Real Bride Lilianna in Iana by Lazaro at her Miami Wedding
Tell us your love story! How did you meet and how did you get to a proposal?
We met through mutual friends here in Miami and instantly clicked. From the beginning, everything felt easy and natural. We spent years building a life together filled with boating, traveling, family, and so many memories. Ramon proposed in one of the most thoughtful and heartfelt ways, and after saying yes, we couldn't wait to celebrate with everyone we love.
When you started planning your wedding what did you envision? How close did the actual wedding get to that vision?
We wanted our wedding to feel timeless, elegant, and full of joy. More than anything, we wanted it to feel like us—a beautiful celebration where everyone was genuinely having fun. Somehow, it turned out even better than we imagined. Every detail came together perfectly, and seeing all of our family and friends together made it feel even more special.
What were a few things that were important to you as a couple to include (or not include) in the wedding?
Family was at the center of everything. We wanted everyone to feel included and have the best time. We also wanted to incorporate little touches that reflected us, like our nautical theme and personalized details throughout the day. We tried not to get caught up in trends and instead focused on creating a celebration that felt authentic to who we are.
How did you decide on the location?
Getting married at St. Agnes Catholic Church in Key Biscayne was an easy decision because our faith is incredibly important to us. For the reception, Coral Gables Country Club had the timeless elegance we were looking for. It was classic, romantic, and the perfect setting to celebrate with all of our favorite people.
Let's talk dress! Give us all the deets!
I wanted something timeless that I would love just as much 30 years from now as I did on my wedding day. I fell in love with a classic silhouette that felt elegant, romantic, and completely me. The moment I put it on, I knew it was the one.
How did your family, friends, etc. play into your wedding planning and wedding day?
We were so lucky to be surrounded by the most supportive family and friends. They were there every step of the way—from helping us make decisions to celebrating every milestone leading up to the wedding. On the wedding day itself, we felt so loved, and having everyone together in one room is something we'll always treasure.
What's one specific memory you have from your wedding day that you don't think you'll ever forget?
Walking into our reception and seeing every single person we love in one room celebrating with us is a feeling I'll never forget. Looking around the dance floor that night and seeing everyone laughing, dancing, and making memories together made all the planning worth it.
How did you decide on your hair and makeup look?
I wanted to look like the best version of myself. I chose a soft, timeless glam with makeup that enhanced my natural features and hair that felt elegant without being overdone. I wanted to feel confident but still completely like me.
Was there one vendor you used that you wish everyone knew about?
Honestly, we were incredibly fortunate with our vendor team. Everyone truly exceeded our expectations, but if I had to choose one, I'd say our planner. She made the entire process feel stress-free and allowed us to be fully present on our wedding day, which is something we'll always be grateful for.
Where did you go on your honeymoon and what was the best part?
We honeymooned in Australia and Fiji, and it was the trip of a lifetime. We explored Sydney before heading to Fiji, where we stayed at Six Senses. The best part was simply slowing down after all the excitement of the wedding and soaking in those first days of marriage together in such a beautiful place. It was the perfect mix of adventure, relaxation, and unforgettable memories.
