Welcome to our annual Palm Beach Brides edition, which includes a gorgeous fashion section exploring all of this season’s popular looks. We also visit Wellington’s own Bacio Bacio Bridal Boutique, which is now celebrating its milestone 20th anniversary. We chat with owner Lenyce Boyd about how the industry has evolved over that time. Also from Bacio Bacio, we go “Behind the Seams” with legendary seamstress Olga Jimenez, who helps local brides create wedding day looks, perfected just for them.
In keeping with our bridal theme, we visit with Food & Beverage Director Briana Jones at the Wellington National Golf Club to see how her team works to translate a vision into reality. Next, we stop by Wellington Florist to learn about their recent Vendor Open House, which brought an array of wedding industry professionals together.
Also in this issue, we profile Cory Mead, the new CEO at HCA Florida Palms West Hospital. Mead is overseeing a major expansion of the hospital to meet the increasing demand for local healthcare services. Our Wellington Philanthropy series continues with a look at the Wellington Art Society, which has been bringing creative people together since 1981. Finally, in Wellington Today, Village Manager Jim Barnes discusses how the real work in Wellington begins after the annual budget process has been completed.
We hope you enjoy this Palm Beach Brides edition. We will return next month with our annual Equestrian Season Preview, looking at all the exciting things that the upcoming winter season has to offer.
