Danielle + Brian : Paddlefish Wedding at Disney Springs

August 28, 2022 by Jensey Leave a Comment

If you’ve ever been to my home, you know my obsession with all things Rifle Paper Co!
Ollie and I even made it to their sidewalk sale last week! So it was love-at-bride’s-shoes for me when I saw Danielle’s shoes were the Rifle shoes I’ve had for years but been too scared to ruin by wearing! And her flowers literally look like they were picked right out of a Rifle Paper painting. I just loved Danielle’s style- even their reception table decor was just a sweet, ecclectic mix of flowers. My favorite thing about their wedding day, of course, was their dog “Winnie the Poodle” being represented in fondant on their wedding cake! <3
Danielle and Brian, we can’t thank you enough for having us!! <3

Catie + Amanda : Swan and Dolphin Wedding

October 19, 2020 by Jensey 1 Comment

Amanda has been following our work for years, since our very first Disney wedding, Carrie and Patrick! <3

Catie and Amanda met through work where they’re both oncology nurses. They live in Jacksonville but spend a lot of time at Disney, where both proposals took place. They’ve known they wanted a wedding at the Swan and Dolphin since the beginning, and we were extra excited, because we’ve never done a wedding there! This was our first post-Covid wedding on property, and I’d be lying if I didn’t say I had a little lump in my throat walking through the Boardwalk lobby with my camera!

Special thanks to this vendor team! <3

Wedding Planning : Just Marry!
Venue : WDW Swan & Dolphin Resort
Entertainment : DJ Live Productions
Beauty : Fairytale Hair & Make-Up
Decor : Orlando Wedding and Party Rentals

Even now when Amanda’s laces become untied around her parents, her dad ties them. :) Amanda made sure he had the honor on her wedding day to tie her wedding shoes. <3

First looooook!

 

I was blown away by how the Swan and Dolphin handled everything! Their wedding cake was safely behind glass but still visible to guests.

Favorite part of every wedding: our check in with Ollie during dinner! This was him serenading us with his “flute,” just a drumstick he’s blowing, lol.

Sure the guests are masked, but I promise the fun level is the same! :)

Amanda and Catie, it was an absolute honor!!! Thank you for having us!! :)

Deborah + Aleš : Lake Mary Events Center Wedding in Orlando, Florida

August 9, 2016 by Jensey 2 Comments

When Deborah and Aleš met playing tennis at a league last year, it didn’t take long for them to realize they’d both found someone special. After all, their first date lasted 8 hours! <3

Aleš is from the Czech Republic and last summer, he brought Deborah home to meet the family. One year later, and his family was flying here for their Florida wedding. Not all of Aleš’s family spoke English, and even though some of the day might have gotten lost in translation, it was a beautiful thing to see how happy everyone was for these two. Deborah doesn’t speak much Czech and her new mother-in-law doesn’t know English, but there is already so much love between these two from their mutual love of Aleš.

Their wedding at the Lake Mary Events Center was absolutely gorgeous. I couldn’t get enough of the happy pink and blue palette and THAT. CHUPPAH. <3

We loved this vendor team so much, and huge props go to the incomparable Lana of Fairbanks Florist based out of Winter Park. Lana was a ball of sunshine and I’m so glad we finally got to work together! :) This was our second wedding with Susan Southerland of Just Marry! and the day went so smoothly with her at the helm. And while I could go on and on about how much Deborah and her family adores Susan and loved working with her and she did a great job and yadda yadda yadda, but I will more importantly point out that Susan has a vast knowledge on Pokemon Go and helped me level up while we ate our vendor meals! ;)

Of course, Jeffrey Stoner was there to film, and wedding days with Jeffrey never, ever feel like work. Jeffrey, thank you so much for sending Deborah our way- We had such a wonderful time and can’t wait to do it again. (Seriously, Root brides- Go check out his page and book him for your wedding!!)

And now, on with the photos! <3

I MEAN. <3 Quoted from FairbanksFlorist on Instagram : “I put a lot of thought into the design. I created 18 individual floral arrangements which were all individually attached to the chuppah and after the ceremony we took the individual arrangements and put them on either side of the nine tall reception centerpieces to complete the table centerpiece design!” Lake Mary Events Center Wedding 014 Lake Mary Events Center Wedding 015 Lake Mary Events Center Wedding 016 Lake Mary Events Center Wedding 017 Lake Mary Events Center Wedding 018 Lake Mary Events Center Wedding 019 Lake Mary Events Center Wedding 020 Lake Mary Events Center Wedding 021 Lake Mary Events Center Wedding 022 Lake Mary Events Center Wedding 023

My favorite part of the ceremony- Their rabbi let them whisper sweet things privately to each other while he spoke to their guests.

Jay Edwards of Liquid Entertainment was both the DJ and in charge of the uplighting. Between his, Susan’s, and Lana’s talents, the room looked so magical! :)
