On a beautifully overcast day in Seward, B and T’s Alaskan beach elopement was nothing short of enchanting! Nestled in cozy cabins right across the street from the shoreline, they got ready surrounded by tall trees. Then walked to the beach to exchange their vows with the majestic mountains standing tall across the water, a silent witness of their vows. What made their day even more special was the fact that they were talented florists from Utah who had lovingly crafted their own floral arrangements together. Their online meeting had blossomed into a deep connection that brought them to Alaska, and their elopement was a testament to their shared passion for flowers and each other. Against the serene backdrop of the Alaskan coast, B and T’s love story unfolded with a unique charm that perfectly matched the rugged beauty of their surroundings.

T + S’s elopement was an L.A. dream come true! Bright and early in the magic of a spring sunrise, this couple said “I do” on a sandy canvas with the Pacific as their backdrop. It was like the beach itself gave a standing ovation. But here’s the twist – it wasn’t just a ceremony; it was a full-on beach picnic extravaganza! Think fluffy blankets, mimosas, and avocado toast, all while seagulls provided the soundtrack. They didn’t just exchange rings; they exchanged bites of sweets too. The sun painted the sky in all shades of “happy” as they danced on the shore and laughed like they owned the beach. From vows to views to bites, this LA elopement was a love-fueled adventure that beach dreams are made of.

What you choose to wear on your wedding day is an expression of who you are and you should feel like the best version of yourself in it. No matter how particular your personal style is there is a dress, suit, or jumpsuit for you! If anything, the real trouble lies in narrowing down all the options out there. Lemme help you out before you even need to cross that bridge! 

The three things you should prioritize when looking for your wedding attire are: style, comfortability, and functionally (and budget as an honorary 4th thing). Let’s chat about all of the different places you can purchase wedding dresses, suits, and jumpsuits. Then we can get into the nitty gritty of fabrics, silhouettes, accessorizing, and everything between!

What a whirlwind an adventure! So, get this – K + A met 8 years ago back in Orlando (where they still live!) through mutual friends, and guess what? They just pulled off the most epic Key West elopement ever, and get this: in just a month! Talk about spontaneous and meant-to-be. So, they kicked off their big day chilling and getting ready separately at the Pier House Resort and Spa, getting all dolled up for the adventure ahead. And you won’t believe it, but they hit up the Key Lime Pie Bakery, diving into some killer Key Lime pie (we got the coconut one, so good!) before heading to the Hemingway House – priorities, right?

Sometimes, in life, you just meet people you click with. H and M are two of those people. They are phenomenal, kind, and so sweet to be around. I cherish all the time I had with them this afternoon and it could not have been better!

2 years ago they were supposed to get married in Key West, but we all know how 2020 went. D + K didn’t let that stop them from planning an intimate wedding in 2022!

Now on their 14th anniversary, they made it happen! It wasn’t initially planned that way, but I couldn’t think of a sweeter date for them to get married. We started the day K and the girls getting ready together at their beach rental before heading to the beach.

Florida weather is unpredictable, especially once hurricane season starts, but R, J + their families were true troopers rolling with the changes!

That is also a huge bonus to having an intimate wedding: more flexibility to change plans up because you are moving less people!

When D moved to Florida from Hawaii I gained a new friend and I am so glad that I did. T + D are down for anything including running around the beach as the last rays of light dip over the horizon and the sky turns colors of cotton candy.
