Tuscan Inspired Florida Wedding

Nicole and Ryan’s dream was to have a Florida beach wedding that was a mini-vacation for everyone who attended, and it seems they succeeded! The couple used a clean and fresh color palette of blue and yellow, and Blooming Flowers made sure to mix Nicole’s favorite flower, tulips, into the cheery arrangements. The entire day was laid-back, effortlessly elegant and personal. The couple even included their pup in the ceremony — a detail we can’t help but adore! A big thank you to Shipra Panosian for these beautiful images!

Diana and Nick’s Florida wedding is modern elegance meets beach chic. The ceremony and reception were both held outdoors at the Watersound Beach Club, decorated with black and white striped panels as well as other black and white chairs and linens. Nouveau Flowers created several different arrangements in shades of green, ivory, and the softest shade of blush for the event. I’m so ridiculously in love with Diana’s stunning copper Vera Wang gown! It’s absolute perfection with her fabulous red hair. Such an amazing, modern wedding with equally gorgeous photos by Paul Johnson Photography.

The Old Florida setting of Ponte Vedra Inn & Club was the ideal spot for Elisha and Palmer’s wedding guests to come together for a fun, get-to-know-you weekend. The couple chose to hold their ceremony on a Friday, so everyone could enjoy laid-back time on the beach after the festivities. After Elisha walked down the aisle in an Ann Taylor gown—attended by bridesmaids in gray, halter-style J.Crew dresses and flanked by lush peach and yellow spring arrangements by Liz Stewart Floral Design—the intimate group headed to the club, where they danced to the music of Diggin’ Rhythm N’ Brass and feasted on a gorgeous cake from Beaches Pastry. The photos from Brooke Images are breathtaking—we can only imagine how fabulous this wedding was in person!

Hillary and Michael’s Florida wedding is an absolute breath of fresh air. Boca Bay Pass Club and St. Andrew’s Episcopal Church provided unbelievable backdrops for their stunning pink and ivory wedding. Romantic and ruffled peonies were the focus of beautiful bouquets by Designs By Jody and I’m still swooning over their beautiful tented wedding reception right on the beach. There are so many gorgeous photos by Melissa Schollaert Photography from Hillary and Michael’s big day that it was extremely difficult to narrow it down to just a few, but I’m sure you’ll enjoy these just as much as I did!

Jeshica is from Texas, Brian is from Alabama, they met in China, were married in Santa Monica and it was perfect – clean, fresh, and with cascading orchids everywhere! After their beach ceremony, they celebrated at the beautiful Shutters on the Beach which was decorated with crisp white linens and vibrant arrangements of different yellow flowers by An Elegant Thorn. Bellisimo Events did an incredible job planning their wedding and in only 2 months and Karey Michelle Photography did a wonderful job capturing all the beautiful details of the day!

Lauren and Brian wanted a timeless and elegant wedding — a wedding, the bride said, that resembled the 1920s as much as it did present day. They set about designing the day by employing Lee Forrest Design to create an array of bouquets and centerpieces in all-white flowers. “There’s just something so classical and elegant about all white,” Lauren said. Photographer Shipra Panosian captured the day and every detail, including a handmade escort card board, perfectly, and we are completely smitten!

Angie and Tim’s wedding is the epitome of elegant, southern chic.  The couple worked with Events by Nouveau Flowers to design an intimate and relaxing celebration at Florida’s Carillon Beach using natural elements that echoed one of their favorite travel destinations, Italy.  Centerpieces of herbs, berries and olive branches in weathered oversized pottery and apothecary jars set atop classic wood estate tables, and linen napkins hand-embroidered by Angie’s grandmother graced each place setting.  I am simply in love with all of the thoughtful and personal details and the gorgeous images by Rae Leytham Photography.

We just love the fun Old Florida-meets-glitz vibe of Emily and Kyle’s wedding. The gorgeous Bay Preserve at Osprey in Sarasota hosted the fabulous affair, where bright flowers by Elegant Designs Floral Art Studio were a bold contrast to black and white stripes and gold accents. Bridesmaids in black dresses from J.Crew continued the color scheme, while Emily’s Lazaro gown and veil were fairy tale perfect! We’re smitten with the elegant stationery with black and white details from Write-On Sarasota, which coordinated with the palette of the day, too. NK Productions ensured all the details came together for the look Emily and Kyle envisioned, right down to the light bulb place cards that reflected Kyle’s pro lighting business. Even the golden sunset and the gold-dusted cake from The Short Giraffe complemented the decor. All of these images from Justin Demutiis Photography are simply fabulous!

