Morgan and Wes are high school sweethearts from Georgia.  Wes was too shy to approach Morgan and he would bother his friend (and future brother-in-law) to get her phone number.  Since then, these two are inseparable.  They celebrated with their friends and family at Santa Rosa Beach, Florida off the beautiful 30A highway. The theme was vintage, everyone looked amazing in their tan/creme colored dresses, the arch was burlap, and all of the vintage details were driven down from one of their family member’s antique shops.  I’m seriously thinking these people would make great wedding designers!!!  I had a hard time narrowing down the photos to post.  Morgan’s parents own a salon in GA so the ladies looked GORGEOUS!

{From the Bride}

MMATB:  Where are you from and how did you meet?

Morgan:    We are both from Dahlonega, GA. We met in the halls of our High School where his friend literally pushed him into me.

MMATB:  Why did you choose the Gulf Coast as your wedding destination?

Morgan:  We chose the Gulf Coast for our wedding because it is one of our favorite vacation spots, and it’s where he proposed!

MMATB:  If you had one piece of advice for brides getting married in NW Florida, what would it be?

Morgan:  Relax, enjoy it and have FUN! There is no need to stress when you are at a beautiful place such as 30A in NW Florida!

MMATB:   What is your favorite thing about Wes and what is his favorite thing about you?

Morgan:   My favorite thing about Wes is his drive in life to achieve.  Wes’s favorite thing about me is my ability to make him laugh

MMATB:    I love the groom’s cake.  What is the meaning behind it?
Morgan:   Wes is a private pilot and an airplane mechanic. All of the medals around the cake were his great-grandfather’s war medals, who is deceased, and who Wes looked highly up to. His cake was designed by his aunt and grandmother, and was modeled after one of Wes’s favorite airplanes/movies “The Memphis Belle.”

MMATB:  What was your favorite design element of the wedding?
Morgan:  My favorite design element of the wedding would have to be all the stuff we made, and brought from home.
