Ultimate Bridal Fantasy in St. Augustine

We had the privilege to be a part of a bridal show at the World Golf Village in St. Augustine. It was really an eye opening experience with meeting over 500 brides. The brides came in from Jacksonville, Tallahassee and of course the local brides. We even had some Gainesville Brides...you know who you are. We say you the week before too. Great to see you.

Check out the fashion show that was put on by local bridal salons.

We were able to see Darice Michelle which did our Brazilian wedding in November so we were able to catch up with each other. Check out her fashion show pictures. If you have time she has a ton more on her blog.

Hope to see you at the next show. It is on August 30, 2009 at Renaissance Resort at World Golf Village.

Stefanie and Derek's Wedding Affair

We just did our first Brazilian Wedding. Stefanie and Derek Humphrey got married at The Family Church here in Gainesville with their reception at the Thomas Center. The Thomas Center was the perfect setting for their Vintage Wedding Affair Reception. We had a caricature person there to do caricatures for favors for all of their guests. The food was homemade Brazilian desserts and mini appetizers for their guests...but wait you haven't seen the cake yet. The cake was OUTSTANDING. Ms. Debbie Sugar Art did a TOTALLY AWESOME, OVER THE TOP, WAY OUT THERE cake. It was a bride's dream come true. Stefanie was so thrilled when she got to see the cake she was speechless. And if you know Stefanie that is hard to come by. She was in 'awe' that Ms. Debbie did every last DETAIL she wanted. (This picture is still to come. I will post it immediately once I receive it.)

We were privilege to work with a new photographer to us that traveled from Jacksonville. She just meshed right into Stefanie's family. You would have thought they were family. It was so nice to see them work so well together. Darice Michelle photographer was the trooper when she got in the limo after the ceremony and dared to go with them to the reception. As you will see she got some pretty terrific shots. You might want to check out her web site for other pictures http://www.daricemichelle.net/.
