Brooke and Ryan, a delightful couple from California with one of the sweetest love stories. They chose The Hyatt Regency Clearwater Beach, Florida for their wedding and reception. All of their guests flew from other states to share in this day with them. Brooke was just the {cutest thing} and matched well with a handsome and succesful businessman. This wedding was surely about them, their tastes, their dreams, their “flavor”.
The ceremony was held on the terrace overlooking the beach. Her colors were PINK, lots of PINK, with her love of the beach and BLING coming thru on the details.

The wedding guests were a FUN group..and already knowing what kind of night they would have, Ryan and Brooke loaded the reception with quirkiness. Photobooths with props, cardboard life size stand ups of themselves, glow sticks, shooter bars, and so much more. Even Grandpa got into it!
They were SO in LOVE and so gracious, it was another couple that will make my favorite list.

City of Savannah Mobility and Parking Director Sean Brandon has a guest post at the Creative Coast blog this morning, which makes important points about poverty, employment, planning and creative communities:
“I have found repeatedly that the person that takes their bicycle on an inhospitable street is trying to do the very thing that many complain those in poverty don’t do: get to and from their job.”

Brianne writes in… Our indoor cat Wilson bolted out of our house on Hilldale Drive on Monday, February 13. Wilson is a 13 lb., declawed, neutered black cat. He is very sweet, but a bit skittish. His excursion started just 24 hours after our move to a new house in Decatur. He is likely overwhelmed [...]

Lauren and Daniel – the music lovers that they were – not only chose their favorite venue (The Don Vicente Historic Inn), their favorite colors, food and decor..but they chose music very carefully. This is often a part of the wedding that couples seem to spend less time on. It is one of the last things that gets thought about through the process, yet it should be treated as one of the most important elements of the day. {More blog postings on the music topic very soon}.
Both are teachers, with a great degree of passion and love for each other. It was just a joy to spend time with them, no matter what our task at hand was.
It is also very important that the wedding cake, the floral on the cake, the stationary, the candy bar, the candy bar backdrop, all play a part in the “story” of the wedding.
The night ended with a celebration of LOVE and of course with the careful selection of music. Daniel sung to his bride that evening….{her surprise}.
This was SO SWEET. Congratulations to Lauren and Daniel!
The fantastic team of vendors – I applaud you.

Meghann and Tim……a breath of fresh air! They chose to be married at the beautiful Sacred Heart Church in downtown Tampa, with the reception hosted at The Sheraton Riverwalk. They were such a breeze…knew what they loved and just needed my guidance on how to put it all together. I introduced them to the right vendors to make this happen within the wedding parameters, ones that matched their personalities, and everything fell into place quite perfectly.
Her details were simple, not overstated, and just enough for the ballroom we were in. I tell brides all the time when they worry that colored linens or patterned linens will be “too much” for their room, not to. It is actually something you need most of the time in order to make the room complete. You never want to look like you tried and gave up. This ballroom was filled with the right amount of color, linen pattern and detail.
Her table numbers were not your traditional 1 through 15. I told her to chose numbers that were significant to her/to him/their story and then we will explain that story on the card itself. This served as an “ice breaker” to each table as well. A great personalization!
Oh No! A little too high??
Be careful catching that thing….you may lose your dress!
