ABC Member Planners: Alexandre Lemaire & Aurelia de Haut, Aurelia Eventos, Delegacion Miguel Hidalgo México, (+52) 55 5253 6016/5251 9901, info@aureliaeventos.com, www.aureliaeventos.com.Non-member businesses involved: Banquetes Kohlmann, Paula Perdomo.Photography:  Dear.mx (arnaud Zein el Din), Salvador CarmonaThe Couple: Yadhira is a famous actress in Mexico and Juan is an important lawyer. Their wedding was highly broadcast and was considered by many as the wedding of the year in Mexico. Yadhira is a perfectionist and passionate about flower design (she owns an exclusive flower design boutique). This made the creation process even more exciting.INSPIRATION: Classical, romantic elegance with a theatrical appeal.Color palette: Silver, ivory, rose, violet.Guest Count: 800.Most unique design element: Six-meter high chandeliers made of flowers. We designed an iron structure and began putting the flowers into it two days before the wedding. Aside from the chandeliers, this event had stunning décor, including around 400,000 roses. It was a fantastic party, with a lot of live music and shows, including Julio Iglesias.Biggest challenge: Our biggest challenge was building the structure to hang the lighting, sound system, and chandeliers in a 17th century building. The challenges were first to make it possible. We had fit the needs of Julio Iglesias’ rider with the capacities of the patio and focus on the fact that it was a wedding and not a concert. Secondly, we had to build an architectural structure that protected the original building and did not touch it.Insight: The wedding went perfectly, thanks to good planning and very professional and passionate people. This event reinforced the importance of taking time to do things well, having a deep connection with the bride, and working with people you really trust. These are critical with such a large event that had around 500 professionals working on various days to pull it off!
