I had the pleasure of working with another incredible couple on their dream wedding. Chrissie & Ryan became very close to me as I worked with them for over a year to plan their dream beach wedding. Their wedding was on September 26, 2009--the same day as the Bride's Parents' 28th Wedding Anniversary!

The entire wedding took place at the breath taking Beach Place Guest Houses. The bride and groom rented the majority of the vacation units on the property for their family and friends, so everyone was on-site for the entire wedding weekend.



Essentials Salon & Spa came to the Bridal suite mid-morning and provided full scale hair and makeup services for the mothers, bridesmaids and bride...they all looked gorgeous! The bride wore a beautiful ivory gown from Aurora Unique Bridal Boutique and wore beautiful red shoes for a pop of color. Her bouquet was stunning with deep purple and burnt orange calla lilies, purple hydrangea, orange roses and greenery. For the wrap of the bouquet, the bride had Amanda's Florist sew part of her mother's veil to the chocolate satin wrap.

As guests arrived at Beach Place Guest Houses, they walked under a beautifully designed "C" and "R" decorated with flowers by Amanda's Florist. Guests were greeted by two of the couple's good friends and handed beautifully designed programs, which were provided by Crystal with ureDesign.

The 4:30 pm nuptials took place on top of the wooden deck overlooking the beautiful Atlantic Ocean in Cocoa Beach. Amanda's Florist draped fabric and a garland of orchids at the alter area and placed a great"bubble" vase with a single orange gerber daisy at the end of the rows. Cocktail hour was located in the grassy area adjacent to the tented reception. We used Apple Green Bengaline Linens and tied them with a Burnt Orange Bengaline sash, all rented from BBJ Linens. Amanda's Florist provided her stilt vases with brown beads and a single orange rose/gerber daisy. During the cocktail hour, Executive Catering, butler passed delicious hors 'd oeuvres and Chrissie & Ryan's Signature drink, "The Jewel".




We rented the ceremony tent, beautifully lined 12 foot tent and tables from Premier Party Rentals. Chrissie wanted a non-traditional feel for the seating, so we created long and square tables. To create the look that Chrissie wanted for the reception, we rented Burnt Orange Bengaline Linens with an Espresso Bichon runner from BBJ Linens. For reception chairs, we rented Mahogany Chiavari Chairs with an ivory pad from Bell Chairs. Amanda's Florist created beautiful centerpieces that included tall cylinders filled with orchids attached to a wire then submerged in water and a floating candle on top. Another one of the centerpieces was a square vase that had sliced limes and topped with orange gerbers and green hydrangeas--GORGEOUS! We rented gold chargers and topped them with an Apple Green Bengaline napkin (rented from BBJ Linens) and placed the favor, a starfish, on top.


The dancing area was strategically placed in the middle of the "L" shaped reception area and Amanda's Florist hung orange and green paper lanterns just over this space. DJ Shane Entertainment provided gorgeous LED up-lights that made the tent glow in different colors throughout the evening.

DJ Shane Entertainment
emceed the ceremony and reception and provided a wonderful party for everyone in attendance. The incredibly talented Scoobie Schneider and his wife Lisa with Scoobie Photographic Images were part of the remarkable team I had the pleasure of working with on this wedding. Their wonderful work can be found on this blog (thank you, Scoobie for sharing your pictures). Executive Catering provided a delicious buffet and bar throughout the evening and Amanda's Florist provided unbelievable decor, including the initials hanging on the back of the bride & groom's chair. The bride wanted a small two-tiered wedding cake, brownies and cupcakes, all of which were provided by Anna Cakes and it was all sinfully delicious! :-)















I cannot say enough about the amazing talent on board for this wedding. This was truly an event that could have not have been pulled off without the incredible team. Thank you from the bottom of my heart to Amanda's Florist, Essentials Salon & Spa, Executive Catering, DJ Shane Entertainment, Scoobie Photographic Images, Father Delahunt, Beach Place Guest Houses, Anna Cakes, Premier Party Rentals and Bell Chairs!


Congratulations Chrissie & Ryan!! I hope you have a beautiful happily ever after!!

All my best,
