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.

Mike & Jen were married at Ocean Key Resort on May 21st on the Sunset Pier.  Studio Marie Pierre and her team were on site for hair & makeup….Jen was stunning!  John Hunter Photography and his team were on site to ensure every moment was captured.  The couple were married at the end of the pier by Rev. Randy Becker and the reception followed under a beautiful white tent.  The bride wanted something fun and colorful, so we used a mango lamour table cloth covered with a sheer Parisian Stripe overlay provided by Linens in Paradise.  The additional elements of decor were accented with lantern lighting and beautiful tropical floral accents provided by Mama Flowers.

Courtney and Frank got married at Ocean Key Resort & Spa on Saturday, June 19th.  What an incredibly gorgeous and elegant bride Courtney was!  Rachel Absher Photography did an amazing job capturing each moment of the day.  The bride & groom spent time with Rachel prior to the ceremony, doing a First Look in Key West in some very unique locations.  What an incredibly classic and elegant way to capture the bride in groom in Key West.

Courtney & Frank’s decor and design were very simple and classic.  They wanted accents of turquoise & dark brown with essence of the sea with a classic starfish look.  We used a turquoise crush linen with accents of chocolate brown in the linen and chiavari chairs, and white in the starfish & tent linen.  An amazing accent to the beautiful Gulf waters on the Sunset Pier at the Ocean Key Resort and the Key West Sunset.

Shannon & Josh got married at the Oldest House in Key West on Duval Street.  They started their day with a first look at the Douglas house where all of their friends and family were staying.  They had their beautiful ceremony on the brick patio, followed by a beautiful, tented reception on the lawn.  Cantor Debbi Ballard from Fort Lauderdale officiated the beautiful ceremony that was combined with many spiritual readings and symbols.  BEAUTIFUL!  The bride & groom chose accents of yellow and white to accentuate their day.  All floral was designed and provided by Mama Flowers. and Black and Skabuddah a local band in Key West provided great ceremony and reception music.  Tracey Ahrendt Photography was their to capture each moment.  Shannon wanted to surprise Josh with a special groom’s cake called Mr. Met….provided by Cakes by Karol.  The evening was gorgeous and so romantic in the beautiful tropical garden atmosphere.  Thank you Shannon for being such an amazing person and organized bride…I had a blast planning with you and can’t wait for your next visit to Key West!  Congrats to you and Josh!

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.
