Real Wedding: Dosia + Adam @ Cross Creek Ranch

I love finding out all the personal touches that the bride and groom do to make their wedding unique and fit their personalities. Adam is a graphic designer and actually designed all their stationary. Menus, guest cards, invitations, table numbers etc. Their colors were green and orange and everything had a tiny orange butterfly on it even down to the cake. They had a little box for ring bearer to carry the rings in that they painted green and orange to match their colors. During the ceremony, Dosia had little orchids hidden in her bouquet that she surprised each mom with. They had a really sweet sand ceremony with Dosia's daughter and Adam's son as the maid of honor and best man, each had a different color of sand that they all poured together as one family. It was an amazing day as you will see below..... Their entire online gallery will be here.

Idea Room: Couture jewelry for a boutique price

In one of our recent weddings the bride and bridesmaid each had really unique and gorgeous jewelry. They actually rented them from Bag Borrow or Steal, where you can rent designer jewelry and handbags for a fraction of the cost and then return them! Some of the top designers like Fendi, Chanel, and Tiffany's. Here's 2 of the items the girls wore, the silver/diamond necklace you see below is actually $2800 but to rent it for a week, $70. I didn't even know you could do that, so wanted to share:-)

Real Wedding: Laura + Travis @ Davis Island Garden Club

Laura had a gorgeous and really unique veil, it was actually the same one her mom used in her wedding, I love little personal touches like that. Laura and Travis are both huge Gator fans and, they had a couple surprise visitors during the reception. To go along with the theme, they had a Gator ice sculpture and little chocolate gator favors for each guest. (which were amazing by the way:-) There were a couple of Florida State fans there and one of them got in a little bit of trouble. Congrats Laura and Travis!!

Real Wedding: Kellye + Nick @ Schnelby's Winery, Miami

3.13.10, Kelly and Nick said their I do's!! The reception was at Schnelby's Winery just outside of Miami. Such a beautiful place and gold mine for photography:-) The reception was in a huge tiki style venue and looked amazing with lots of white lights and orange linens and centerpieces. Schnelby's reminded me of Napa except they make their wines out of Avocados and different tropical fruits like mangos such a unique place for a wedding. The day was full of fun moments here's a few of them. Their entire online gallery will be here.

Idea Room: Baby Shower

Sylense recently did a baby shower at Tampa Palms Golf Club and the details were so cute I had to share. The theme was baby birds and the colors were pink and green. Alessi Bakeries created the cake with a little nest on top and even the name tags had little birds on them. They also had little cards on each table with fun questions on them. Such a cute idea!!
