She’s gone. 💔🌿 My very first bamboo arch—sourced from wild bamboo on island 🏝️, lugged across beaches 🏖️, dragged up stairs 🪜, assaulted with 12 years' worth of staples 📌, zip-tied within an inch of her life at the end 🔗—finally gave out. She retired the way she lived: with a floral arrangement on her face 💐 and sand in places it shouldn’t be 🏖️😂.

This arch was there for hundreds of weddings 💍. She held fabric 🎀 and thousands (literally thousands) of flowers 🌸🌺🌼. She withstood tropical winds 🌬️, sudden rain 🌧️, and one particularly bold man 🏖️🩲 who thought she was a beach towel rack. She never once collapsed on a couple—though she threatened to a few times just for the drama 🎭.

So here’s to the end of an era 🥂. Swipe to see her first day on the job 📸, her last breath 😵, and all the love ❤️ she witnessed in between. You did good, old girl. Rest in pieces 🪵💔.

💐 Vendor Love: East End Flower Shop💐

When it comes to flowers, Ali Slimming and her team at East End Flower Shop always bring their A-game. Whether it’s lush tropicals, romantic roses, or the perfect blend of texture and color, they make every wedding feel like it was designed just for that couple.

They’ve saved the day more times than I can count, always going above and beyond—whether we’ve had months to plan or just a few days. 🌸 Their creativity, attention to detail, and “yes, we can” attitude make them one of the very best parts of our wedding dream team.

The photos speak for themselves—scroll through to see just a few of the incredible arrangements they’ve created for our couples. 🌿✨

Now for our wonderful friend and amazing photographer. Alexandra Marie Photography 📸✨

She doesn’t just take pictures—she captures the feeling of a wedding day. From the quiet, intimate moments to the big “WOW” shots, she tells the whole story in a way that is timeless and full of heart.

Her eye for detail is incredible—she’ll get the sparkle of your ring, the way the sunset lights up the water, the flowers swaying in the breeze, and those pure, candid moments you’ll treasure forever.

And while her photos speak for themselves, we have to say—she’s just as wonderful as her work. Professional, easygoing, and the kind of person who makes couples feel completely at ease in front of the camera.

Alex, you’re a dream to work with, and we’re so glad you’re part of our Irie team. 💕

Let’s talk about Makeup by Shary

She is exactly what every bride wants by their side while getting ready—whether it’s a calm morning, a late afternoon glam session, or anything in between.

Shary is super sweet. She’s warm, professional, and just a genuinely wonderful person to have around. She creates the most beautiful looks—enhancing each bride’s natural beauty while keeping them feeling comfortable, confident, and totally themselves.

She brings calm energy, kind words, and serious talent. Our brides love her and so do we.

We seriously have the BEST vendors. 🙌
Let’s talk about CupCait Tylek for a second. This girl kills it every single time. Whether it’s a classic white cake with tropical blooms or something bold and custom, her cakes are always stunning—and even better, they actually taste good (yes, that matters).

But here’s the real magic: when I’m in a pinch and need a last-minute cake, Cait shows up. No stress, no drama—just “I got you.” And she does. Every time.

From soft buttercream textures to perfect piping and flavors that make guests go back for seconds, she never misses. Brides love her, guests love her, and we love working with her.

If you're planning your wedding in St. Thomas, do yourself a favor and lock her in early. 🎂💕

Surrounded by family, friends, and the sounds of the sea, Taylor and Zack said “I do” at sunset on the sands of Secret Harbour. 🌅✨

Their day was full of laughter, love, and the kind of moments you don’t forget—from teary-eyed vows to full-belly laughs under the palm trees.

Taylor’s bouquet was a dream in blush, ivory, and wine tones (can we talk about those florals?! 😍), and the whole vibe was equal parts island romance and genuine joy.

Here’s to a lifetime of love, laughter, and beautiful beginnings.

She thought they were just early for dinner at Sunset Grille - Secret Harbour…
He said, “Let’s go for a walk.”
She said, “I’m not walking in the sand in this dress.”
He said, “Just trust me.” 😏

A few steps later: candles, rose petals, and a glowing MARRY ME waiting by the water 💍🌅

The surprise was perfect. The sunset was unreal. And yes—she said YES (after giving him one last look that said “you’re lucky you’re cute”).

Tabling dinner for forever instead. 💛

You know it’s a good day when all your wedding galleries arrive at once 😍📸
Time to share some of the love we’ve been holding onto…

Tabitha & Brian. These two were married at sunset with just their closest family beside them. No arch, no extras—just golden skies, heartfelt vows, and one sweet little cake to top it all off 🎂💛

It was simple, meaningful, and full of everything that matters most.
