> a conversation with grace ormonde: I selected imagery shot by photographers who wowed me with beautiful pictures that tell a beautiful story.

I’ll never forget the day that Grace told me that the magazine was going national. Now 18 issues and 10 years later, I feel like she is such an innovator always envisioning what to do next to keep our reader en-gaged. Her latest vision—this very issue— is just another way that she is setting the trends and showing everyone that she still has another trick or two up her sleeve.Why did you decide to launch a digital edition

of your magazine? Even though we have distribution in several countries abroad, we have such a large following worldwide (from Europe to Brazil, Dubai, Canada and so forth) that I wanted to cre-ate something that anyone can access anywhere in the world at any time they want on their computer or e-reader.When you are deciding on content for each

issue what serves as your inspiration? I am always inspired when I travel, whether it is places that I have been to once or frequented over the years. I am also inspired by places that I have never been to and that intrigue me like the fashion designer hotel feature we are running in this issue. I hope they inspire you too.

Why do you show so much décor in your

magazine? We feel very strongly that our readers want to see tabletops, ceremony sites, lounges and after-party ideas and it is my job to make it easy for them to access what they want and to inspire them. What is your favorite destination? Now there’s a problem. That’s like asking me: what is your favorite shoe? Just like shoes, I have so many favorites—and there are still so many places that I want to visit—that it’s too hard to choose. Try asking me again in a year. You consistently pick stories of love for your feature weddings. What kinds of stories did you

pick this time for the digital issue? In this issue we featured seven weddings around the world: Lake Como, Miami, Aspen, Los Angeles, Beirut and New York. I selected imagery shot by pho-tographers who wowed me with beautiful pictures that tell a beautiful story.What’s next? Stay tuned …

Many times, when faced with the thought of where the most romantic place in the world to get married is, a couple will respond Paris, Napa, Venice, Maui or New York. If Lake Como, Italy didn’t come to mind, you will surely be enticed after one glimpse of its alluring waters, majestic mountains, enchan- ting gardens and historic properties.

The stomping grounds of George Clooney, Madonna and Sir Richard Branson, Lake Como is comprised of three major branch-es navigated via a triangular boat service. Since religious weddings can only take place within the church, many couples opt to get married in the Church of San Giorgio in Varenna, Como Cathedral or Basilica of

Sant’Abbondio in Como, or Church of the Ascension in Cadenabbia. Civil ceremonies are available at many of the area’s town halls or can be officiated at one of Lake Como’s incredible villas.

After the ceremony, taking pictures walking through the cobbled alleyways, café-filled piazzas and along the pristine shorelines of any of the lake’s major villages–Bellagio,

Lenno, Tremezzo and Varenna–is a must. If you want to give your guests an authentic experience, consider transporting them to the reception on a private boat with a mini tour along the way; sea plane is another, more grandeur option.

Some of the most famous choices for wed-dings include gated Villa D’Este with its 25

... insisting they were made for each other. It turns out, their friends were right. Chris pro-posed in January of 2011 aided by a scrap-book filled with the reasons why he loved Melisa and a diamond ring tucked into one of the pages.

Intrigued by the idea of an overseas destina-tion wedding, the couple was elated when they secured an historic Italian setting, Villa del Balbianello, for their September wedding. “We loved the idea of a celebration with a

88

timeless, Old World feel,” Melisa admits. “Because the venue was so beautiful, we kept everything very elegant and simple.”

They recited their vows under a romantic ivy-covered loggia overlooking Lake Como.

89

Cocktails were served in the garden and a candlelit dinner for 100 followed. “I would not have changed a thing,” the bride reflects. “It was a wonderful time to spend with our fam-ily and friends, and the perfect beginning to our lives together.”

The newlyweds spent the next two weeks in Africa on safari and exploring the beauty of the Seychelle Islands. > Written by Dina M. Cortezmore at weddingstylemagazine.com

Ilya PrIgogIne and davId dzIalowskInovember 20, ‘11 mIamI, FlorIda

The party was for David’s friend, whose sis-ter Ilya knew well. Ilya’s uncle was David’s doctor. They had more than shared connec-tions, though, and within two months, their jetsetting lives were entwined.

On their second anniversary, while dining fireside on a Vietnam beach, David proposed

96

unexpectedly. “I said ‘Yes,’ and then called everybody, all around the world,” Ilya says.

Musicians and their photographer journeyed from Israel, drummers from Africa, a videog-rapher from France, DJs from Las Vegas, a designer from Belgium, and 160 guests from

far-flung locales all over the world. The des-tination: Miami because its flora and climate is reminiscent of Ilya’s childhood in Congo. Nicole Braghin orchestrated. It was “amazing how she understood,” Ilya says.

