Vintage Elegance for Ali and Sean!

"Wow!!!! What an amazing wedding and you were a huge part in making it all happen. Sean and I wanted to thank you for all of your dedication that you put forth for us; we couldn't have done this without you. I felt so comfortable with leaving things in your hands and I was able to relax and enjoy the night." Ali Murphy (Bride)

Ali and Sean had a beautiful and touching ceremony at St. Margaret Mary Catholic Church in Winter Park, Florida. Upon their exit from the church, Sean's Father was playing the bagpipes as a tribute to his family's Irish heritage while the Bride and Groom were escorted away by a white horse-drawn carriage provided by Downtown Horse and Carriage. The Winter Park Farmer's Market was the setting for a stunning reception that was accented with vintage chandeliers and incredible floral designs by Jonathan's Flowers. Guests enjoyed exquisite food from Puff 'N Stuff Catering while being entertained by the very talented Paul Duffy Band out of Sarasota. Throughout the day, the always amazing Brewer Photography and Video captured each and every memorable moment including the magical bubble exit as they were whisked away! I had such a wonderful time working out all the details with Ali and Sean and wish them a lifetime of love and happiness!!

"being in love never goes out of style"

Blush was invited to the exclusive book signing event for Grace Ormonde's new masterpiece, "being in love never goes out of style". This book is gorgeous, weighs over 20 pounds and has more than 400 pages filled with the most amazing photographs and descriptions from weddings all around the world. Even though the event was held in Sarasota, Florida, the lovely ladies of Blush jumped at the chance to be there and carpooled down to the Ritz Carlton on Monday afternoon. The space was absolutely gorgeous....designed and produced by Ian Prosser of Botanica Florist. We weren't able to get any pictures of the decor, as no photography was allowed, so you'll just have to visit Grace's blog to see the spectacle of the night. Just a teaser for you: imagine fresh pink rose petal runners draped over Lucite columns. I could go on and on! We had a great time; we ran into some old friends and made some new ones. Ben from Kaleidoscope set the mood for the evening with his awesome lighting, as usual. The passed hors d'oeuvres and food stations from the Ritz were unique and wonderful, and then later in the evening, the drapes opened up and another room was revealed! This one was done in more sultry reds and pinks. There was a live band that rocked it out and a whole buffet of desserts. My favorite was the mini hot molten lava cakes with a tiny scoop of ice cream. Too cute and delicious! Grace, thanks for a wonderful party and let's do it again soon!

Up, Up and Away!!!

Blush is proud to announce that we are the exclusive wedding planners for the Disney Characters in Flight Balloon! If you are looking for a Disney wedding and have an intimate guest list, this could be perfect for you. The bride and groom and 23 other guests go up about 400 feet in the helium balloon (tethered to the ground) and have their romantic ceremony in the sky. What a unique and beautiful location for a wedding ceremony, vow renewal, or even a proposal! Mary and Gary's ceremony was officiated by the amazing Reverend Glynn Ferguson of Sensational Ceremonies. He is great....he can customize almost any ceremony to make it personal for the bride and groom. David from Carly Ane's Florist provided the stunning bouquets and boutonnieres for the wedding party. After the ceremony, the whole crowd met at Wolfgang Puck Express for a yummy brunch. At brunch, they toasted with champagne and cut their cake from Party Flavors as husband and wife. Edmund from Rhodes Studios managed to get from behind the camera for one shot with the newlyweds and their amazing wedding coordinator, Brandee Gaar. Congratulations to Mary and Gary!

Evy and Bruce!!

Evy and Bruce chose the elegant Maison & Jardin Restaurant for their wedding ceremony and reception. The ceremony was held outdoors on the terrace with the reception inside their lovely ballroom. Everything is wonderful at Maison & Jardin, from the service to the ambiance to the food. Brittany and her team do an amazing job! The flowers were all done by a family friend, Tammy. The gorgeous cake was made by Karen at Cupcake Crazy. The bride arrived in the Rolls Royce you see in the above picture which was chauffeured by Herman from Above and Beyond Limousines. Such a nice touch! Guests danced the night away to the music played by Phil from Soundwave. Jeff from Stapleton Studios captured the whole evening in photographs, including the ones you see above. Congratulations to Evy and Bruce on their marriage!
