Esencia Estate – Mexico Destination is the Place For the Ultimate Vogue Wedding

The intimate Esencia Estate is located on the exclusive Riviera Maya of Mexico. The area is Mexico’s top venue for destination beach weddings.

Mexico continues to be a hotspot for destination weddings. The country is increasing at an unprecedented rate of 20% per year. You ask, “what is the reason’?

Well the expert wedding planners at Esencia Estate are now offering an inside look at the top five wedding trends to watch for in 2014.

This hideaway is a favorite of supermodel, Kate Moss and the scenic venue was also the choice of TV show “Bones” star Tamara Taylor’s nuptials.

1. Mexico Destination Weddings on the Rise
The Cancun Convention and Visitors Bureau has reported a 20% increase in the number of destination weddings in 2013 over 2012 in the state of Quintana Roo, Mexico. This location is home to the Riviera Maya and Tulum. Found on the region’s finest stretch of private beach, the area’s most luxurious, boutique hotel and top wedding venue, Esencia Estate, saw the number of weddings on site more than double over the past year. With one in four US couples now opting for a destination wedding, Mexico and the Yucatan peninsula in particular, will continue to rise in popularity as the destination of choice over the coming year.

2. Pin-spiration and the Insta Boom
In 2014, brides will look to Pinterest for inspiration for their dream day. Weddings will continue to have highly personalized, hand-made elements — from save-the-date cards to table decorations and place cards, the DIY touch is definitely here to stay. Bringing social media action to the ceremony, couples are creating personalized hashtags for guests to tag their instagram photos.

3. Non-traditional Ceremonies
Parting ways with traditions of the past, many couples are now opting for non-traditional ceremonies held outside of religious institutions. In Mexico, Mayan beach ceremonies, officiated by a Shaman and incorporating natural elements will experience a strong revival in 2014.

4. Creative, Customized Cuisine
The foodie renaissance has sparked new interest in one-of-a-kind culinary experiences that are sure to wow wedding guests. At Esencia, renowned Chef Noe Bernardo works with couples to completely customize menus and options to fulfill their foodie fantasies. From welcome Mexican style barbeques replacing more formal rehearsal dinners to delectable ceviche and taco bars, the options are endless.

5. Intimate Is Chic
Embracing the quality over quantity approach, many couples are moving away from large wedding parties in favor of smaller gatherings between 50 and 120 people. Yet while guest counts are decreasing, budgets are definitely on the rise and are only expected to increase. At the 29 room, Esencia Estate, intimacy is unparalleled with more couples than ever opting to buyout the hotel for their special day.

Exclusive Collectables – Iconic Nelson Mandela Robben Island Prints

You often hear about a person who discovers a vintage piece of art or expensive collectable at a garage sale. Well no need to look, as Suttons & Robertsons is telling us a few of their highly regarded treasures.

Suttons & Robertsons is London’s oldest pawnbroker company and just announced three of their prize possessions to share with our readership.

For the first time ever, the London pawnbroker firm is opening the door to its vaults and letting the public have a glimpse of some of the unique treasures that lie within.

Iconic Nelson Mandela Robben Island Prints
You may be aware that Nelson Mandela spent time in incarceration and was not just a fruitful time for his political contemplation and formulation of pioneering racial ideas, but it was also a period when some of the most iconic South African pieces of art were born. Within our vaults you can find some of these timeless illustrations in limited edition print form. They powerfully, yet simply, depict the oppressive nature of imprisonment and reflect the apartheid as a whole.

This trio of Nelson Mandela images movingly captures the view Nelson Mandela had from his cell on Robben Island, following his incarceration in 1962.

The Guard Tower which, as an individual piece, really encapsulates the importance of these illustrations as collective. The image utilizes a juxtaposition of color and simple symbolism to evoke motifs of divide, separation and vulnerability. It is one of the most well-known depictions of the oppressive regime on Robben Island and forms a crucial part of historical observation for the era.

According to commentators of the art “Mandela’s vision of the tower conveys a palpable sense of menace, which is accentuated by the coils of barbed wire around the base of the guard tower with its sinister curves which are almost tangible as they stretch towards the viewer.”

A similar Nelson Mandela print sold at auction in 2010 for £4,800. However, this sale was not without controversy, as it this sale is believed to have been against the wishes of Nelson Mandela.

A truly fabulous piece of South African heritage.

One to watch – Burmese Silver
The silver and silverware market is one that is constantly altering, in flux and difficult to keep your finger on. With this in mind, we thought that we would reveal one type of silver that is on the way up – Burmese silver.

Hailing from the 1850s, this piece has a value of £1,500 and this is set to climb:

The intricate nature of the chasing used to create these pieces of silver is a truly magnificent skill to behold. Each detail has been painstakingly hammered out from the inside, in a process which can take months to complete. Take a look at this video to see exactly how chasing is conducted in the 21st century.

This is finally a skill that is being recognized and valued by the silver community. Only a few years ago, Burmese silver would have been scrapped, rather than sold.
Thankfully, however, this is no longer the case and Burmese silver is fast becoming a recognized, valued and better understood form of silverware.

