Destination Wedding in Delray Beach // Stephanie + Sam

April 13, 2016

Today’s destination wedding at the Delray Beach Marriott is one sweet family affair. The bride and groom each have children and included them in the wedding as the flower girl and ring bearer. And I think we can all agree that they stole the show with their cuteness! The bride’s daughter took her role quite seriously, passing out flowers to each person sitting at the end of the pews as she walked down the aisle! Featuring a wedding party in classic navy and the bride in a custom made mocha gown from Lea-Anne Belter Bridal. These images from JoPhoto will leave you dreaming of a weekend escape to the coast!

Coastal Autumn Wedding Inspiration

September 30, 2015

Most Autumn wedding inspiration is drawn from woodsy, mountainous areas full of colorful trees. So when this gorgeous coastal Autumn inspiration popped up in our inbox we caught our breath. Drawing from the muted, creamy look of the Florida coast in Fall, Debra Eby Photography and Arrangements Floral Studio created this unique Autumn wedding inspiration and the result is nothing short of flawless. Soft hand dyed silk ribbons from Fleuropean pair perfectly with a lush marsala bouquet and a rose gold cake from Bliss Pastry, introducing the perfect tones of Autumn to the beach, enjoyed with the brush of a balmy tropical breeze.
