TLC’s Four Weddings Episode Recap: February 8th

Did you watch last night’s episode of “Four Weddings” on TLC?  What are your thoughts of the four brides and their weddings? What details stood out for you? Here is a recap of the episode:

Who are the Brides?: 

Bride, Thais

Bride, Thais

  • Thais, a bride who starts her wedding day with a formal beach ceremony. There are white chairs with black sashes, a white alter with crystal candle holders with black and white candles, and white flowers. Walking down the aisle is Thais’s three little dogs dressed in dress and suit, and then followed by Thais with her dad and step dad. After saying ” I Do”,at their elegant beach-side ceremony, guests enter a ticki hut for cocktail hour. The reception took place under a large white tent sit on the beach. Inside, the black and white colors continued. The table decor included a tall vase with a huge display of white flowers, white patterned linens, and candles. Prior to dinner,  Brazilian dancers entertained guests. The dessert table was a large array of candy, cannoli’s, cupcakes, and  the wedding cake set on different cake stands. All in black and white. Guests danced the night away with the dancers on the dance floor.
  • Rebecca is a bride who wants to bring the elements of nature inside at her wedding. Her ceremony is set inside and featured white rose petals in a swirl shape down the aisle, white stands with black lit lanterns, and a twig archway for the bride and groom to stand under. After personal vows are shared, and announced “husband and wife”, guests enter cocktail hour. Cocktail hour was very friendly, as all the guests greeted each other and made all feel comfortable. Tree branches, greenery, candles, and twigs were all featured inside the reception space. Sharing the groom’s Jamaican background, Jamaican food was served for dinner. With such a friendly group of guests and up beat music, the dance floor was never empty.
  • Wanda a bride who has a brunch wedding set at the Polo club. Her love for Christmas is incorporated into the wedding day decor. The ceremony took place at the lawn on the Polo Field and all lady guests wearing bonnets. The decor consisted of white chairs all set in a circle, red poinsettias, and red rose petals down the aisle.  On the veranda, cocktail hour took place. A large metal tree display had cocktail drinks hanging from it for guests to grab and enjoy. The drink colors were red and green to go with the Christmas theme. To find their seat inside the reception, guests will find their names on a snowflake ornament hanging off the Christmas tree. The reception featured the red and gold colors, a beautiful fireplace, and simple decor on the guest tables. Even in the daytime, guests got on the dance floor.
  • Nataly a bride who loves sparkle and bling. She wears million and millions of dollars of jewelry on, and has to have body guards with her at all times. The wedding begins with cocktail hour prior to the ceremony start. Inside the synagogue, the ceremony took place. There was a white hoopa, with hanging crystals, and crystal chandelier  and white roses. The ceremony was a traditional Jewish ceremony. With the ceremony complete, guests enter a large ballroom for the reception. It had large candelabras with huge flower display on top, crystal candles, purple up lighting, and white draping all around.

Cool factor:  There was one detail from each wedding that stood out for me. What I thought was super unique at  Thais’s reception was the large photo of Thais and her groom kissing underwater. I thought the photo was so beautiful and added such a personal touch to the decor. What a unique and super cute idea! I loved it!  I liked that Rebecca  had a signature drink during cocktail hour. It was called ” Don’t you worry about a Ting”. I thought this was perfect for her Caribbean style wedding. Guests seem to enjoy the taste, so that is always a good thing!  I loved Wanda’s dress. It was a lace fitted dress which she also styled with a lace bonnet. It fit her so perfectly and that bonnet was a great touch to go with her wedding location. She looked lovely and sweet.  At Nataly’s wedding, I loved when they had a belly dancer perform for the guests. It was a fun version of entertainment at a wedding and such a great way to get people to join in to dance. Guests seem to really enjoy learning how to shake it like a belly dancer. So fun!

Who won?

Congrats to Wanda

Congrats to Wanda

 Congrats to Wanda for winning!  She and her husband won an all expenses paid honeymoon to Fiji.  I was not totally surprised  about the results. I actually thought Thais would have come into first place. However, Wanda’s venue was pretty unique and she was able to pull off a nice Christmas wedding without it being too over the top. All the small and simple Christmas touches worked really well. Way to go Wanda!  So how did the other three brides score? Thais came in second, Nataly in third, and Rebecca in fourth place. Were you surprised by the results? Love to hear from you, so please share!
