In celebration of this couple’s first anniversary, we’re sharing all of the pretty goodies from their big day in Watercolor, Florida.  Corbin Gurkin was with us to capture all of the gorgeous images. This couple was the sweetest, and their day was absolutely filled with love. The bride grew up vacationing in the area with her family so it was an obvious choice.  The bride stunned in a strapless Monique Lhuillier. Our sister printing company, Lettered Olive designed some of the most lovely printed pieces for this weekend. While, we went the simple more formal route with the letterpress invitation, the party packs really shone through.  Guests received welcome boxes with a custom blue acrylic monogramed tag, and lots of goodies with custom printed packaging. The girls, of course, spent the day getting ready together…and were gifted silk robes by Kim and Ono.We went ethereal in the floral designs, with mixed hues of ombre pink.

For the actual ceremony, we created a tented dream.  Guests were greeted by huge floral pieces making for a grand entrance. 

Guests strolled down the town park from the ceremony to the reception. Here, an oversized tent was carpeted and draped to created a dreamy spot that guests would want to stay in all night long. Stations were set up for guests to have a progression throughout the space, with dancing as the main focal point.
For the dessert table, we layered the mother’s silver pieces with varying treats, while Confections on the Coast created a stunning wedding cake, and chocolate groom’s cake. 

Artist Chloe Strickland was on hand painting a live scene from the reception.

Late night drinks and snacks passed around the dance floor including gourmet grilled cheeses. In order to get guests off the dance floor, the horn section from the band walked everyone from the tent to the town square for the send off… 

A happy bride and groom ending a lovely night surrounded by family and friends..  Happy Anniversary Keyton and Chris.

We loved getting to be at the famous Breakers Hotel in Palm Beach, Florida for this blue and white beauty.  Our bride was girlie, and wanted lots of feminine touches like butterflies, patterns, and lush florals. So, Lettered Olive was really able to bring that in on the printing pieces… The save the date featured a photo and die cut edging.  The wedding welcome packet included a mixture of patterned backings envoking european tiles, and of course butterfly stamps!  Thank you to Christian Oth for the photographs.

Over the  top beach bags were the perfect wedding welcome gift. We stocked them with turkish towels in the color scheme, hand painted butterfly cookies by Sweet Guilt, and local taffy treats, and since the couple lives in Texas , chips and handmade salsa was a must…

Our bride donned bridal shoes from Louboutin, a custom gown by Mackenzie Brittingham at Stanley Korshak Bridal  in Dallas, TX, and florals by the Breakers wedding floral team… we of course sourced vintage ribbon and had her initials embroidered for her “something blue”.

A traditional ceremony was held at the groom’s childhood church. One little touch I love doing when the ceremony is offsite is to have a special decorated “just married” vehicle for the bride and groom to ride in alone to the reception.

Guests convened at the Breakers for cocktail hour in the courtyard, featuring several of our custom fabric covered bars, and oysters on the half shell served by Oysters XO. A garden style table covered in bright florals served as the escort card station… Die cut butterfly cards on garden stakes were handwritten with names and table numbers.

The dining room was set with a mixture of long and square tables topped with custom blue linen cloths, and alternating taller and smaller florals… miniature lamps and a sprinkling of candlelight added an old world ambiance.

A “sweet” dessert table featured a hand painted blue and white floral wedding cake by The Breakers, and the bride’s favorite French Macaroons.

After dinner, guests danced on a custom blue and white patterned dance floor, took vanity fair photos in front of the floral photo booth wall, and hit the after party until the wee hours in a separate party room in the hotel.