Five days of distinctive celebrations crescen-doed to their emotional vows on the Mandarin Oriental Miami’s beach. “At the last minute, we bought 160 umbrellas,” says David, but skies cleared. Things reliably work out; they cherish each other’s optimism.

... “our sisters would tease us that they would love for us to get married one day so they could be sisters,” says Ginger. After 13 years together, their wish came true and the couple decided to tie the knot.

Ernest proposed on Ginger’s birthday string-ing the ring around their dog Lyndon’s neck with a sign saying: “Will You Marry Me?” Afterwards they celebrated with a crawfish boil at Texas’ Lake Casa Blanca park sur-rounded by their family and friends.

The June wedding was full of energy and fresh snow at Aspen’s Little Nell. Bearing the cold weather, Ginger walked down the aisle to The Rolling Stone’s “Wild Horses.” “We both love music,” Ginger explains.

For the reception, guests made their way to the top of Aspen Mountain via a gondola. A champagne fountain and French 75 cock-tails flowed all night, while guests danced to

112

big-band style music. At 1 a.m., the band transformed into a New Orleans style march-ing band and followed everyone out.

Coinciding with the Film Festival, the cou-ple’s honeymoon at the Four Seasons Re-sort Maui was filled with plenty of celebrity spotting and watersports at Wailea Beach. > Written by Elizabeth Monahan more at weddingstylemagazine.com

When you’re looking for the very best Caribbean experience come to the resorts that know the Ca-ribbean best. My family and I have been swimming and fi shing in these crystal-clear waters and enjoying all the simple plea-sures of island life for generations.Nowhere else will you fi nd such breathtaking beaches, vibrant bo-tanical gardens, warm and caring people, and every pleasure in paradise that creates a truly unforgettable vacation,Our unique and luxurious accommodations, endless choices in gourmet dining, exciting land and watersports, and the highest standards of service are what sets us apart. We’re taken the best of the Caribbean, added the best of everything else and included it all!Only Sandals provides more quality inclusions than any other re-sorts on the planet.This is our Caribbean; it is our home. We invite you to come share it with us.

Gordon “Butch” StewartChairman, Sandals Resorts

> Special Advertising Section

> SANDALS RESORTS:This is our Caribbean; it is our home. We invite you to come share it with us.Love is all you need.

Revel in some of the world’s most romantic beachfront settings at Sandals® Resorts, the Luxury Included® Honeymoon, because your fi rst vacation as husband and wife should not mean compro-mising, it should fulfi ll your every desire with an unprecedented new level of supreme perfection. From the restaurants to the ac-commodations, watersports, golf, entertainment and all of the beauty that the Caribbean islands have to offer, come experience the Sandals Luxury Included® difference.


Sandals_a_v2_p202-p207.indd 202-203 12/7/11 10:40 AM

When most people think of the Caribbean they conjure up a lucid picture of pristine, white sandy beaches, beckoning blue water and the hospitable people that inhabit it. Boasting 14 properties in Jamaica, Antigua, Saint Lucia and the Bahamas, Sandals Resorts pays homage to the unique flavor of the islands, while bringing an unmatched level of luxury and romance for two people in love. Book a Sandals honeymoon and enjoy the perfect start to the per-fect marriage with included special touches* such as a bottle of sparkling wine, turndown service with tropical flower petals, and on one morning, full breakfast-in-bed and mimosas. Dedicated to couples in love, consider a Sandals honeymoon.

Located in the Bahamas, in the secluded Bahamian Out Islands, Sandals Emerald Bay, is one of the newest Sandals Resorts. Lying deep within the idyllic waters of The Exumas, the resort was built on a privileged enclave complete with elegantly-appointed villas and suites. Its grounds encompass 500 tropical acres, a mile-long

beach, two impressive pools (including a grand, zero-entry pool with a dramatic firepit), seven exceptional restaurants, a champion-ship Greg Norman-designed golf+ course, 29,000-square foot Red Lane® Spa featuring Dermologica® products, and emerald waters renowned for their boating, fishing and diving, all of which create an experience where each couple feels as if they are the only ones there.

Also in the Bahamas, on Cable Beach, Sandals Royal Bahamian, or “The Pearl of the Caribbean,” inhabits the former, famed 1040s Balmoral Club known for being the epicenter of high society as brought about by the Duke and Duchess of Windsor. Still an oasis of grandeur, guests in the highest tiered suites arrive via a compli-mentary chauffeur-driven Rolls-Royce or Mercedes-Benz. Once there, you are given the chance to experience two vacations: the main resort and the exotic, offshore island accessible via boat launch. On the island guests will find themselves submerged in a romantic retreat featuring two coastlines, chic beach club, signature pool with a swim-up bar, the exquisite Red Lane® Spa, and per-haps the best seafood around. Resort-wide amenities include 10 restaurants, unlimited access to watersports and exuberant night-life.