Margot Fonteyn’s Ballet Slippers
Born in 1919, Margot Fonteyn became one of the world’s leading classical ballet performers and to this day is still considered to be one of the pioneers of ballet, as we know it. During her time with The Royal Ballet, she was given the prestigious appointment of Prima Ballerina Assoluta of the company by Queen Elizabeth II.

Fonteyn is best known for performances in classic works such as Swan Lake, Sleeping Beauty and Romeo and Juliet.

Hidden within our vault is a slice of this triumphantly successful history, a pair of Fonteyn’s ballet shoes from the 1940s era.

Following her death in 1991, Fonteyn’s legacy has not diminished and the value of items associated with her esteemed past hold a strong value. These shoes were sold at auction in December 2000 for a value of £3,200 at Christie’s, South Kensington. This was not the only item to be auctioned on this day, as other one off items in the sale helped raise a total of more than £640,000.

Did you know? – Margot Fonteyn, at the tender age of 15 years old, was the youngest member ever of the Vic-Wells corps de ballet when she joined in 1934.

German Watchmaker Glashütte Original, Offers Time for Magic and Beauty

German luxury watchmaker Glashutte Original manufactures perfectly engineered, luxury watches that excel in both precision and high quality. With over 165 years of watch-making history, Glashutte Original introduces its next line of luxury watches just in time for the holidays.

Transforming the new luxurious ladies’ watches are stunning diamonds, filigreed hands on noble mother of pearl dials and a range of bracelets in festive red, radiant white or warm gold.

Two highlights of Haute Horlogerie bring festive glamour to the men’s collection as well. With their flying tourbillons, the stylish Senator Tourbillon and PanoLunarTourbillon watch models offer an exceptional invention in watchmaking.

By representing the “Art and Technik” collection, the new men’s watches from Glashutte Original combine magic and unique beauty with extraordinary craftsmanship and technical sophistication.

The following luxury timepieces from Glashütte Original are perfect for this festive time of year:

PanoMatic Luna
Inspired by the symbolic use of the moon to represent women, Glashütte Original created the PanoMatic Luna (pictured), an elegant and feminine timepiece whose beauty blossoms in the iridescent colours of its mother-of-pearl dial. Available in two versions, the off-centre hour/minute and subsidiary seconds dials are set against a shining white mother-of-pearl or mystic black dial of Tahitian mother of pearl. A bezel set with 64 clear white diamonds frames the dial, while rod-shaped diamonds serve as indexes to measure the passing hours.

The elegant moon phase display presents a shining silver moon and stars against a fine-grained silver sky. A silver frame distinguishes the characteristic panorama date, and a 3.0mm diamond on the crown provides a perfect final touch.
Lady Serenade

Lady Serenade
The Lady Serenade line from Glashutte Original presents a convincingly feminine and graceful appearance and represents a new generation of classic watches for women. Lady Serenade watches are offered in two different materials: stainless steel and rose gold.

Three different versions of each are available, captivating with their fantastically beautiful mother of pearl dials, their diamonds and the glowing colors of their bracelets. The version with a luminous red bracelet made of Louisiana alligator leather captivates with its elegant white mother of pearl dial, rose gold hands and numerals and soft arches in rose gold set with diamonds.

Pavonina
The new models in the Pavonina collection from German watchmaker Glashütte Original exhibit a wonderful diversity. Ranging from the simply modern through classic elegance to ornamental opulence, these feminine timepieces exhibit flowing forms and a fascinating array of well thought out details.

A wonderful, elaborately decorated watch is the absolute highlight of the Pavonina collection: an array of 98 diamonds, 0.38 carats in all, is presented as a stylized peacock tail; the diamonds are carefully set by hand on the precisely milled, mocca- or mother of pearl-coloured Colorit dial. Along the softly flowing flanks of the case are a further 114 radiant diamonds in the form of a open circle, while the ornate crown is topped with a 0.03 ct diamond. An elegantly shimmering Roma satin bracelet in violet completes this glamorous model.

PanoLunarTourbillon
The Pano line is characterized by its noticeably asymmetric dial visuals, which are retained in the new, masculine design of the PanoLunarTourbillon. The hour/minute area and that reserved for the flying tourbillon lie on a vertical axis within the left half of the dial, with the flying tourbillon positioned at 7 o’clock.

The panorama date display to the lower right presents black numerals on an ivory colored ground, perfectly matched with the dial. A case in red gold sets warm, noble accents. To the upper right is a superb moon phase display with brilliant golden stars and a golden moon set against a dark blue night sky.

Senator Tourbillon
The Glashutte Original Senator Tourbillon luxury watch is a stylish classic, executed in white gold. The fascinating dial presents elegant Roman numerals and a classic railroad ring, which have been engraved in the surface of the dial and then silvered.

The distinctive panorama date display is positioned at 12 o’clock and presents white numerals on a dark ground. The exceptional, eye-catching flying tourbillon with seconds display is positioned at 6 o’clock, thus forming a harmonious optical counterpoint to the panorama date.

If you interested in buying a luxury Glashütte Original watch, please contact The Life of Luxury and we can help you choose the right watch at the best price – either for you or that special someone in your life.
