ENCHANTED BRIDES ~ FALL 2013 / WINTER 2014
27
types of lettering and even with
the menu and escort cards.
This past year, I had the
pleasure in working with Jennifer
Jimenez and Dr. Roberto Gomara
for their fall wedding at the Ritz
Carlton Coconut Grove. Jennifer's
taste is refined and she knew
what she wanted from the very
start. Her inclination was towards
a white and silver combination.
She selected black ink for the in-
vitation and escort cards as well
as for her calligraphy with a very
embellished and beautiful script.
Jennifer talked about her and
Roberto's choice of colors for their
wedding. "Many couples choose
a "wedding theme" as inspira-
tion for their wedding decor. You
could say the groom and I chose
a "color theme" to help us create
an elegant dream wedding. With
the assistance and guidance of
Invitations by Leston we were able
to use white and silver for our in-
vitations, placement cards, table
numbers, menus and well wish
cards from the guests."
Jennifer and Roberto decided
that the invitation should stand
out and set the tone for the wed-
ding. Therefore, they chose a for-
mal invitation appropriate for a
black tie affair. The invitation was
long, rectangular and made from
white linen thick paper with a me-
tallic silver border. The lettering
was in silver with our monogram
at the top of the invitation. "It was
perfect for the look we wanted to
create," stated Jennifer.
Then when it comes to person-
ality and style, Jennifer and Ro-
berto felt that it was portrayed in
all of the paper products they had
chosen. "Robert and I do not like
clutter nor have an ornate style.
We are a bit reserved, him more
than myself, and prefer more of a
simple yet tasteful approach. We
wanted to create an ambiance
that was warm and inviting for
our guests but that at the same
time represented our style. We
were able to create such an en-
vironment with the colors, styles
and textures of the invitations and
other paper products we used."
When asked about her expe-
rience with Invitations by Leston,
Jennifer replied, "Words cannot
express how grateful I feel to have
met Ernesto and his assistant
Marcela. Invitations by Leston was
the best thing that could have
happened to me as a bride. The
minute I walked in I was welcomed
and treated like a member of the
family. I spent hours talking to Er-
nesto and Marcela. I have never
met two people that go above and
beyond for their clients and that
truly love what they do. They may
work with many brides everyday
and may be swamped with work
but when a customer sits in front
of them all else is forgotten and
you are treated like the only bride
in the world. I would highly recom-
mend Invitations by Leston to any-
one and cannot wait to use their
services again."
My advise to brides is that a
wedding is a very important step
in every bride's life and this step
should be taken with experts who
will assist her in making all the
right choices in order to avoid
problems and disappointments.

dustry and others in the wedding