The first-ever, boutique-style Sandals Resort, Sandals Royal Plantation is located at the bottom of the rolling St. Ann Mountains in Ochos Rios on the north coast of Jamaica. Juxtaposed between two private cove beaches, Sandals Royal Plantation is an all-butler, all-oceanfront suite resort tucked into a magnificent coral bluff. Providing unmatched attention to detail and a member of the presitigous Leading Hotels of the World, resort amenities include use of the bluff-top freshwater pool with two whirlpools, Sandals’ comprehensive scuba diving program with a watersport pavilion, complimentary use of the nearby 18-hole golf course, award-win-ning dining, and privileges at the neighboring Sandals Grande Riv-iera Beach & Villa Golf Resort.

For couples seeking the epitome of romance, consider staying in a Love Nest Dream Suite. Amongst the most popular are the Mil-lionaire Suites in Saint Lucia designed for heavenly seclusion offer-ing 180° ocean views. Other highlights include a two-story sun-deck, zero-entry pool with a waterfall and stone whirpool. Enjoy being on top of the world!

South Africa welcomes travelers from around the world tempting them with its widely diver-gent attractions from exotic safaris in Kruger National Park to award-winning vineyards primarily in The Winelands of Stellenbosch, Wellington, Paarl and Franschhoek, water-front cosmopolitan cities like vibrant Cape Town (don’t forget to check out Table Moun-tain) and the land of eternal Carnival, Durban.

When traveling to the Rainbow Nation, most honeymooners will arrive via the gateway city of Johannesburg, or Jozi as locals lovingly call it. While there, area highlights include vis-

iting Nelson Mandela’s former home, which is now a museum, discovering the old-world mines that made this city the home of the Gold Rush and its unmatched nightlife. Less than an hour away, Pretoria is where one of the largest diamonds in the world was dis-covered and is laden with Jacaranda trees–

the popularity of skydiving, hot air balloon-ing and paragliding. Located on the Garden Route, Tsitsikamma is one of the country’s natural wonders with its verdant tropical for-est.

when you visit this magical place of waterfalls and streams, you will notice the parallels to the author’s novel “Lord of The Rings.”

On one of the southernmost tips of South Africa lies Port Elizabeth. Also known as the “Friendly City,” this oceanfront destination is famous for its watersports. While there, be sure to take the trek offshore to St. Croix Island where penguins are abundant due to fishing restrictions. For adrenaline junkies,

due east, in Shark Alley, is Gasbaii. If cage-diving isn’t your thing, this is also a known location to spot Southern Right whales.

Have you heard of kloofing? The Western Cape is perhaps the perfect place to try this South African sport. Since the 1920s natives have participated in this activity, which is a mix of abseiling, hiking, swimming and leap-ing off high cliffs and jumping into deep riv-

After all of this activity, sustenance is key. If you end up in Knysna, this area’s cuisine incorporates locally-cultivated oysters and they are said to be divine. If you find yourself in Oudtshoorn, a local delicacy is ostrich. With a motto of “unity in diversity,” South Africa is an extremely sundry country and accepts all walks of life.

A derivative of the French word “bouder”—which means to pout—boudoir photography today is more like fashion-forward art than pinup-style puff. But one thing remains the same: when viewing a truly great boudoir session, one might feel like they are peering

through a looking glass at an intimate portrait of a woman.

The reality is though, that most women who decide to express their sensuality through this style of photography don’t have model-ing experience and may have reservations

cessories you want to use. Remember, too many options are better than too few. Practice different poses; search inspiration boards, look at your photographer’s website, even try flip-ping through lingerie catalogues and see what will highlight your assets. Think about what makes you feel most comfortable and bring plenty of examples.

Trust that your photographer will capture what you have envisioned; that is why you hired them. Although they will guide you through the process, it is always helpful to have another set of eyes. If possible, bring someone with you or check to see if your photographer has an assistant that can help with the little details, while they concentrate on the bigger picture. If you still find yourself feeling a bit guarded, try playing your favorite music, light some candles and have a glass of wine to help you relax. Remember, sexy can be so cliché, when it is really all about confidence.

> feature wedding: They knew each other as children, but when Monique Glosman spotted 19-year-old Erik Vayntrub on college break she thought, “He’s really grown up!”

Monique GlosMan and erik VayntrubnoVeMber 12, ‘11 los anGeles, California

He became her first boyfriend, and although they attended college on opposite coasts, they made it work. For years they flew back and forth as she finished dental school and he got his law degree.

On the night of a big family Hanukkah par-ty he picked her up with a large gift box in hand. As she unwrapped layer after layer of

tissue paper and boxes, Monique kept repeating how badly she felt about not hav-ing a present for him yet. Then she finally opened the ring. Erik was ready with a sweet reply: “The biggest gift you can give me today is to say that you’ll be my wife.”

