Our first sunset as husband and wife. The beach is very significant to both of us, we are both of Mediterranean background, we live by the ocean and we knew we would be married by the ocean. We have enjoyed many beautiful sunsets since...

Our florist took our guests' breath away with these centerpieces adorned in its entirety with Black Magic and Black Baccara roses. The candelabras were carefully measured not to block anyone's view.

Our cake design was inspired by our china pattern we had registered. The hand-made sugar roses reflect the fresh roses of the ceterpieces, expertly executed by: KATRINA NAZARETH - THE CAKE GALLERY.

I remember this moment so well, right after our ceremony, feeling perfectly in love with my new angel of a husband, my soulmate, my best friend. It was a perfect moment - although the shore winds wreaked havoc with our hair.

I also love this photo as it shows off my bouquet so well - Our florist hand-attached petals from 120 Black Magic roses around the centers of Black Baccara roses to create single voluminous blooms, which she then accented with Swarovski rhinestones. She then adorned the stem with my late grandmother's brooch.

This is a truly genuine moment. James and I decided to take a few minutes for ourselves before we joined all our guests at the reception. We will always cherish these intimate minutes we shared just the two of us - and our photographer :)

Our reception was outdoors amidst beautiful tropical scenery, we could hear the ocean waves in the near distance. The dupioni silk linens and silk cushions were custom made for each table by our tailor. Our scarlet rich red color palette was an unexpected yet elegant and dramatic choice against the tropical setting. Our guests talk about it to this day. What do you think? I hope you will like it.

The deep red roses make everything so rich about your day, which is in contrast to most beach weddings. I love it!! And your lace dress is stunning!

WOW... You're comments of my wedding left me speechless. I worked very hard, for a long time to have everything in it's place. I was touched our guests expressed they felt the love I tried to create for everyone attending. I'm blown away that you tell me you felt that same love through the simple stream of images I posted. Thank you so much and I wish you and your husband a long life of happiness !

Your wedding photographs are one of the best entries I have seen. You have such fine taste, the elgance of your gown; the richness of the red roses; the table decorations; the cake; your photos tell a beautiful story of your wedding. The colors - just awesome. I would love to see your story in a magazine, very inspiring. I will be getting married in Hawaii in 2009, I will surely look up your photographer. Congrats!

Hello Everyone, Thank you so much for your kind comments, it is so encouraging to hear your generous responses regardless of the outcome of this contest. This is to answer a question in one of the entries: Yes, those are Swarovski rhinestones on my bouquet. Our florist hand-attached petals from 120 Black Magic roses around the centers of Black Baccara roses to create voluminous blooms, which she then accented with rhinestones. She then adorned the stem with my grandmother's brooch (not visible in these photos). All the best to all of you. Marie
