{Orange & White Florida Wedding} Soliane & Mackendy

Happy Wedding Wednesday!

A crisp orange & white color palette has never been done so beautifully, in my humble opinion.  From the gorgeous flowers to fashionable attire to the pretty cake, orange & white looks absolutely stellar against the tropical Florida backdrop in this lovely wedding.  Maria Angela Photography shows us the beauty:

Soliane & Mackendy got married on June 15, 2013 in Naples, Florida at The Club at the Strand.  Known for its classic southern charm, the elegant venue boasts towering palm trees, bubbling fountains & intimate courtyards.  The orange & white color palette popped against this background, creating a stunning wedding.

On a sunny, hot Florida afternoon, the ceremony was held in a large courtyard flanked by majestic palm trees.  Simple white chairs decorated with orange rose & white hydrangea arrangements decorated the open space.  After her adorable flower girls sprinkled orange rose petals, the beautiful Bride walked down the aisle to marry her handsome Groom.  They said "I Do!" surrounded by their family & friends.  

After the ceremony, the newlyweds shared & captured a few sweet moments in the Florida sunshine.

Then it was time for air-conditioning & partying!  The celebration continued in a stately ballroom, impeccably decorated with white hydrangeas, orange roses & orange orchids.  Lots of fun was had in addition to good food & dance floor action.  The reception winded down after the orange & white wedding cake was cut & the newlyweds began their happily ever after. 

My Favorite Moment:  I like the Bride & Groom sharing one last passionate kiss after the reception.

My Favorite Detail:  I am obsessed with the orange & white flowers- SO pretty!

Congratulations, Soliane & Mackendy!

{Simple Mackinac Island Wedding} Jennifer & William

Happy Wedding Wednesday!

While non-motorized Mackinac Island brings us back to a simpler time when life had a tranquil, relaxed feel, this sweet wedding brings us back to a simpler time when weddings had few details but plenty of love.  All you need is love!  Oh, maybe add pretty red roses & goofy attitudes too!  Paul Retherford Photography shows us the beauty:

Wisconsin natives Jennifer & William got married on July 11, 2012 at The Inn at Stonecliffe on Mackinac Island in Michigan.  Their intimate destination wedding was attended by immediate family.  A classic red rose bridal bouquet & boutonniere were the only traditional details needed for this lovely event.  In front of their nearest & dearest, they exchanged wedding vows at the Woodland Grotto, a lush spot of ferns & pines.  Afterwards, the new husband & wife roamed the island & admired its scenic views of Lake Huron, Lake Michigan & Mackinac Island Bridge, never taking themselves too seriously.  Then they hopped on a tandem bicycle & cycled into their happily ever after!  

My Favorite Moment:  Did you spot the Groom in his triumphant moment after the ceremony?  I adore it.  

My Favorite Detail:  The tandem bicycle of course!

Congratulations, Jennifer & William!
