one element where she can give way to her imagination and create her own very special bouquet. The possibilities are endless. Colors, textures, natural flowers, artificial flowers, stones, pearls, ribbons, or whatever the future Mrs. would like to incorporate in her statement bridal accessory, she can do it. However, although wedding bouquet’s offer the bride this great flexibility, there two very important details bride’s must keep in mind when creating their statement accessory, such as; the bouquet’s size and that it remains cohesive with the wedding décor.
The most ideal place to start the bouquet quest, is by first choosing the style and type of bouquet you prefer. Keep in mind that it is important to choose the size of the bouquet in proportion to the brides size and stature. You wouldn’t want your bouquet to over power your wedding dress, or overpower you! Thus it is super important that you have great communication with your wedding planner and your florist so that they are able to define your exact style and taste so as to create the ideal wedding bouquet for you! Here are some ideas…..
Remember that your bridal bouquet is your made-to-order accessory and the one you will sadly and probably give away. Your dress, makeup, hair and jewels already make you look stunning, the perfect bridal bouquet to fit you will make you look like a princess! At one point during your wedding reception, the bouquet will become the center of attention, so giving it your special mark is a must.

It’s no secret that wedding planning is stressful and time-consuming, so in order to feel and look your best on THE day, a strict beauty and health regimen is in order. Read on for some of our tips for the month prior to your wedding.
1. Protect your skin! We all want a fabulous tan, especially for our wedding but not using sunscreen can NEVER be an option. you should wear sunscreen all day, everyday, during the month prior to your wedding. If you don’t already do so, do it then, your skin will thank you for it. No dark spots or wrinkles. Plus you don’t want to be overly-tan wearing a white wedding dress. Too much of a tan can be a big wedding and fashion no no.
2. Take care of your hair! Sea, sun, heat and chlorine can be very damaging to your gorgeous locks and great wedding hair is always a must. If your planning on spending a few days basking in the Cabo sun before your destination wedding, then don’t forget to use a good scalp and hair sunscreen to protect your hair so it looks healthy and shiny.
3. Do a cleanse or detox! Cleansing isn’t just about loosing some extra pounds. its about getting rid of unnecessary toxins and “crap” your body is storing. And the way to get those out, is to cleanse and what better time to “clean yourself” from the inside-out but the month before a new chapter in your life begins. Keep in mind there are many many different kinds of cleanses, varying in the amount of days the cleanse lasts or in what form your consuming the nutrients you need. But if your not a cleanse type of gal or guy, try a simple 3 day juice and veggie cleanse. We promise even your skin will notice the difference.
4. Keep a healthy diet rich in fruits, veggies and proteins. Swap sugary foods for fruit and reduce the amount of bread you consume and don’t skip meals!
5. Create and follow a beauty routine daily. Wash, exfoliate and hydrate are the 3 main steps you cannot miss! Again if your having a gorg Cabo beach wedding, an easy and practical body exfoliant is to take beach sand and ocean water, with its detoxifying properties, and give yourself a good scrub. Couldn’t get any simpler, with readily available Cabo sand.
6. Hydrate, hydrate, hydrate! Two liters of water a day is a must. especially if your in Cabo’s sunny weather.
7. Always wear your sunglasses! The skin around our eyes is 4 times more fragile than the skin on the rest of our face. Protect it the most by not letting any sun touch it and no one will ever be able to know your true age. Jessica Alba always wears her sunnies while basking in the Cabo sun during her vacations.
8. Exercise and play sports. We bet you’ve heard when people say exercising releases endorphins and endorphins make people happy. Well its so true. You’ll be happy, fit and toned!
9. Relax! Check out the Cabo spa’s, get a few massages, let yourself be pampered. It is the month before your wedding so pampering and de-stressing is in order. This is your time.

Let me just say that this wedding was not only amazingly beautiful but so magical. You could feel the love this couple has for each other from miles away.
The first time that Kenya & Byron heard about Los Cabos as an option for a Destination Wedding spot was in the Fall of 2011 at a Wedding Expo in New York. They won a trip to the Pueblo Bonito Pacifica Resort and fell in love with the idea of having their wedding in Los Cabos and at this gorgeous Holistic Resort on the Pacific side of Cabo.
Their venue choice was also a very smart one since Cabo and Baja Sur as a whole get quite hot during the summer months, especially July through September, but the Pacific side is a perfect choice since it’s a bit cooler. One of the many reasons why Cabo is such an awesome place for a destination wedding year-round.
After some searching they decided to contact us at Style Weddings & Events for their destination wedding site visit where we took them to some of the most popular restaurants like The Office at Medano beach and also arranged a Sunset Cruise so they could really get a sense of the wonderful place Cabo is and show them all it has to offer. They stayed at the Pacifica resort, their venue choice, and also got to visit it’s sister property the Pueblo Bonito Sunset Beach.
The wedding month came fast! They loved their Sunset Cruise so much that for their first event, Kenya and Byron took their guests on the same cruise they had been on, which of course had an open bar and appetizers and where guests got to see the famous Cabo Arch and Lovers Beach.
On July 20th, everything was ready for a 5:30 pm ceremony on the beach with a beautiful huppah decorated with flowers and crystal clear hanging gems. Famous minister Marco Arechiga performed the ceremony while a trio composed of a harp, a guitar and a violin played some lovely tunes.
Kenny had chosen blush and white colors for her bouquet and picked peonies and roses as her wedding flowers. The Bridesmaids wore romantic peach colored dresses while the bride wore a mermaid, strapless cut wedding dress that fit her like a glove.
The reception décor was simple yet very elegant and tasteful, just as the couple wanted. Multi-level flower arrangements and candles, all in a blush and white color palette adorned the dinner tables at the Sky Pool Terrace of the Pueblo Bonito Pacifica resort. With the Pacific ocean and the desert sand dunes as background, not much needed to be done.
Guests enjoyed a delicious three course dinner and an a even more delicious red velvet cake which looked like a piece of art. An awesome DJ had guests dancing the night away. The once in a life time event ended with the release of fire lanterns where each guest could send their special wishes off into the universe.
A very special thank you to Rebecca Marie Photography for her amazing photos and work.

