Upon seeing these photos from the Vue chicks, I immediately fell in love with this couple. Do you ever feel like you can sense a good spirit about someone even through photos? That’s how I feel about these two. The way he dipped her (I always want to be dipped but afraid I will be dropped on my head!) and the way he kissed her on the shoulder sitting on the beach {insert romantic sigh here}….. I’m not sure what is sweeter: all the sugary goodness or the way these two lovebirds looked at each other. Another beach wedding gone beautiful!
From the bride:
- Where are you from and how did you meet? I am from Hudson, NH and he is from Kansas City, MO and we met in college…Florida Southern College in Lakeland, Fl where we also live now.
- Why did you choose the Gulf Coast as your wedding destination? We wanted a beach wedding and the Gulf Coast has the most beautiful beaches in Florida especially the Panhandle (Carillon Beach)
- If you had one piece of advice for brides getting married in NW Florida, what would it be? The best advise would be to get a wedding coordinator in the area that knows all the best vendors to use (especially for a destination wedding). I didn’t have to worry about anything because I knew I would be in good hands. I used Victoria and Avis at Carillon Beach and they were amazing! It was great to have someone from the area be my eyes and ears when planning a destination wedding. Everything went smooth and flawless because of them.
- What was your favorite design element of the wedding? My wedding was very simple and elegant….but I would have to say my favorite design element would have to be my dessert table. My sister-in-law created everything and incorporated my colors (blue and yellow)…we had a cupcake cake, rock candy, yellow jellies, and m&m’s….it was fun feature to have at the wedding reception…everyone loved it!
