Ashley (+) Laroy 2.25.12 / Panama City Beach Wedding Planners / Panama City Beach FL Weddings / Anna's Veranda / Anna's Veranda Weddings

Ashley and Laroy were married on the beach February 25, 2012 at Inlet beach near Panama City Beach Florida. For their reception they chose the 100 year old Victorian cottage, Anna's Veranda for their reception. They honeymooned in Costa Rica.

The blushing bride, Ashley, is getting ready to marry her prince charming Laroy.

Look at Ashley and Laroy's son gazing with delight at how beautiful his mother looks on her big day. He was very excited to be apart of the ceremony where both of his parents bestowed a gift upon him.
The couple decided to do a first look which was advised by Serene Occasions and Michelle Castle Photography. This allowed them to relive some of the pre wedding jitters; it also gave Laroy a private moment to tell Ashley how gorgeous she looked.
Here comes the bride.
They did it! Ashley and Laroy are married. They look like such a happy family.

The couple choose Anna's Veranda for their wedding reception.

As the guests came into the reception, they were asked to sign the couple's wedding tree.

The reception was decorated by Serene Occasions with the color purple with touches seashells and natural elements. Friends and family ate and danced the night away. They enjoyed cake and dessert baked by the grooms only sister. She was more than delighted to welcome her new sister into the family.

Serene Occasions wishes Ashley and Laroy a happily ever after. They way they smiled and looked at each other, we know their love will be everlasting.

Lindsay+James 10.29.11 / Seacrest Beach Florida Weddings / Seacrest Beach Florida Wedding Planners/ Bonne Terre Weddings

Lindsay + James married on October 29th 2012
They had a romantic, simple elegant wedding on the Beach in front of The Bonne Terre Beach home.
Lindsay had a wonderful style and her wedding expressed her in every way. It was an honor to be part of such a wonderful day. Lindsay and James are two very special people.   

The elegant bamboo arbor with white fabric draping provided by Serene Occasions captured the elegant and beach style Lindsay was wanting to accomplish. The amazing orchids bunched on either side of the arbor is just that extra touch.
The Shoe baskets and signs are just another added detail to encourage the guests to go barefoot.

Lindsay's bouquet design was simply stunning. The Phalaenopsis orchids, white hydrangeas, and white calla lilies in her bouquet accessorized her stunning wedding dress.

These glass bulb stakes with white Dendrobium orchids added even more to this beautiful beach wedding.



The way James looked and Lindsay was breath taking.
The October weather could not have been more perfect for this couple. There guests enjoyed a social hour with passed horderves by Pascalli Foods. After being introduced in to the reception danced their first dance with the sun setting in the back ground. Next they cut the cake and enjoyed a kiss watching the last bit of sun fading away (pictured above).

Josh + Alisha 8.29.11 / Destin, Fl Weddings / Walton County,Fl Weddings / Seacrest Beach, Fl Weddings / 30A FL Wedding Planners

Alisha and Josh are a sweet, southern couple from Tennessee. They decided to have their wedding and reception at the beautiful Bonne Terre home in Seacrest Beach, near Alys Beach in Florida. 

Alisha's energy was amazing and she didn't stop smiling the entire two days we were setting up her events! She is a very genuine girl, and was genuinely excited to be marrying Josh. This is one of those couples that leave no doubt they're in love. Josh teared up a little, Alisha teared up a little, friends and family cheered and cried and hugged and high-fived all to the happiness and success of the couple.

DJ Vladi provided two nights of music, allowing for the celebration to last throughout the weekend. I don't think one night passed without everyone ending up in the pool...including Josh's dad at the end of the reception!

Kim of Kim's Cakes did another outstanding job with a beautiful 3-tier cake adorned with orchids. Chef Rich of Pascalli Foods wowed the guests with his infamous low-country boil during the rehearsal, and for the reception he dished out a beautiful buffet. And as evidenced by the photos above, Michelle of Michelle Castle Photography captured every moment perfectly.

Thanks to all the great vendors who made this such a great event! Congratulations, Alisha and Josh!

Jillian + Brayden, 30A Weddings, Destin Weddings, Alys Beach Weddings

Jillian and Brayden are both beautiful, sweet, genuine people. They were such a pleasure to work with and their friends and family were amazing, too! At their Alys Beach wedding on June 25, Brayden busted out some "mock" vows, which were handwritten signs with things like, " You are super awesome," and "I promise to be good," written on them. It was an unexpected, romantic and hilarious part of the ceremony, followed by truly heartfelt vows that he and Jillian each prepared to express a sincere love for one another. Jillian is a girl's girl, decorating with pink, pink, pink! She even dyed her adorable shoes the hot pink color of her bridesmaids dressess! Additionally, she instructed the DJ, Chuck Lawson, to play as much Michael Jackson as he wanted, keeping all her guests on the dance floor and the party going strong.

Michelle Castle of Michelle Castle Photography was thoroughly entertained, not letting one moment go uncaptured. Kim Weideman of Kim's Cakes wowed us again with her beautiful pink treats: a tiered polka-dotted wedding cake and cupcakes with swirls, each just begging to be devoured! Todd of Blue Mountain Beach Catering spread out a delectable buffet, creating not only a delicious mix of apps and entrees, but also several vegetarian inspired dishes at the Bride's request.  

What an incredible couple and an amazing day! Best wishes to you both, and thank you for including us in your most memorable day...
