Who is Onida Cruz?

 

My name is Onida Cruz. I am the quintessential Taurus female! I'm addicted to romance novels {I subscribe to Harrequin and receive 4 each month}, Manhattan's Garment District, winter Caribbean beach vacations, monthly spa days, and celebrity gossip blogs {the YBF and Perez Hilton being my favorites}! I love to spend QT with my baby girl and sisters. I wear dresses 90% of the time-- there is something about just putting on one garment and going that just works for me.

I enjoy the luxuries of life (I swoon for Bottega Veneta, Vivenne Tam, and Max Mara). I’m driven to succeed and never been one to settle for just good enough. I am all about going hard or going home.

Event planning, designing, being a new mommy, I can do it all and not break a sweat. Stress . . . What stress? Nothing a three hour spa appointment can not fix.

This blog is a reflection of all things I love about planning special events. So sit back, sip a glass of sweet tea while scrolling throught the pages of my blog. Happy Planning!

Cheers,
Onida

      Ideal for a destination beach wedding is a red coral theme. It's simple, chic, and vibrant. Check out some of the design elements that bring this look together.
