Hi Y'all...it's really wedding time.  And we are incredibly excited to share Alyssa and Max's wedding with you.  It was a 3-day celebration of love, light and laughter.  Two families came together to celebrate an incredible couple.

Max and Alyssa met at Duke University.  She was a star tennis champion and Max was a nationally ranked golfer, who now plays professionally.  They were together all through college and after getting their careers off the ground, they decided to get married.  Their wedding in December 2022 was emotional, fun, and full of AFTER PARTY fun!

A huge thank you to the entire team who helped create such amaze-balls weekend.

Hey everyone! We are launching our summer series of blogs with topics related to all things wedding!

As those wedding invitations arrive in the mail, it's time to think about what the etiquette and responsibilities when attending a wedding. We have compiled a list of  things to consider when you're a guest at a wedding, such as what to wear and how to behave. Being a wedding guest is both an honor and a responsibility. It's vital that you show your respect for the bride and groom by following some basic etiquette rules. 

  1. Do dress appropriately for the wedding. This means avoiding anything that is too casual or too formal. The invitation or wedding website should indicate wedding attire.
  2. Do RSVP in a timely manner. This lets the couple know how many people to expect and helps them with their planning.
  3. Do arrive on time. If the ceremony is at 5:00PM, try to arrive at least 15 minutes early. This gives you time to find your seat and settle in before the ceremony begins. 
  4. Do turn off your phone during the ceremony and reception. 
  5. Do be respectful of the religion and traditions of the wedding. 
  6. Do be considerate of the other guests. This means not talking too loudly, dancing inoffensively, and being generally mindful of others. 
  7. Don't wear white or anything that could upstage the bride. 
  8. Don't get too drunk. It's fine to have a few drinks, but don't overdo it. 
  9. Don't take photos during the ceremony. Wait until after the couple has had their moment and be present in the moment. Don't forget they paid for a professional photographer. Leave the photos to them.
  10. Lastly, don't be a diva. This day is not about you. Leave your drama at home!

At the end of the day, the wedding is all about the bride and groom. Make sure that you keep them in mind throughout the entire process. Be respectful, be considerate, and most importantly - have fun!

We are excited to share Leeann and Matt's fantastic wedding at Jupiter Beach Resort.  But first a little bit of a story.  I met Leeann and Matt in 2019.  They always wanted a summer 2021 wedding.  And then Covid arrived in our lives.  Our plan was to stay the course and just take it all one day at a time.  We kept going with wedding weekend planning.  Matt continued his job as a golf pro and Leeann and kept working as a veterinarian.  We were jamming along. Bridesmaid dresses were ordered.  And then the company from which we ordered them went out of business due to covid.  Ok, so creative thinking we were able to order direct from the manufacturer.  All was good until the DHL that was taking the dresses to their processing center caught on fire.  Yep, that's right folks bridesmaid dresses were destroyed in a DHL truck fire.  Definitely a first for this wedding planner.  Thankfully the manufacturer was able to make and resend them quickly.  So let that be a lesson to order things early! 

And the beachfront welcome party with fabulous steel drummer.  Perfection for a summer South Florida night. 

What made Leeann and Matt's wedding so incredible was all of the personal touches.

Their knot tying ceremony was perfectly them and symbolized the strength of their relationship.

She was the third generation bride in her family to use the same cake topper.

There were chocolate recreations of their doggies peaking out the cake.

Leeann's bespoke cowboy boots were fire. Did we mention that they live in Texas?!

Her custom denim jacket was the perfect compliment to her boots.

All the groomsmen were given socks that had pictures of Matt's face on them.   ;-)

The poem her dad wrote for he and recited during his speech, made everyone at the reception cry. 

Matt and Leeann named their signature cocktails after their doggies.

They shared so many beautiful family photos on their memory table.  We loved seeing wedding photos from multiple generations in their families.

And the blue smoke during their sunset photos was the perfect against the waning light of the evening.

And the chocolates from Hoffman's Chocolates that were the favors for each guest were so yummy!

 

All of these little details are what makes a wedding unique and personal.  All of their guests left the wedding feeling as though they got to know a little bit more about them. Everyone had an incredible weekend and that's what it's all about.  People came from near and far to share in their love and witness them making a lifetime commitment to each other.  And that my friends is what all of this is all about!

So, 2021 has brought some really cool couples into our lives!  This year we have had 3 couples who live in Texas get married in Sunny South Florida!  Sometimes you just want a change of scenery and to be near the beach.  Sonni and Jason reached out and we had 3 months to plan their entire wedding.  And let's just say that their wedding was something really special!

We brought a slice of Texas to Palm Beach and it was a blast.  We had Topo Chico, a Texas Tech Groom's Cake, there may have been some boots and country music too! But most of all there was true love and joy in the celebration.

We hope you enjoy their day!

It may be April but we are feeling those holiday vibes with Ellie and Michael's Christmas time wedding.   We planned their wedding for a year and it didn't disappoint!  They are are so darn cute together and we love how they embraced the holidays with their look and feel of the wedding.  It's a good reminder that if you want a holiday wedding it can be done without being cheesy or like an over the top Hallmark Movie! (sorry Hallmark I love to binge your holiday movies...but they are a bit cheesy and that's why we love them)

Fun fact #1 - The groom's cousin, Matt Gumley - was the original Chip on Broadway's Beauty and The Beast and his band performed at the reception.  Honestly, one of the best peformers we have ever seen at a Wedding!

Fun Fact #2 - The bride made all of her own signage on acrylic herself.  She is super creative!

Fun Fact #3 - The menus included each person's name - served as placecard- and the color wax seal attaching the name denoted the entree choice.