The wedding for 360 people, at the Millen-nium Biltmore Hotel in Los Angeles, had a 20-person orchestra playing for the cer-emony, a 12-person band for the cocktail hour, and a stage full of musicians for the reception. The beautiful venue glittered with

the light of hundreds of candles as guests danced and celebrated the happy couple. “I had dreams of what I wanted for my wed-ding and this was everything I dreamt and more,” says Monique.

Afterwards they headed to the Four Seasons Resort Bora Bora where relaxation was inter-

spersed with a helicopter ride, scuba diving and lunch on a private island.> Written by Francine Kaplan more at weddingstylemagazine.com

> feature wedding: “Sisters are always checking out their brother’s friends, and that is how Karen Zaatari, first spotted her future husband. It was several years later, however, before their first “official” meeting.

Karen Zaatari and MohaMad al SawanJune 18, ‘11 Beirut, leBanon

Mohamad Al Sawan, spotted Karen at a local lounge and abandoned his friends. “He asked so many questions that night,” says Karen, who jokes that she passed his test.

Three years later, Moe accompanied Karen to Dubai for work, booking the presidential suite at The Ritz-Carlton. On their last day, she was eager to go shopping, while he

wanted to enjoy a leisurely breakfast. As she hurried to get dressed, he nervously gave her a hug while fumbling the ring box. “When it was finally open, I was so confused,” says Karen. Then he went down on one knee and proposed, and she said, “Yes.”

The traditional formal Muslim wedding cer-emony was followed by a reception under the stars. With fireworks overhead, Karen felt as if she was floating in the skies. A cool vibe was created with polished ice bars, ice angels, blue lighting, crystal tables and white furniture. “Mohamad and I never wanted the night to end,” says Karen.

During their honeymoon in Southern Italy, they took in the picture postcard scenery, cruised to hidden grottos, sampled sumptu-ous fare and explored the local shops.> Written by Francine Kaplan more at weddingstylemagazine.com

Michelle Ferraro and Michael Tadross July 16, ‘11 hunTingTon, new york

> feature wedding: While visiting the Hamptons from Las Vegas, Michelle Ferraro met Michael Tadross who was greeting patrons dining at his restaurant. His generosity in offering ...

... her party complimentary food and drinks, prompted her to say, “If you ever come my way, let me take you out.”

A smitten Michael flew westward the very next weekend saying that he was in Las Vegas on business. “We got along great and laughed the entire time,” says Michelle, who agreed to be flown back to Long Island the following weekend.

The commuter romance continued until the night Michael took Michelle up in a helicopter and proposed over strawberries and cham-pagne, while hovering above the Vegas strip.

Michelle spent months looking for a unique, private venue and discovered the “picture perfect” Oheka Castle. “It was my castle for a night, and I utilized every space they had,”

she says. The couple’s monogram appeared on floors, walls, champagne glasses and candy jars, while regal white orchid arrange-ments adorned the tables. “It was exception-al when I walked into the ballroom and saw my vision brought to life,” says Michelle.

Though they no longer commute to see each other, Michelle and Michael are still accruing sky miles: “Our honeymoon has lasted a year with trips to London, Paris and Hawaii among others,” says Michelle. “We plan to travel everywhere we can before having kids.”> Written by Francine Kaplan more at weddingstylemagazine.com

Carolina armas and daniel Bustamanteapril 21, ‘12 miami, Florida

> feature wedding: After years of ignoring her brother’s best friend, Carolina Armas began to take notice when he joined her fam-ily on vacation in the Bahamas. Daniel Bustamante ...

... and Carolina talked about everything on that trip and became a couple a month later.

A year and a half after that, while in Savan-nah, Ga., Danny rushed Carolina through dinner to take her by horse and carriage to

304

one of the city’s most famous squares. The driver explained that couples who kiss under the gazebo are promised a lifetime of love and happiness together. Danny decided to give it a try, and as they reached the spot he went down on one knee saying, “Will you marry me?” A shocked moment of silence preceded Carolina’s excited, “Yes, yes!”

The ceremony at the parish where both fam-ilies attend mass was very meaningful, and yet Carolina remembers being so entranced

that they were giddy. “We only had eyes for one another,” she says.

For the reception at the Mandarin Oriental Miami, Carolina chose a white and green color palette with blush lighting. “The ambi-ance was ‘A Midsummer Night’s Dream,’” she says. “Lightweight, airy and romantic.” Out on the dance floor, the couple sang to

each other and Danny mimed the words to their song. “The night was so full of love it was wonderful,” says Carolina.

An extended honeymoon took them to the Dominican Republic, New Zealand and Fiji,

where they wound down from planning their wedding and toured the countryside.> Written by Francince Kaplan more at weddingstylemagazine.com
