Chantale Smith of Luvmebridal and Anne Rose Manuel of EnhanceMeBeauty collaborated with an incredible team of vendors to bring to life a “Euphoric Love Affair, A Luxe Celebration” styled shoot at the Oasis Estates and the Curtis Mansion in Miami, Florida.
Surrounded by romantic candles and dramatic lush florals in red and violet hues, the shoot encapsulated a winter garden wedding theme in the heart of Florida.
Each vendor on the team was granted creative control within their areas of expertise to help bring to life Smith and Manuel’s unique theme. The result was a cohesive and beautifully styled wedding.
Smith explains, “Trusting talented vendors to contribute their best ensured a memorable and exquisite vision.”
For the bridal prep location, they chose The Oasis Estates. The spacious and modern venue was the perfect canvas to set the tone for the rest of the wedding experience.
Breaking typical bridal trends, the bridesmaids and the bride slipped into white gowns, resulting in an elevated and cohesive look that we LOVED. The groom was equally dapper in an all-black ensemble.
The ceremony and reception transitioned to The Curtis Mansion, offering a rustic and Tuscan-inspired atmosphere.
“This venue complemented our vision beautifully, setting the tone for an enchanting event,” Smith shares. “The contrasting yet cohesive settings enhanced the overall vision.”
Selecting Garicson of TopFlash Photography, known for his eye for detail, and Emmanuel of Manny BTS who specializes in bridal/event photography, the creative photo team captured every moment flawlessly.

Getting ready…
For the get-ready location at The Oasis Estates, we curated a luxe and modern look with unique decor elements. Laury from A Touch of LauXury Events crafted a stunning display of pearl-colored and clear balloons. She adorned them with pearl details, accompanied by baby’s breath, to enhance the bridal experience. Julia from Lova Candles provided elegant white candles in clear vases, adding a warm and inviting ambiance to the bedroom and foyer.
The makeup direction for the bride aimed to be sultry yet unique, drawing from years of experience working with brides. The bridal look featured a shimmering eye with a cream liner to accentuate the bride’s eyes, paired with mauve lip liner and a soft pink lip stain for a classic touch. For the evening, we transitioned to a deep red ombre lip and subtly smoked out the eyeshadow with a brown shade for added allure.

For the bridesmaids, I opted for a brown smokey eyeshadow with a pop of shimmer in the inner corner to provide a subtle highlight. This modern and popular choice enhances their eye space while ensuring they stand out from the bride. Their makeup was finished with a natural skin-tone lip color, creating a cohesive and elegant look for the entire bridal party.

The focus for the hair was to not only soft launch my glueless premade bridal style wigs, but also the main focus was to give the Bride a more romantic and dreamy updo wave look so that it can be timeless and effortlessly styled, in which was perfect for the bride. Secondly, I opted for a sleek back butterfly braid hairstyle for the bridesmaids to truly emphasize their facial features and to complement their attire and jewelry To make them stand out beautifully.

Styling Team
Collaborating with Kadeja at KB Definition Style for bridal styling ensured attention to modern trends and meticulous detail.
Partnering with Charles and Ashley at Bridal Babes for bridesmaid gowns and bridal robes was a fantastic choice, given their wide variety of colors and leading status in the bridal gown industry. The use of cathedral-length bridal robes and the Arya gown for bridesmaids added glamour and allure to the bridal party’s ensemble.
Likewise, we chose Marly at Voila Haute Couture and she offered a stunning selection of wedding gowns characterized by opulence and grace, featuring intricate beadwork and lace appliques that added texture and visual interest to your chosen gown.
As for jewelry, working with Jeannie at Jewels By Charles to enhance the bride’s ensemble with sophisticated accessories like bridal headpieces and earrings was a brilliant decision. These pieces added an intricate and regal touch, complementing the hairstyle and completing the bridal look perfectly.
Lastly, selecting De’Veilope Page for the male model’s black wrap tuxedo ensured a stylish and refined appearance.
Decorating Team
For the decor at the event, Ashanti from Asa Event Group is well known in the South Florida area providing floral, decor, and planning. She aimed to create an opulent atmosphere with lavish floral arrangements.
To maintain a rich color scheme of deep reds, purples, and golds, silk-colored tablecloths, and suede seating chairs were chosen.
The floral arrangements included romantic blooms like roses, peonies, orchids, and greenery in bold colors such as deep reds, blush pinks, and rich purples. This combination created a dramatic and luxurious effect, evoking a sense of romance and decadence throughout the venue.
For the event’s lighting design, Ashanti from Asa Event Group curated a soft and romantic atmosphere using candles from Julia at Lova Candles.
She also utilized dimmed overhead fixtures to complement the candlelight and added projections for a modern twist. This combination created an enchanting ambiance throughout the venue, enhancing the overall mood of the event. The use of soft, romantic lighting alongside modern elements like projections likely contributed to a magical and memorable atmosphere.
As for the ceremony and reception area at the Curtis Mansion, the decorator and florist transformed the venue with glamorous floral decor. This included beautifully designed table centerpieces, accent pieces, and table settings featuring gold menus.
The floral arrangements and decorative accents added a touch of luxury and sophistication to the entire setting, complementing the overall theme of the event.
