For Kara’s love of “BLING” I selected her as our 2nd {Double FEATURE Day} Valentine’s Day blog entry .. themes of Peacock Blue/Gold/Gem Colors, Peacock Feathers, ”Bling” … oh la la {remember Krista & Dan’s post last week? This is Krista’s sister!} .. not to mention we have a Donna Kim, The Perfect Details, day going on here featuring 2 of HER incredible clients events!








Q. What made your event UNIQUE
Kara. My Wedding Vendors: Each brought their specific talent to the whole design element of the wedding.
I tried to incorporate as well both of our specific heritages. Sergio is 100% italian, parents from Italy. My mom is Italian but my dad is Lebanese. I tried to incorporate some italian customs and lebanese customs. From the music to the food. The Overall Decor of the Wedding: Flowers, Lighting, Lots of little details everywhere.
Q. The Bride Wore
Kara. Dress-Monique Lhuillier
Veil- Elie Saab
Shoes- Jimmy Choo
Brial Hair Piece and earings-Bridal Finery, East Greenwich RI
Bracelet- L’elite Bridal Boutique
Q. Finish this sentence: “One thing I learned from my wedding planning…”
Kara. Start Early. Do not save everything for the last minute. I tried to do a little at a time. I would HIGHLY recommend having a wedding coordinator if possible! Donna Kim and her Perfect Details team truly helped me more than they can imagine! It is imperative to stay ORGANIZED!!!! AND REMEMBER MOST IMPORTANTLY……HAVE FUN!!!!!
Q. What was your inspiration behind your wedding?
Kara. Flipping through magazines such as Grace Ormonde, Bliss Celebrations, The Knot,etc…. I would just see so many gorgeous weddings and be like WOW, I want mine to have that “wow” factor. I love sparkle and “bling”, so I would say that definitely influenced a lot of my decisions.
Q. What was your favorite moment or aspect of the day?
Kara. Walking down the aisle and seeing Sergio for the first time. I will never forget that look on his face for as long as I live. I know that he feels the same about me as well! We would also have to say, walking into the room for the first time that night and being introduced as husband and wife! We both were at a loss of words! It was the most incredible feeling to be surrounded by all the people you love in the world and realizing that they are all here to celebrate you! We were also at a loss of words for just how gorgeous the room looked! It truly took our breath away!!!
