Forever in Bloom: A Spring Paradise Wedding | Johnny & Ashli Leyvas

This quote has never been more true to us until we met Ashli and Johnny.

Ashley came to us in January 2023 with her mom and sister for a consultation on the recommendation of her planner. Booking a consultation with us is effortless; you can book a Stationery or Wedding Planning consult online, call or visit our store on Jerome Ave.

During a consultation, we allow our brides to view previous work, brainstorm ideas, and choose paper and accessories. We take pride in producing top quality stationery and service for our brides.

After discussing and exploring what Ashli wanted for her stationery, we commenced the process immediately. This wedding suite will be one to remember.

Ashli's wedding colours were shades of purple, grey, silver and a touch of gold and blush. The end result of this colour match was so elegant.

The wedding invite was two tiered with a purple ribbon embellished with a silver rhinestone buckle.

Then backed on a purple lasercut pocket.

Additional pieces were the reception card and monetary envelope. Shop our Lasercuts, available in a wide variety of colours.

To close the invite was a silver glitter belly band and two tiered custom monogram.

This elegant ensemble was packed in an envelope addressed with the guests' name and customised seals.

She looked so regal with her dashing husband and Father of the Bride Mr. Alonza Pratt.

The bride and groom weren't the only people committing relationship goals that day.

Ashli and her sister, the junior bride, looked so adorable. We have to cheer for sisterly love.

In some ways, we feel like Ashli's photos speak for themselves:

This was definitely a natural beauty inside and out. Ashli was a complete sweetheart. Clasped in her curly locs was a leaf design rhinestone headpiece matching her earrings, bracelet, and heels.

With her designer sweetheart gown, beautiful makeup, and bouquet Ashli's final look was amazing.

When the hour had arrived the guests were greeted at the Sapodilla Estates outdoor garden by the Welcome Sign stationed at the entrance. Nothing beats being welcomed by a friendly face but what about two?!

The ushers gave out Fan programs that guests truly appreciated as they felt thought of warmly. Fan programs have a dual purpose. It's the perfect choice for guests to follow along with the service and fan themselves to avoid the heat for outdoor weddings.

The water bottles were a great idea that the couple accepted due our beautiful sunny weather in The Bahamas. This couple was all for making sure their guests were assimilated and comfortable. Bottle Labels are a unique favour to help in making your event memorable.

Placed at the entrance was also the signing book and wishing well. They rented a gold beaded chest from us at Template to conveniently hold monetary envelopes from guests. The Rental Cages come in a variety of colours and sizes perfect for any size event you may have.

The view of the ceremony setup was marvellous. From the layout of the seats to the arch; The Gardens at Sapodilla was transformed beautifully by The Wedding Salon

Together with the splash of colour brought by the bridal processional and floral decoration were truly a sight to see.

The first entrance was the Groom escorting his beautiful mom Mrs. Ana Pullen.

Then the groomsmen looked so dashing in their grey suits escorting the ladies down the aisle.

Standing at the arch was a suave and handsome groom clad in a white and black suit waiting on his bride. The white and black suit was perfect to off-set the rest of the colours.

As the guests enjoyed the beautiful march by the bridal party; they also enjoyed some laughs from the cute sign-bearer who held a sign “Have you seen the rings?” that are available at Template.

Petals were scattered as the flower girl came down the aisle signaling the entrance of the bride. Held in the hands of the flower girl was the ‘Here Comes the Bride’ acrylic flower girl basket available at Template, filled with purple silk petals.

Finally stepping on the scattered petals was the bride escorted by her father. As the bride’s father gave her away we got to witness how joyous and content he looked in their union. Ashli and Johnny looked like a match-made in heaven standing at the arch surrounded by the beautiful decor, and happy family and friends.

The ceremony was lovely. They exchanged their rings and vows

All that was left was...

Now, officially Mr. & Mrs. Johnny Leyvas! The newlyweds and their bridal party left to take pictures under the resounding cheers from their family, friends, and guests.

The Newlyweds had their photos taken by Braxton Gardiner Photography, and the end result was amazing. Having a good wedding photographer is a necessity because the pictures will be with you for the rest of your life.

The reception was immaculate! The decor, music and joyous atmosphere from the guests. Half of the guests were relatives so the couple requested custom reserved signs for the family tables.

You know something people tend to forget about when planning a wedding, An Epic Reception Entrance! Just walking in pairs won’t cut it anymore, and this bridal party surely didn’t disappoint us.

As the finale we welcomed Mr. & Mrs. Johnny & Ashli Leyvas.

Oh boy, that dip! Ashli and Johnny looked beautiful on the dance floor having their first dance. The air surrounding them looked so romantic.

Family, friends and guests expressed their toasts, well wishes, and gratitude.

When it came to the bouquet and garter toss, the competition was stiff yet mostly anticipated. We congratulate the winners and wish them luck in their future romantic endeavours.

A lot of energy was used on the dance floor; the guests were refuelled with the sumptuous dinner provided by Sapodilla.

The menu on the tables were tented on a metallic crystal cardstock card wrapped with a purple bow. They completed the tablescape beautifully.

Each guest also took home a confection treat box that is so delightful and available at Template. That day, we had the delight of placing them on the tables at each place setting for the lovely couple.

Have you ever seen a cake and wondered if it's real and not just for display? Fortunately for them this one was real.

The Leyvas’ wedding day was a huge success and the best part for us was that we got to be a part of it. We wish them blessings in their martial journey.
