Detail Sneak Peek: Gabrielle and Ben
This weekend I had the pleasure of assisting Gabrielle and Ben with their wedding at the beautiful White Room Loft in St. Augustine.
It was a gorgeous day, and we couldn't have asked for better weather. There was quite a bit of set-up to be done, including hanging about 40 paper lanters, so I brought along my intern Maggie, who also assisted with Amanda and Matt's beautiful wedding.
I managed to grab a few detail shots with my camera so I thought I'd post them for you all, my lovely readers, to enjoy. When pro pics are available from their photographer, I'll try to post some of those as well.
Enjoy!
Gabrielle's color scheme of lime green and brown was so cool and modern.
A few different shots of all the brown lanterns in the main reception area.
Gabrielle and her mom made all the centerpieces and so many of the other details. So crafty!
Their cute cake was from Publix.
Flowers by Shirley did her bouquet -- they're are one of my favorite florists in St. Augustine, and they came through yet again. Gabrielle's bouquet was so simple -- just green cymbidium orchids, and I loved it!
The petal exit -- I didn't have the greatest viewpoint, but I did manage to snag a few shots.
Maggie and I had a great time coordinating and setting up -- Gabrielle and Ben, thanks for letting us be a part of your day!

Coming this weekend: The Wedding of Gabrielle and Ben
Gabrielle contacted me back in the fall for help with their day-of coordination. She and her fiance Ben were planning a St. Augustine wedding from Melbourne, and they knew they needed some assistance for the day. We scheduled a consultation and I thought all was good to go.
Then Gabrielle emailed me a few days later to let me know that she and her fiance decided to cancel the big affair they were planning, and do something small and simple.
No problem. I completely understand how weddings can quickly blow up into huge productions.
Then, in December, I got another email from Gabrielle. Yes, they changed the date. Yes, they were doing something much smaller. But she still needed help and it felt like more guests were being added to the list daily!
Agan, no problem! We are definitely here to assist. =)
I'm heading out in a few hours for Gabrielle and Ben's rehearsal at The White Room Loft, but before I go I wanted to post a few of their cute engagement shots I found on the blog of their photographer, Elegant Imagery.
Aren't Gabrielle's pink shoes so cute?
Congratulations Gabrielle and Ben. We're so excited to be helping with your wedding!

Real Wedding: Danielle and Jay
Danielle and Jay were married in a stunning ceremony last weekend, and the feel for their reception was "Modern Garden Chic." I am so thrilled to share these details and some behind the scenes info about their wedding!
It's a bit bittersweet to have this wedding over with, because I absolutely loved working with Danielle. She has an awesome sense of stye, and really wanted her event to have a modern feel, which is our specialty! She's also an alum from my alma mater Liberty University, so when she called me over the summer we definitely hit it off.
Please enjoy these STUNNING images from photog phenom Scarlett Lillian!
Getting ready at the ceremony site, gorgeous Riverside Baptist Church.
Doesn't she look amazing?
Jay and Danielle did a "first meet" before the ceremony so they could get some amazing pictures!
After the first meet, Danielle, Jay and the entire bridal party headed over to the Cummer Museum of Art and Gardens to get some gorgeous photos taken. (When we contacted the Cummer this summer, one of the only spring dates they had left was March 21st, so we took it. We couldn't have picked a better time of the year. EVERYTHING in the gardens was in full bloom!)
Danielle's color scheme of navy blue and bright green was so refreshing and fun.
Pat with Flowers by Pat did an amazing job with all the bouquets and arrangements. She knew we wanted an out-of-the-box look and feel and she definitely pulled it off!
I personally feel that Riverside Baptist Church is one of THE most beautiful churches in the city. I LOVE its the gothic architecture.
The ceremony was so meaninful and appropriate, as Danielle and Jay had family members who were ministers, and they officiated with a very personal touch.
We ushered their 200+ guests out to the front of the church to watch Danielle and Jay exit as husband and wife!
Back at the Cummer for the Reception, I brought Danielle up to speed on a few timeline adjustments.
First Dance!!
The reception room looked amazing! Specialty lighting, unique linens, and multi-height flower arrangements add drama to the room.
Danielle did a lot of the graphic design work herself, and the green and navy colors were showcased in almost all of the details.
Classic Cakes provided the beautiful and oh-so-delicious wedding cake!
Guests were treated to a fun green candy bar at the end of the night.
A few last portraits before the couple Jet-set to Jamaica to enjoy their Sandals Honeymoon!(This next one was taken with the full "moon." It was originally supposed to be floating above the dance floor via helium, but it was too windy that day so we had to mount it on a tri-pod. It still provided a cool glow to the evening though!
Other vendors who contributed to the event's success are Riverside Event Design (rentals), The Chef's Garden (catering), and the fun music was provided by Spike at the Beach.
Thanks also to my two interns, Ali, and Sonja, who helped make the event a success!
Congratulations Danielle and Jay! It was a pleasure helping you create your dream wedding. You two make a beautiful couple and I wish you nothing but years and years of happiness!
