Weddings No Comments »

On July 9th Bex & Russell traveled all the way from England with their closest family & friends to get married on the beach at Sunset Key and party the night away at the beautiful Old Town Manor.  The bride & groom envisioned a beautiful English Garden wedding…..Mama Flowers designed a beautiful garden style trellis adorned with hydrangea, peonies & antique pink roses followed by a picturesque reception at the  Old Town Manor in the garden.  Christy Transier Photography was on site to capture each moment of this special day. The bride & groom arrived in style at the reception after a quick drive up Duval Street. In the back garden….each centerpiece was uniquely designed and different on each table.  The tables were designed with pink lamour table cloths and an overlay of antique lace provided by Linens in Paradise. The group partied late in to the evening to the tunes of Nicole Ashley’s Band.   Congrats or Cheers as you all say, to Bex and Russell.  We had such a great time planning your wedding and wish you both a life time full of happiness.

Adrianna & Ian’s Destination Key West Wedding!

Weddings 1 Comment »

I had a blast with this couple and their family from planning all the way up to the event! :)  We began the wedding weekend with a bar crawl hosted by the Southernmost Scavenger Hunt, followed by a sunset sail on the Fury Catamaran catered by Wine by the Water, and for the main event the couple chose a beautiful sunset wedding on the Sunset Pier at the Ocean Key Resort & Spa.  From reggae, to the Village People to the Caribbean Queen Junkanoos this group could party.  I have to say this was one of the largest bridal parties Simply You has ever seen….a conch shell blower, bell ringers, (6) attendants, bubble blowers, flower girls and a ring bearer….wow did we have fun!  Adrianna & Ian asked their Uncle Wes to marry them in a beautiful ceremony with their guests looking on.  The bride was stunning….Studio Marie Pierre did an amazing job.  The decor was designed by Mama Flowers with green and yellow accents.  The bride wanted a simple/clean look.  The pier was adorned with a clear top tent which made for such an incredible ambience in the evening.  John Hunter Photography and Soundwave Productions were their to capture every moment of this fantastic evening.  And for a sweet treat at the end of the evening Cakes by Karol provided some amazing desserts.

I wish you all the love in the world.  Can’t wait for your December visit!  Nemo and Molly will be waiting to meet Cabrinha.

Chris and I go way back.  He traveled in Up with People with my sister Suzanne and her husband BJ.  He became a friend during visits to Key West and many family engagements.  So, when I got a call from Chris about a week prior to their trip to Key West I knew I wanted their day to be really special.  All he asked for was someone to marry them and what beach would be best.  Now anyone that knows me, knows that I wouldn’t go for just that….so, they arrived in Key West on Sunday to an ocean front suite at Ocean Key Resort & Spa.  On Tuesday evening we took the boat over to Sunset Key a Westin Resort where Heather & Chris exchanged vows on the private beach.  Marcela Morgan of Southernmost Bride married them as Solaris of Solaris Photography captured each moment.  We stayed for sunset and had cocktails with the newlyweds…they stayed after for a romantic dinner for two on the beach at Latitudes.  Thank you to Bill Foster and Stephanie Happ of Ocean Key Resort & Erin McLaughlin of the Westin as well as Solaris & Marcela for the amazing HOOK UP for my friends.

Heather and Chris…I wish you all the happiness in the world!  Thank you for letting me be a part of such a special day!  Love to you both!

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.
