Simply You Weddings

Eric & Erin got married at Tranquility Bay in Marathon, FL on the beach. The couple wanted to celebrate with their families in an intimate ceremony and dinner to follow on the beach overlooking the Gulf of Mexico. The event was accented with fuchsia pink and burnt orange. A big thank you to Tranquility Bay Resort staff, Soundwave Productions, Solaris Photography, Cakes by Karol & Petals with Pizzazz for a successful and beautiful Florida Keys wedding.

Adam & Valerie got married at the Marriott Beachside Resort on April 16th with their toes in the sand. The evening was perfect. John Hunter Photography was their to capture each moment of the day. The ceremony was followed by a cocktail reception near the Cabanas; poolside followed by dinner and dancing in the elegant indoor ballroom. The bride wanted everything designed with black and turquoise. We chose a beautiful Floral Silhouette from BBJ Linen with accents of turquoise in the napkin & chair ties. The floral was designed in all white by Mama Flowers creating a classic tone. The bride ordered customized champagne flutes that were waiting at the entrance of the reception for each guest filled with champagne and adorned with their placecard. Her cake was beautifully designed by Cakes by Karol. The group had an awesome weekend. They decided on a very casual rehearsal dinner at the Conch Republic Seafood Company and finished the weekend with a poolside brunch at the Beachside.

Jeremy and Lucy were married on the beach at The Hyatt Key West Resort on a beautiful April evening.  It could not have been a more perfect day. Our typical perfect April wedding weather.  After the ceremony, the wedding guests retreated to the Marquesa Room overlooking the Gulf of Mexico.  The room was accented with elegant smoky purples & adorned with beautiful lanterns in the vaulted ceiling.  The bride & groom decided to hit the town for some candid Key West Photos.  The talented team of John Hunter Photography was their to capture each moment.  They also were able to capture some unique photos on the Hyatt property.  After returning, their best man Mike, knew he had to give a toast to the happy couple.  Little did we know, he had arranged with the kitchen to make toast!! He presented the bride and groom with a freshly toasted piece of bread and they all danced the into the night.  Congratulation Jeremy an Lucy it was such a pleasure being a part of your special day.

Lisa & Jayson kicked off their wedding weekend in Key West with a themed sunset sail on board the Sebago Catamaran.  Everyone wore their most “random” t-shirt.  Great conversation pieces and a ton of fun.  Catering was provided by Wine by the Water!  Fabulous.  The couple got married at the Westin Key West Resort followed by a beautiful reception at the Audubon Gardens.  They had the best of both worlds; the gorgeous Key West Sunset and the tropical gardens.  The theme was centered around 3 different shades of blue and this fabulous graphic of a bird designed by Lisa’s bridesmaid.  She also designed all of the stationary.  AMAZING!  Lisa wanted an essence of vintage/garden throughout her reception. Mama Flower’s provided garden style floral with all white flowers to include; anenome mariachi lisiathus, white peony, sweet pea, brunia berries & sprigs of rosemary.  She and Jayson’s fun personalities matched amazingly with Heather Ahrens’ style of HA Photography.  The photos are beautiful and really capture their personalities and the life of Key West.  The bride & groom have are “HUGE” animal lovers, so in lieu of favors the bride & groom donated money to the ASPCA! It was a beautiful evening!  Congrats to Jayson & Lisa!

Jane & Kamal and their guests came from all over the world to celebrate at the Key Largo Hilton Grande.  The ceremony was celebrated among the mangrove trees and beautiful sandy beach at the resort.  The reception followed in the beautiful Treetop Ballroom where the group danced the night away to the Ruby Baker Band.  The Indian Dance performed by the bride & groom and then a surprise dance by the “girls” for the groom was a true highlight.  The decor was modern/chic and designed by Mama Flowers.  The color scape was accentuated by apple green bengaline and white sparkle sheer linen from BBJ Linen.  Susan Stripling Photography was there to capture every moment of this special day.  The photographs are amazing!  A true professional!    Congratulations to Jane & Kamal!

Joy & Patrick are two of the most amazing people and I had the privilege of helping them plan their beautiful wedding day at St. Mary’s Catholic Church and a reception to follow at Casa Marina a Waldorf Astoria Resort.

The Matron of Honor had the groomsmen’s pants designed and made and the Maid of Honor, Joy’s sister made the tables cloths, ceremony programs & placecards.  Two amazingly talented women!  Decor & Design was done by Mama Flowers, Key West Party Rentals and BBJ Linen.  We went with a Navy Blue, White & Cerise Pink as our color palette with accents of silver.  Key West Cakes did an amazing job with a replica of the linen design on the cake itself.  Marie -Pierre and team also did a great job in making the ladies look fabulous.

I had the opportunity to work with Shane Carpenter of Shane Carpenter Photography….WOW!  Truly talented and extremely easy to work with.  He captured Joy & Patrick perfectly!  I also worked with a new band that Joy & Patrick hired from Washington DC; The Source.  They were amazing and so entertaining.  The staff at the Casa Marina is still talking about them!  :)

Joy & Patrick; thank you for your friendship and continued support.  I can’t wait to see you September!

Congratulations to Jeff & Rochelle!  They were married on Sunday, December 13th at Fort Zachary Taylor beach and celebrated their marriage at the Ocean Key Resort & Spa.  The bride & groom choreographed an amazing first dance that was so much fun to watch.  The linen and decor were done with accents of apple green and espresso brown….and don’t forget the bows; a favorite of the bride!  Thank you to the staff at Ocean Key for another spectacular event with amazing food & service as well as John Hunter Photography, Milan Events Floral (the amaryllis were life like), BBJ Linen, Key West Cakes, Soundwave Productions, Lorri Bolander of a Key West Makeup Lounge and Key West Party Rentals.  Congratulations Rochelle & Jeff!
