Sarah & Mark say "I do" with feathers and fun!


Featured Vendors:

I recently had the pleasure of working with a wonderful couple, Sarah & Mark. Their wedding planning began several months ago and their theme stemmed from incorporating peacock feathers. Sarah & Mark wanted the wedding to show their fun spirits while still keeping the sense of elegance they wanted for their wedding day.

Sarah & Mark said their "I do's" at The Porcher House, which, although a rather warm day was extremely beautiful for their nuptials! DJ Shane Entertainment provided the music for the ceremony and their Officiant was Reverend Philip Hartwell with A Wedding To Remember. The bridesmaids wore beautiful black dresses and the groomsmen wore black tuxes. Each bridesmaid carried a beautiful gold fan with accents of eggplant calla's, blue orchids and peacock feathers--absolutely stunning! The groomsmen wore beautiful blue orchid boutonniere's accented with a peacock feather. Sarah wore a gorgeous Romona Keveza gown with beautiful black accents. She was absolutely stunning as she walked down the aisle with her gorgeous bouquet. The whole ceremony was picture perfect!










The reception started with butler passed hors d' oeuvres at Rockledge Country Club that included mini hot dogs, mini sliders and mac n' cheese bites. The hors d' oeuvres were a HUGE hit and their "Puttin' on The Ritz" signature drink was a hot item at the bar. Cocktail hour was followed by a beautiful plated dinner at Rockledge Country Club. Throughout the reception, we heard nothing but great things about how delicious the dinner was- great job RCC!! :-)


Emceeing the reception was the extremely talented and entertaining DJ Shane from DJ Shane Entertainment. He also provided the couple's custom Gobo and beautiful LED uplights. The party was great and everyone looked like they had an amazing time!


















Sarah & Mark went through Johnnie with Something Sweet for their wedding and Groom's cake. Their wedding cake was absolutely stunning and DELICIOUS! They chose pineapple rum cake for their wedding cake and chocolate cake with chocolate icing for their Groom's cake. Both cakes were beautiful and I especially loved the use of peacock feathers on the wedding cake. To accent the cake table, Sarah provided a few votive holders that I placed a single peacock feather in for additional decor- I think it turned out beautiful!
















Amanda with Amanda's Florist did a wonderful job of designing beautiful centerpieces that incorporated all the beautiful colors found in peacock feathers. For a touch of fun, Amanda added fish and peacock feathers.
We used a mixture of square and round tables at Rockledge Country Club to create a nice flow and used different types of centerpieces at each type of table. Gold lamour table linens and chair covers were rented from BBJ Linens and we tied the Eggplant lamour sashes at an angle to bring in more modern elements. We also used the eggplant lamour napkins to insert custom menus (designed and provided by A Wedding To Remember) and peacock feathers.
Towards the end of the night, the couple provided Masquerade masks to be passed out and their guests love them!

As Sarah & Mark left for the evening, their guests held sparklers for them to walk under and they drove away in a limo provided by Beasley's. Overall, this wedding was a huge success and would not have been possible without the wonderful vendors we had on board. Thank you, DJ Shane Entertainment, Amanda's Florist, Rockledge Country Club, The Porcher House, Bob O'Connell's Something Sweet, BBJ Linens, Philip Hartwell, Beasley's, Jamie Harmon and Mavrik Entertainment for an absolutely amazing day!

Congratulations Sarah & Mark!

Here's to you,
