It’s always such a treat to feature the wedding of our beloved members.  Crystal (known as msxtal) spent the months before her wedding planning on the pages of PW!  She met Wicksell in January of 2006 when he landed a job at the ad agency she worked at.  They are both designers and poured themselves into designing every last detail of the day.  Their approach to planning included personalizing everything, not going into debt, and staying true to themselves.  The result was an unforgettable day of rustic florals and luxe touches in South Florida.  I’m so. in. love. with their stunning portraits by Studio by Carmen Photography!

Crystal is an absolute DIY maven.  She created both her bridal belt and hair flower, along with the invitations and all the paper goods.  In fact, as a result of all the raves she received about her creative work, Crystal has an invitation business launching this fall!

After five years of dating, Crystal and Wicksell tied the knot in the magnificent courtyard at The Addison.  A ravishing afternoon reception followed the morning ceremony.  The rustic-luxe feel transitioned into a glamorous party with tall, elegant centerpieces, an exquisite cake and even a little break dancing!

How cute are these?  Guests were sent home with cupcakes and, as a tribute to the couple’s Haitian heritage, mini bottles of Barbancourt Rhum.  Crystal designed the labels for both, making every last detail so perfectly personalized for their special day.

Happiest wishes to Crystal and Wicksell!
