When she answered the door to her dorm room she could have never imagined that she had opened the door to her future husband. He was coming over with a friend to visit her roommate and once they got talking they found they had so many things in common. Turns out Danae and Ricky grew up down the street from each other in West Palm and even went to the same elementary school! They knew all the same people and somehow never ended up meeting each other, but destiny brought them together that night and they have been inseparable ever since. And if you can’t tell, they are absolutely crazy about each other!

On top of the fact that these two look like models, they are some of the sweetest people you’ll ever meet. Once we met their families, we knew exactly how they turned out to be such amazing and kind-hearted people. We LOVED their parents and siblings and we are so honored that they chose us to be a part of such a special day for them both. Aside from the wonderful time we had, we were in total heaven with the gorgeous details, venue, and florals. Once you scroll down, you’ll see exactly what I’m talking about! Danae thought of every detail and put so much love into every single aspect of their wedding day. We’re excited to share some images from one of our favorite weddings ever at The Palms Hotel with you all today!

One of the standout features of Mandolay is its ability to tailor everything to your preferences. With years of experience in hosting weddings in Richmond, they know how to create an atmosphere that’s both unique and reflective of your love story, making your special day truly one-of-a-kind.

Obsessed with this stationery suite designed by the bride herself. Badgley Mischka never disappoints :) So much sparkle! Such a handsome groom! And don’t even get me started on how stunning Danae is! GAH! Are you kidding me?! Of course, I started tearing up as I saw how emotional Ricky got seeing his beautiful bride for the first time
I’m telling you, these two are models! SO many favorites! Goodness gracious! All the heart eyes! Love these girls! And Port and Palm Co. killed it with these florals!
Another favorite!!!
Love, love, love The Palms Hotel! I definitely lost it a few times during this beautiful ceremony! First dance as Mr. and Mrs. Arco! 

Danae and Ricky, we LOVED being a part of your wedding day and we are honored to have been able to capture your love! You two are such amazing souls and we are so glad to have met you and your families. We wish you the best on this new journey and you both have such a special place in our hearts! We love you and welcome to the married club :)
