Amanda & Matt

Amanda and Matt’s love story began on the sandy shores of Sea Isle, where they met through mutual friends and spent three inseparable days together. From the start, it was clear they were the perfect match—Matt, spontaneous and driven, complemented Amanda’s adventurous spirit.
Both avid travelers and dog lovers, they share a love for their two dogs, Bait and Pepper.

Having both visited Aruba before, Matt, who had been coming to the island for years, and Amanda, who fell in love with the island as well, decided there was no better place to tie the knot than in the tropical paradise of Aruba. Their wedding at the Hilton Aruba was nothing short of magical.

Amanda looked stunning in her white satin mermaid dress, which featured an open back in a V- shape adorned with buttons that cascaded down the length of the gown. She paired it with delicate rose gold kitten heels and a lace veil with a beaded border trim, tucked into her elegant
low ponytail. Her bridesmaids complemented her look with dresses in different shades of pale pink, perfectly matching Amanda’s unique cascading bouquet made up of pale pink roses, white peonies, and orchids. The bridesmaids carried small round bouquets of white roses, adding to the romantic feel of the day.

The wedding décor was elegant and minimalist, with white roses and lilies lining the aisle, creating a timeless and serene atmosphere. But it wasn’t all tradition—Amanda and Matt added plenty of fun, personal touches. Instead of a traditional bouquet toss, Amanda dedicated her bouquet to her mother, a heartwarming moment that touched everyone present.

The couple and their guests enjoyed a quirky and fun photo booth set up by The Little One Aruba, featuring a vintage VW wagon with playful accessories for guests to enjoy. The party hit full swing with flashing lights, fun sunglasses, and an energetic dance floor, giving the day a truly
unforgettable ending. And of course, no celebration would be complete without a visit from some four-legged friends! Sgt. Pepper’s Friends made an appearance with adorable puppies, much to the delight of the couple and guests. (For more on how you can have puppies at your wedding, check out our previous blog post!)

Amanda and Matt’s wedding was a perfect blend of elegance and fun, a reflection of their unique love story, and a celebration that will be remembered for years to come.