It is impossible for a wedding at Charleston, South Carolina’s Lowndes Grove Plantation to not be gorgeous Lowcountry perfection. Laura and Thomas chose the gorgeous setting for their entire affair, starting with a ceremony beneath moss-draped trees and ending with an outdoor reception that highlighted the jaw-dropping sunset. We are stunned by these images from Richard Ellis Photographer! Laura’s amazing Jordan gown is a fitted silhouette that gives way to a full ruffled skirt, and we adore the look! One-shoulder silvery blue Siri bridesmaids dresses are shimmery like the sea and paired with simple baby’s breath bouquets by Branch Design Studio. Laura’s bouquet of white orchids is spiked with bright yellow blooms that also grace the elegant reception tables, details that Southern Protocol helped her plan. We also love the textured icing detail on the couple’s cake from renowned Charleston restaurant and catering company Fish. There’s not a single detail Laura and Thomas overlooked—visit the gallery to see them all!

Nothing says fairytale like a castle, and that’s exactly what Daryl and Larry got when they chose Oheka Castle in Huntington, New York, for their wedding celebration! Elegant ombre details like taupe and brown shades on Amsale bridesmaids dresses gave way to gorgeous orange and green fall flowers from Rebecca Shepherd Floral Design, giving the entire affair a crisp, seasonal look. Daryl looked as stunning as a princess in a lacy Monique Lhuillier gown from Wedding Salon of Manhasset, and we’re particularly swooning over her gold glitter J.Crew sandals! We love the way Betsi Ewing Studio and second photography team Alexis June Weddings captured the dreamy details! Touches of gold and more lush florals at the reception inside the castle are taking our breath away—we are absolutely in love with all of the gorgeous details in the gallery!

Lee and Raul honored the groom’s Spanish heritage in their Miami, Florida wedding, even incorporating a coin tradition into their ceremony at Church of the Little Flower. How sweet is that? Lee looked stunning in her Justin Alexander gown, which featured a dramatic button-up back and long train. We love the light silver bridesmaids dresses by Alfred Sung—a soft complement to Lee and Raul’s color palette of ivory, peach and yellow. Flowers By Carol created beautiful arrangements of hydrangea and roses that lined banquet tables at The Coral Gables Museum, where Lee and Raul held their outdoor reception. There isn’t a single detail we don’t love from their big day, and we’re so glad Starfish Studios shared it with us!

Marie and Tim’s wedding at The Ritz-Carlton on Amelia Island, Florida, combines the beauty of the beach with the understated elegance only a venue like the The Ritz-Carlton can provide! Dressed in a sweetheart gown with crystal brooch detail, Marie married Tim with views of the ocean as their ceremony backdrop — that, and a gorgeous floral arbor popping with pink and white blooms! We adore the cowl-neck mauve dresses that bridesmaids donned, as well as the round rose and ranunculus bouquets they carried. Photographer Brooke Images has dazzled us with the gorgeous images she captured of the reception, including a classic white cake trimmed in pink lace! See all of the beach-chic details in the gallery!

Sarah and Francis’s wedding is seaside splendor at its finest! The stunning cream, chocolate, and green color scheme is simply breathtaking in Florida’s Seaside Interfaith Chapel and on the lush Lyceum Lawn, where the ceremony and reception were held. Shades of ivory and white flowers in bouquets from Events by Nouveau Flowers provided an elegant vibe to the beachfront wedding. Sarah added sweet touches like a lace wrap and a cameo pin that belonged to her grandmother to her flowers; the bridesmaids’ bouquets were wrapped in the same fabric as the sashes on their LulaKate dresses. Sarah’s lace Monique Lhuillier gown is totally amazing—we love the vintage feel of the matching jacket! Francis wore a fabulous khaki-striped bow tie from High Cotton—such a fun Southern twist on a traditional tie. Even though the overall vibe of the day was true sophistication, Sarah and Francis wove in laid-back elements at their outdoor reception, like a signature cocktail served in jars, laid-back lounge seating, and a perfectly imperfect buttercream cake from Confections on the Coast. There are so many great ideas in the gorgeous images from VUE Photography that we can’t pick a favorite, but we wish you luck trying!

