Alexa and Jarod Malnik celebrated their wedding at Mar-a-Lago in Palm Beach, FL.
South Florida socialites Jarod and Alexa Malnik tied the knot at the extravagant Mar-a-Lago estate in Palm Beach. Their elegant three-day affair at the famed Marjorie Merriweather Post Estate was an event hallmarked with luxury and love.
Jarod and Alexa met at The University of Miami, where they studied business law and communications. Their close friendship evolved into a fairy tale romance worthy of a joyous and beautiful celebration.
Wanting to add a special touch to their wedding, the happy couple weaved personal touches throughout the celebration. Jared, with the help of his father, Al Manick, designed a stunning custom engagement ring for Alexa. The ring features a large emerald-cut stone surrounded by two emerald-cut stones on an embellished diamond band.

The couple worked with renowned wedding planner Carrie Zack, who coordinated the black-tie-themed event. Zack sourced gorgeous white florals with natural greenery surrounded by crystal and gold accents from Birch Events. From the floral arrangements to the fine crystal, no detail was spared.

The three-day celebration started with a rehearsal dinner, at which Alexa donned a radiant dress from acclaimed Miami bridal boutique LBR Bridali. Her mother-in-law bestowed upon her a family heirloom, which she proudly adorned at the ceremony.
On the day of the ceremony, Alexa embodied beauty dressed in a custom lace gown crafted by Maria Farbinni, complete with matching overskirt and gloves. Her makeup featured a natural, glowing look, which was applied by Gabriella Shpirt, and her hair was styled to perfection by Janny Carrasco. The groom was fitted in sumptuous dark navy embroidered tropical Marzoni wool, custom-tailored by Chris Garabedian.
