He lived in Mar del Plata, Argentina, while she lived in Miami. They saw each other on and off for a year, and Javier decided to move to Miami so they could have a closer relationship. Eventually, they decided to wed, and their day was more than they imagined.Involvement: Full consultingInspiration:  A “haunted woods”NyJ-450“Aha” design moment: The whole dance floor was crowned by a huge chandelier that was different from any other, because it was made of mirror tubes that wound around themselves causing a unique, magical light effect.Most unique design element: The chandelier was unique and fragile due to its design. It was definitely our most unique element, enabling us to illustrate our theme more fully.Color palette: Golden huesBudget: PrivateStaff hours: 3 full days, 10 hours per dayPlanning time: 14 monthsClient meetings: Since the couple who was getting married was living abroad, we held four face-to-face meetings and several video conferences. It was an average of one per week for the first several months and two per week during the last two months.Biggest challenge: The greatest challenge was the installation and security involved during the installation of the chandelier—and the guarantee that it would work and be safe for as long as was required.
