{Pink & White Florida Beach Wedding} Laura & Stephen

Happy Wedding Wednesday!

After a day of snow flurries yesterday, the escape of a sunny beach wedding is definitely in order.  Especially such a pretty pink & white beach wedding with a "kick your shoes off & bury your toes in the sand" vibe.  Maria Angela Photography shows us the beauty:

New York residents Laura & Stephen had a destination beach wedding on May 10 at the Marco Island Marriott in Marco Island, Florida.  The entire wedding was held under the Florida skies, from the sunny beach ceremony to the sunny-turned-moonlight beachside reception.  Pink & white details were woven throughout the wedding, as well as a laid-back, no shoes required attitude.

A white sand beach with a turquoise ocean backdrop was the perfect setting for the sweet ceremony.  The beautiful Bride walked down a sandy aisle marked with white hydrangea poms hanging from pale pink ribbon.  At the simple wooden & fabric altar decorated with flowers, the Bride & Groom said "I Do!" in front of their family & friends.  

The celebration continued in an open-air courtyard flanked by towering Florida palm trees.  Under the palm fronds, tables were decorated with simple white or pink flower arrangements or with white candle lanterns surrounded by flowers.  It was a lovely setting for eating, drinking & general merriment.    As the sun spectacularly set, the Bride & Groom sealed their happily ever after with a beach kiss! 

My Favorite Moment:  The sunset kiss!

My Favorite Detail:  The white starfish escort cards displayed in the sand.

Congratulations, Laura & Stephen!

{Pink & White Vermont Wedding} Erica & Mike

Happy Wedding Wednesday!

One of my very first jobs as a wedding planning assistant was a wedding in Vermont &, ever since, Vermont weddings have had a spot in my heart.  As you admire this Vermont wedding, I think you will see why they are so special.  There is just something unique & serene about a love story played out among lake shores & mountain views mixed with wrap-around porches & country hospitality. Lucas DeSousa Photography shows us the beauty:

Erica & Mike got married on August 19, 2012 at the historic Grand Isle Lake House in South Hero, Vermont.  At the spectacular lakeshore setting of the Grand Isle Lake House, there are grand views of the Green Mountains & Lake Champlain.  It only gets more beautiful with darling pink & white touches added for this gorgeous wedding.

The outdoor ceremony took place under the bright blue skies.  The beautiful Bride walked down a pink rose petal aisle to marry her handsome Groom at the pink & white floral altar.  After becoming husband & wife, the beaming newlyweds took time to themselves on the Lake Champlain shoreline.  

Guests sipped cocktails & enjoyed dinner on the grand wrap-around porch with its quintessential Vermont views.  Festive pink & white paper lanterns hung from the porch ceiling, while mercury votives glowed next to pink & white flowers on each table to create a warm, welcoming atmosphere.  Later, guests moved to the tent for dancing & celebrating.  What a perfectly lovely wedding!

My Favorite Moment: The Bride & Groom stealing a kiss on the shore of Lake Champlain.

My Favorite Detail: I'm seem to be on a paper lantern kick lately- I adore the glowing pink & white paper lanterns on the porch! 

Congratulations, Erica & Mike!