This exotic, tropical wedding in Miami is making our hearts flutter! Stephanie and Marcus wove deep purple and white decor into an Old Havana-style setting for this fabulous fete, with a ceremony at Miami Beach Community Church followed by a reception at the iconic National Hotel. This must’ve been a dream for Elaine Palladino Photography to shoot! Stephanie’s Monique Lhuillier gown is bold and feminine, especially with that overflowing bouquet of white orchids from Flowers Unlimited. The deep violet and white flowers and linens in the reception decor served as a gorgeous backdrop for the over-the-top fabulous cake from Elegant Temptations. We can just see guests dancing the night away to Havana Soul at this wow of a wedding!

Everything about Louise and Derek’s wedding celebration softly proclaims sophisticated city style. With a ceremony at San Francisco’s Palace of Fine Arts Theatre followed by a reception at The City Club, the elegant, artsy theme was set and only further enhanced by Louise’s Fanal by La Sposa strapless wrap gown. Simple, structured black bridesmaids dresses from Ann Taylor were striking against the sunset-colored flowers and bouquets from Flowers by D’aria Rose. A bold orange-and-yellow rose garland cascaded down an understated tiered cake by Jasmine Rae Bakery, making it a focal point of the reception decor. We love that the couple crafted their place card holders from Champagne cages! Enjoy these captivating images from Volatile Photography!

The joyful smiles on Rachel and Greg’s faces melt our hearts!  Everything about this couple and their Austin, Texas wedding is beautiful, and we think these pictures from Christina Carroll Photography say it all. Rachel and Greg tied the knot at St. David’s Episcopal Church (the same church where Greg’s parents were married!) and followed the ceremony with a celebration at the elegant Driskill Hotel. We love the classic arrangements of white orchids and gardenias with pops of sunshine yellow created by Visual Lyrics. Romantic votive candles radiated Southern elegance amidst antique silver trays and mercury glass, and the five-tiered cake was sweet perfection! “It was an unforgettable start to the rest of our lives together,” reflects Rachel, and we couldn’t agree more after falling in love with these gorgeous images!

Looking at these pictures of Emma and Nathaniel’s Sarasota ceremony at The Church of the Redeemer makes us feel like we’re peering through a gauze-covered lens at an Old Florida movie set—sweetly romantic details abound at every turn! From blush-colored Christian Louboutin shoes to pale pink bouquets dotted with hydrangeas, roses, and ranunculus by Beneva Flowers, the day was pure perfection. A reception at The Field Club continued the swept-away vibe with robin’s egg blue-and-white centerpiece arrangements that matched an intricate five-tier cake in the same palette from A Slice of Heaven. “During the last hour of the reception Nate and I snuck off to soak in the whole day together,” says Emma. “It did go by so fast.” Just be sure to scroll slowly through these beautiful photos from Jessica Lorren Organic Photography!

We can’t imagine a fairytale any lovelier than this wedding, set on the Gulf Coast at the Watercolor Inn & Resort. Elizabeth and Michael’s plan for a dream wedding came to life with ethereal tented reception lounges, complete with slipcovered seating and pale, elegant flowers clustered in mercury glass containers, for the “garden by the sea” feel the bride envisioned. Guests wore their sunglasses at night—wedding favors from Blue Soda Promo—as they partied to music by Total Package. We’re so glad Paul Johnson Photography was there to take such gorgeous pictures, because words can’t do this event justice! From their first kiss as husband and wife—even though their pastor forgot to pronounce them!—to Elizabeth’s stunning Monique Lhuillier gown, this wedding is absolute perfection!

It’s pretty much impossible to look through the photos of Lynn and Stefan’s wedding by Kellie Kano and not immediately feel happier. Lynn knew she had to have yellow flowers because every since she was a little girl the color has always put a smile on her face. Thanks to Hedge Fine Blooms and all the other details in this sweet wedding, we’re now smiling too! Their big day was effortlessly elegant and set to the beautiful backdrop of Pippin Hill Farm & Vineyards in Charlottesville, Virginia. Every detail of Lynn and Stefan’s wedding is all about happiness and love so sit back and enjoy!

Christine and Eugene held a classic, fresh and modern wedding at the San Francisco Ferry Building, using the same beautiful space for their ceremony and reception. The couple used one of our favorite ideas – seating in the round – for the ceremony, and as guests enjoyed cocktails the space was completely transformed for the gorgeous reception featuring stunning orchid and tulip centerpieces by Poppy’s Petalworks. Christine is just gorgeous in her mother’s lace wedding gloves and Vera Wang Luxe gown, and I’m in love with the beautiful images from Julie Mikos!
