Savoir Faire Couple: Amber & Steven

Amber and Steven traveled all the way from Kansas to exchange their nuptials on the beautiful beaches of the Emerald Coast. They chose the well known Santa Rosa Beach Club as their venue. Bright orange and pink lanterns adorned the entire terrace and set the stage for the festivities to follow. Their bridal party was such fun and all of the guests were really surprised when everyone recessed from the ceremony to "Sign, Sealed, Delivered" by Stevie Wonder. Thanks to all of my amazing vendors who worked the event and special thanks to Olimb Photography for sharing the images with me.

Savoir Faire Couple: Sheva and Eric

Sheva and Eric tied the knot last May in Santa Rosa Beach. They held their reception at the expansive and beautiful Forest Lake Lawn. The boat dock at the lawn makes for the most romantic lounge area and the entire neighborhood is so serene. Sheva and Eric knew they wanted to have an open air reception adorned with bistro lighting and paper lanterns. Luckily, the weather cooperated and their site glittered with the cafe lights and stars above. A lot of children were attending the wedding so we created an absolutely fabulous kids table for the wee ones to enjoy. Sorry parents for the sugar high but the kiddos had such fun :) Sheva and Eric, I so enjoyed planning your event with you. Thanks to Paul & Mecheal Johnson for the beautiful images.

Savoir Faire Couple: Dawn and Kane

I was so excited when Dawn told me that she wanted her 10.10.10 wedding to be in an intimate park setting. Don't get me wrong, I love beach weddings but it is always fun to do something a little different. Dawn and Kane live in Enterprise, AL, so Dawn was able to visit Destin often and was very involved throughout the entire planning process of her event. We chose the Butterfly Lawn at Draper Lake for her ceremony site and the reception followed at the Santa Clara house in Seagrove, FL. I learned so much about Dawn during our conversations. In addition to being a sheriff deputy, she also used to be a snake handler. One never would have thought that she is so tough just by looking at her! Thanks to Kim Carmichael Photography from Pensacola for taking such amazing shots. Congrats Dawn and Kane! I enjoyed planning your special day with you :)

Savoir Faire Couple: Nick and Nicole

Nicole first contacted me in January 2010 to help her plan her intimate wedding set for June 2010. We chose Henderson Beach State Park for the ceremony site followed by a sit down dinner at Marina Cafe, Destin, located on the Destin Harbor. Nicole's favorite flower is pink gerber daisies and her florist made her ceremony site too cute with her gerber daisy aisle. Thanks to Amanda Suanne Photography for the beautiful images. Congrats Nicole and Nick!
