In this case, just a little bit.

Here are a few of my favorite shoes ranging in price from Badgely Mischka, Jimmy Choo, Valentino Garavani and Ted Baker. All fabulous options as wedding day shoes that stray away from traditional white and will have you blushing down the aisle:

Fall Glam in the Gables https://pinkwasabilove.com/fall-glam-in-the-gables/ Thu, 22 Nov 2018 13:10:55 +0000 https://www.pinkwasabilove.com/?p=4709 We kept it all the way sophisticated for this Coral Gables styled wedding as photographed by Tessa Maxine Photography. Our gorgeous bride in Ines Di Santo from The Find Bridal and our groom in a suit from My Groom’s Room featuring the Lapel Project gave us all the high style feels.

If you didn’t know already, It’s really important that everything I create has a flow and I think we achieved that here. Everything from Blooming Romance’s florals to the Starfish Cottage cake were ready to get married on this day.

I’m not gonna ramble on… Enjoy:

If you haven’t been following, I pretty much dedicated this year to creating wedding inspiration that would allow me to find by tribe in both vendors and potential clients. Now I’m almost at the end of my crazy styled shoot journey for this year and super behind in sharing, I figured I could at least share a little bit now. Then I can really get into it when I have more time during the holiday break. I’ll also share a little more from our travels and the inspiration behind some of these photoshoots!

The Boutique is Back! https://pinkwasabilove.com/the-boutique-is-back/ Fri, 20 Jul 2018 12:00:50 +0000 https://www.pinkwasabilove.com/?p=4207 Where’d we go?

Did you know I started Pink Wasabi as an online jewelry boutique when I was in college? You didn’t? ? Well, that’s totally okay because I’m only bringing it up because I’m bringing it back! My first love has always been fashion and styling (I hate dressing myself but LOVE dressing others). As I continued evolving, so did my business. I started taking a different direction and sometimes its tough to split your focus, so I shifted it for a few years completely! Then I started looking for jewelry vendors to participate in my styled shoot projects, my dear friend Bess from Aurora Creative suggested that I provide the jewelry myself and relaunch this part of my business. Her excitement then became my excitement and the outcome is right here.

What will we carry?

In addition to that skull choker everyone is always asking me for, we will offer a beautifully curated collection of fine and fashion jewelry. Some of which will be designed by me (Shari) and manufactured here in Miami. Some pieces will be staples that I carry year round, I will also carry pieces from other designers and unique pieces I’ve come across during my desire for wanderlust!

If you’re shopping for your wedding, bridesmaid, date night, bridal shower, graduation, or Fri-yay, we’ll have something for you! When you’re putting together your bridesmaid’s gifts we’re happy to help you with special orders for orders for larger bridal parties.

Other designers and unique pieces?

Yes, if you’re a designer and have something you think our brides would be interested in, let us know! In addition to other designers, we will have accessories, decor and gifts and more!

When will everything be available?

We will be adding new pieces on the first of every month but the first set of pieces are available right now.

Is everything online only?

Great question! If you’re a local you will have the option to pick up your items at a specified location.

Back Story:

Over time Pink Wasabi evolved from a jewelry business and took on a different life as event planning with #WasabiWednesdays! Then one day a planner asked me to coordinate bridal beauty services for a destination wedding that was to place at the Wellsley Mansion in Hollywood. The couple rented the estate for the week and made it a vacation for themselves and their 14 guests. Friday before the wedding, I arranged for massages and mani/pedis, then hair and makeup for the wedding day. Even the chef that used to participate in #WasabiWednesdays when I had my studio catered this intimate wedding. On the wedding day the planner asked if I could come back to help out and I’m so happy I did. I went home and changed into a black dress and helped prepare for their royal table dinner… one more wedding after that and I got the planning bug! Although that was not my introduction to working in the wedding industry, that’s a little bit of how I transitioned from my marketing event to wedding planning!

I Dream of Berta 2018 https://pinkwasabilove.com/i-dream-of-berta-2018/ Fri, 16 Mar 2018 12:00:23 +0000 https://www.pinkwasabilove.com/?p=3136 If you don’t know about Berta:

Israeli designer Berta Balilti established her eponymous fashion house in 2004, and it quickly became a global go-to for bold takes on bridal luxury. Expertly tailored, body-conscious silhouettes and elegant but daring details converge to create unforgettable wedding gowns that trend toward unapologetic confidence down the aisle.

There’s nothing I love more than a fresh Berta collection! Whimsical and magical as per usual, their Muse Collection does not disappoint. It’s Friday, time for less talking, more gushing over these gorgeous gowns!

Boho Hair Inspiration https://pinkwasabilove.com/boho-hair-inspiration/ Mon, 12 Mar 2018 12:00:10 +0000 https://www.pinkwasabilove.com/?p=3404 Do you ever scroll through Instagram and find yourself and hour and 20 posts deep in beauty inspiration photos? That’s me almost every morning! So I figured I’d start sharing some of the work from the various talents that showcase their skills on IG that speak to whatever vibe I’m trying to visually categorize. Perhaps this will make it easier for you to let us choose an inspired style for your wedding or next special event.

As you know, I’m not only invested in wedding style with respect to decor. I’m in love with telling the whole story and having it be cohesive. So the hair and makeup is plays a huge roll in achieving a bohemian inspired bridal look. It’s for your wedding so you want style that’s soft glam but not too glamorous where you’re channeling Marilyn Monroe.

“Inspired by the late 60s folk universe and a certain gipsy essence, new boho chic designs get a sense of nostalgia from the legendary Woodstock festival.” – Yolan Cris

Hair & Makeup by Pink Wasabi // Stylists: Amanda Tashelle & Safai Kelly

Take a look at some of the Bride-to-be’s favorite shots from our day frolicking around Brickell and Brickell Key:

Their Engagement Story // by The Future Mrs. Dominguez

“We meet in 2010 through some mutual friends several times and he finally asked me out we went on our first date and never looked back. He was taking me out to celebrate that I quit my job and got the courage to start my own business at my favorite restaurant, Barton G in Miami Beach, after appetizers and drinks a flashing light starts flashing and when I look over his friends and now our groomsmen were wearing shirts that spelled “Will you marry me” and he was down on his knee and I was so shocked I strated crying and couldn’t respond for a couple minutes. It was such a surprise and the sweetest thing he has ever done.”
