2012 The Original Wedding Soiree: Things We Didn’t Post

As with the coverage of our other wedding shows, we took a lot of photos that don’t end up featured as part of our interviews or talks with vendors and guests. The Original Wedding Soiree was no different. Here is a collection of photos we didn’t post from the event (all photos copyrighted by Devoted to You Inc.):

Hi I’m Carmen. 👋

If you’re new here, welcome. I’m so glad you’re here.

20 years ago, Devoted To You was started with one simple belief: that every celebration deserves to feel personal, meaningful, and unforgettable.

What began as a dream has taken me far beyond anything I could have imagined. From intimate weddings close to home to destination celebrations in Italy, France, Portugal, Hawaii, and beyond, I’ve had the privilege of helping incredible couples celebrate some of life’s most meaningful moments.

Along the way, I’ve learned that beautiful weddings aren’t just about stunning venues or breathtaking details. They’re about the people, the stories, and the experiences that stay with us long after the day is over.

As we celebrate 20 years of Devoted To You, we’ve also refreshed our profile photo—a small change that marks the beginning of our next chapter.

To every couple who trusted us, every creative partner who collaborated with us, and everyone who has followed our journey over the years—thank you. Your support has made these 20 years possible, and I’m so grateful to continue doing what I love every single day.

Whether you’ve been here from the beginning or you’ve just found us, welcome to our story. 🤍

Here’s to the next chapter.

— Carmen

People often ask what I notice first when I arrive at a venue.
It isn’t the flowers.
Or the view.
It’s how every piece comes together to create a feeling.

Before every destination wedding, I always thinking about:
• How guests will experience the ceremony
• Where the light falls
• The flow of the space
• The details no one notices—until they’re missing

This is what a wedding looks like through a planner’s eyes.

Save this if you love seeing what happens before the celebration begins.

A beautiful view may get your attention—but logistics determine the guest experience.

These are five things I look at before recommending a destination wedding venue.

Save this for your venue search.

POV: You plan your own destination wedding in Florence… and accidentally build a career from it. 🇮🇹✨

16 years ago, I got married in Florence with no idea that one day I’d be planning weddings across Italy, France, Portugal, and beyond.

Florence will always be the place where the dream started. ❤️

Winning WPIC Destination Wedding Planner of the Year feels especially meaningful this year. This journey started with my own wedding in Italy 16 years ago. With such a distinguished panel of judges, this recognition carries a quiet weight — one that I hold with deep gratitude.

Behind every destination wedding week abroad is not just design and logistics, but a family making it possible.

To my husband — who holds everything together at home while I travel — and to the grandmas who step in with endless love… this honour belongs to you too.

To my clients: thank you for trusting me with your most intimate celebrations, far from home. To be welcomed into your wedding world abroad is the greatest privilege of my work.

And to my fellow planners and creative partners around the world — your generosity, collaboration, and kindness are what elevate this industry we love.

This award is shared. 🤍

This Lunar New Year was filled with both reunion and arrival — family and old friends who hold my story, and new connections just beginning to unfold.
A reminder that life isn’t about choosing between old and new — it’s about letting them sit at the same table.
So grateful for every circle that continues to grow. 🧧
