Simply You Weddings

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.

Amy & Chris were married on May 28th at the Methodist Church in Key West followed by a beautiful ocean front reception at the Hyatt Key West Resort.  The men started their day by getting ready at the house they rented on Key Haven and the ladies pampered themselves at the Hyatt with Lorri Bollander of the Key West Hair & Makeup Lounge.  The Historic Trolley transported the guests and the groomsmen to the church and the ladies arrived via Look Limo!  The ceremony by Pastor Ruben was beautiful and a great way for Amy & Chris to start their lives.  While the happy couple took photos all over Key West with Solaris Photography the guests were transported to the Hyatt Resort for the famous “Blue Mojito” cocktail and hors d’oeuvres.  The reception followed upstairs with accents of Tiffany Blue linens with beautiful sheer sequin overlays from Linens in Paradise and beautiful candle and seashell centerpieces from Milan Events.  The couple had an amazing day and Simply You Weddings wishes them all the best!

I met Kristina, Israel and their beautiful son Colin about a year ago at the Westin Key West Resort. They both wanted something beautiful and simple on the water for sunset. They got married on the south pier followed by a reception under a tent overlooking the blue waters in Key West. Kristina wanted something a little more garden style while using a color palette of white, light blue and brown. We utilized the brown floral silhouette with accents of light blue lamour on the dinner tables enhanced by the white flowers designed by Milan Events. John Hunter Photography was there to capture the special moments and the story of their evening. Congrats to all of you! I had a blast working with you and wish you many happy years to come.

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.

Jennifer & Scott are Key West local’s and got married on March 10th at the West Martello Garden Club.  The ceremony took place on the top of the hill at the Gazebo overlooking the beautiful Atlantic Ocean.  The girls wore a unique color of teal and were accented by Love in Bloom’s design of blue’s, yellows, oranges, purples & whites. Sangria & cocktails followed by the almond tree with food provided by Wine by the Water.  The dinner took place in the courtyard adorned with accents of teal, silver and romantic candle light.  The Garden has so many unique little areas for each facet of an event.  Each moment was captured by the talented John Hunter Photography.  An amazingly easy couple to photograph; BEAUTIFUL!  Studio Marie Pierre did a fantastic job enhancing the beauty of these three sisters; WOW!  Jenn & Scott thank you for the opportunity to be 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!