Getting married has to be one of the most magical experiences. Add to that some amazing music and you’ll be sure everyone will have a blast, so here are a few wedding song ideas we think would be amazing at a beach destination wedding. if your having your wedding not just in Mexico but in Cabo! then your music must be beach-wedding worthy and fitting to complement the fabulous setting that is Los Cabos.
I have personally always enjoyed listening to the beatles, who doesn’t really……and this song pretty much sums up what a wedding is all about.
If you have a old-style in you and feel like being a bit more original than the rest of the guys and gals getting hitched out there, then you might like this next idea. Listen to the lyrics, I promise you’ll love it just like I do. Totally unexpected!
This next song can only be described as whimsical, romantic and totally rock and roll! It has just enough beat and pzaz to make it a fun yet romantic take on the ol’ wedding song. Plus the Stones can rarely be beat in the music department. A Cabo wedding will never be the same. Love the tune and a perfect complement to the bride on her day!
I think this next song would be a perfect first dance song just because the melody and lyrics capture the emotion of such a special day! Not too commercial or recent but very fitting for the occasion. Romance at its best.
For a more modern take on the wedding song, try a little pop-rock, and Phillip Phillips “Home” really makes you feel warm and fuzzy inside, with a little bit of cool.
There is no way on earth you can go wrong with these next two culture classics. “L-O-V-E” and “At Last”. Listening to them will make you feel the happiest on your special day and you will sure put a smile on people’s faces.
Our last, but certainly not the least special of our wedding song ideas, is none other but the very special song Prince William and Duchess Kate chose for their nuptials. Which happened to be Princess Diana’s favorite song by her favorite artist and dear friend Sir Elton John. Bring some royalty in to your wedding with this sweet tune. A true favorite!
ENJOY!!

Hands down the most popular wedding element to arise in the past few years, the candy bars and dessert tables have become a must-have item at weddings big and small! So popular in fact, that many couples are choosing to opt-out of a traditional wedding cake, and instead going for a super elaborate and delicious dessert table.
Both are buffet style, which makes offering these tasty treats a whole lost easier since people can just grab and go.
The key to making your candy bar and/or dessert table as close to your taste as possible lies in the details. You don’t need to spend loads and loads to achieve an amazing dessert table or candy bar, you do however need to focus on the right plates, containers etc in which the delicious treats will be placed. Then, the personalization of each item with tags, ribbons and of course, whatever you offer your guests should always be delicious! Even if you decide on using store bought individual cakes, its all about presentation!
A combination of the two also works perfect as well! Mix candy with yummy desserts and even popcorn! The idea is to create your own tables with your most favorite guilty pleasures and of course make them look beautiful for your wedding. If you plan on getting married in Cabo, in an amazing beach destination wedding then you’d might want to consider incorporating some traditional Mexican candy and desserts.

All brides and grooms wish to have an almost perfect if not perfect wedding day and this does not come easy. Help is necessary! Yet many brides believe they can pull off their event on their own or with just their families help. We beg to differ; too many emotions and ideas will arise. Not that it wouldn’t be possible, but the perfection you seek might come at a hefty price. So, why is a wedding planner necessary? Well for one, having a professional with you every step of the wedding planning process and the wedding itself is the key difference between having an ok wedding to a fabulous, once in a lifetime wedding!
Gaby Ruiz, Style Wedding’s & Event’s head planner.
The two most important aspects of a wedding planners job is the planning and organization of the wedding and the design of the event. The planning and organization consists of taking care of all legal and religious aspects, hiring vendors, logistics, decision making and well you guessed it, planning and taking care of the event’s every last detail. The design aspect is where a planners creativity and originality shine. At Style, we are always striving to create the most unique and original weddings in Cabo. We offer the bride and groom our knowledge and experience and share our ideas so their wedding dreams become reality.
In our view, what makes a great wedding planner is their capacity for getting to know their client. The more you know your clients likes and dislikes the better and more successful an event you’ll have. Details are super important to a good wedding planner, so be sure that at Style we are careful about thinking of everything!!!!!
Lastly, a good wedding planner will always speak the truth. Even if we try to move earth, land and sea (this is a very common Mexican expression) to accommodate your dreams to your budget and not everything can be done we will tell you. Honesty is the best policy, yet be sure that we will find ways to replace some of your dreams with new and better ones if this happens to you. We are here to serve you! This is your special day!

Spring & Summer days are here and with them come beautiful flower blooms in all sorts of shapes, sizes and colors! I personally love this time of year because so many of the prettier flowers are in season thus you can most likely get the specific flowers you want for the right price!
Flowers are especially important in weddings. A key component of almost every wedding, flowers play a pivotal role in wedding décor as well as just all around wedding harmony. So how to pick the right flowers? Well we’ve compiled some of the season’s blooms so choosing the right flower or flowers for your big day is a bit easier. Keep in mind that if your having a destination wedding you might want to talk to your wedding planner about using some local flowers in order to get more bang for your buck! If Cabo is your wedding destination choice then you might want to look in to bougambilias or even desert plants like cactus which have some very pretty flowers.
Tulips
Ranunculus
Peonies
Lily’s, including Casablanca’s and Calla Lilies
Hydrangeas
Unique, flawless & romantic weddings!
