Today, Vanessa Thomé and Alex Lima share the story of their ceremony at the Wedding Pavilion and reception at the Grand Floridian Convention Center’s St. Augustine Ballroom. It was very important to them to incorporate many Brazilian wedding traditions into their event at Disney, and in this episode they talk about how they used multiple outside vendors to accomplish this—from a Brazilian DJ who brought lighting, a dance floor, and video screens to the candymakers who created the mountain of traditional wedding sweets guests could take home as favors. Vanessa also shares how she executed her detailed floral and décor vision—plus, you’ll hear how they managed to sneak in wedding-day fireworks photos without adding a dessert party!
