Jessica (+) Brad 3.31.12 / Seagrove Beach Wedding Planners / Seagrove Beach FL Weddings / The Lawn at Pearly White Properties / Pearly White Properties Weddings

Jessica and Brad were married on March 31, 2012 on the Lawn at Pearly White Properties in Seagrove Beach, Florida. It was a perfect day for them to be joined together.


The bride, Jessica, wore a gorgeous mermaid style dress. She was a vision in white.


The couple chose to do their ceremony on the beautiful white beach under a bamboo arbor. After the two were joined together, they shared a romantic kiss!


Congratulations Mr. and Mrs. Davis!


The bridal party jumped with excitement after the ceremony. They did it!



After the ceremony, the couple enjoyed their first moment alone as husband and wife under a gorgeous vintage chandelier.


After the couple was introduced as husband and wife, they had their first dance in front of all of their friends and family.


Next was the father-daughter and mom-son dance. You can just tell that Jessica's dad loves her to pieces.


Now just check out the cake!


Looks too good to eat, well almost!


At the rehearsal, the guests enjoyed a signature drink from a mason jar. They sipped from special straws designed by the couple.


We wish Mr. and Mrs. Davis nothing but the best in their future!


And they lived happily ever after...

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!
