Mariana and Peter couldn’t believe what they saw when they received their ‘Message in a Bottle.’ Originally, their request for a Save the Date for their wedding had started out simply enough: a map showing trips of their US based friends and family to the site for their wedding to be held in Ecuador. What they received, instead, was a beautifully ornate and unique message within a bottle, placed in a box made to look like an old fashioned steamer trunk.

There’s a lot of pressure in the wedding industry these days when it comes to planning and implementing that special day. From the flowers to the food to the place settings to the linens and complementing stationary, there’s always that expectation of perfection that needs to be met. In fact, the only ones that may be more concerned about making sure it all goes off without a hitch – besides the bride herself – may be the vendors she hired to implement her wishes.
