All in Weddings
When I saw them on their wedding day I gawked. Full on mouth open, weirdo. They are chic. Truly breathtaking. But most importantly, they are so goofy and in love. You could just see the two of them melting, not only in the May Florida sunshine, but for each other. I don’t think either stopped grinning, a genuine lit from within grin, for more than 2 mins at a time.
Alex is a light and she loves her people with every ounce of her being. Cris looks at her with total wonder struck across his face every single time. He is calm and steady, creating an energetic balance we all hope to find in a partner. This was their magical wedding day.
Allyson + Justin’s generosity and genuine excitement over the entire day, and their love for one another will always be a little moment that I treasure. These photographs feel like a breath of fresh air, just like the love they share for one another and shared with their closest friends and family that day.
My friendship with Laura started when my family moved back to Florida and I was plopped in a tight knit class of 36 kids who had already known each other for 4 years. I was the new girl and a quiet slightly uncomfortable 7 year old. I'm not entirely sure when Laura and I became inseparable but it happened pretty quickly and I just knew she was going to be my best friend to the end.
Cal and Steph's wedding marks the 4th time I've been able to design with and for friends and I'm so in love with how everything came together. Cal and Steph wanted something elegant while also being boldly tropical. Their ocean side reception was a little tropical oasis for the evening and the room was quickly filled with plenty of laughs and an electrifying dance party.
This year will go down as the year of the garland. With so many of our brides asking for the lush greenery look, it left me racking my brain trying to come up with alternative ways to evoke that lush simple tablescape, while staying true to each bride's individual style.
Frankie + GA are each other's greatest adventure and for their wedding day they invited their favorite people to share in that adventure. Every single moment of their wedding weekend was intimate from the tiny airplane ride over to the island, to the morning after when most wedding guests spent their last few island time moments soaking in the salty ocean and huddled around the bar ordering mojitos and Bahamian beer.
When Jenna first met with us she wanted half of her tables to feature garlands. It took a little convincing, but we were able to create overhead garlands which created a more impactful garland alternative and still left the overall design feeling lush and organic.
