So the forecast on Friday was a high of 94˚ with a 50% chance of rain, typical Florida June weather. It wasn’t an outside wedding but lots of pictures were planned for outside along beautiful Park Avenue. Crystal and Mike decided to do a “first look” before the ceremony and when I was walking Crystal into the church for this, she turned to me and said “I’m glad it’s raining, it should cool it down.” I never thought I would hear a bride say “I’m glad it’s raining.” Despite the weather, everything was great and the bride was gorgeous. The ceremony took place at First Baptist Church of Winter Park with Pastor Glen Riggs from the couple’s church in Winter Springs. The guests then went on to the Winter Park Farmers’ Market where they were met by an elegant array of green and white hydrangeas in cute silver pails with mason jars scattered all over. It had a warm southern garden feel. To top it off, the escort cards were seed packets held in little white pails that were placed on patches of grass. So cute! Before guests enjoyed the delicious barbecue catered by 4 Rivers Smokehouse, they watched the bride and groom dance together for the first time as husband and wife. The dance was well rehearsed and had the crowd cheering at the end. I loved it! The party continued after dinner with DJ Phil from Soundwave Entertainment who knows how to get a crowd dancing! Cupcakes were the dessert of choice and Party Flavors out did themselves yet again. As an added bonus for guests, Crystal and Mike added a candy table to their reception full of crazy sweet treats which included homemade goodies provided by the grandparents. Words cannot describe how good those were. I love family recipes (and I need to figure out how to get them)! Crystal and Mike ended the night with a brightly lit sparkler exit all captured by the brilliant photographer Edmund of Rhodes Studios. Thank you Edmund for the beautiful pictures and I can’t wait to see the video, especially the first dance!
Congratulations to Crystal and Mike...it was fun working with you!!!
Thank you to all the amazing vendors who helped make this day memorable!
