Katrina and Brian at the Magnolia Building

September 23, 2009 – 12:11 am

On Sunday dad was in Lakeland for Katrina and Brian’s wedding at The Magnolia Building.  Katrina and Brian are friends with two of our past couples.  Kyla and Corey were married last October, and Erin and Eric were married three years ago.  They were both married at the Magnolia Building as well!  Dad said it was so awesome seeing all of them again.  They are wonderful couples.

The morning of the wedding Katrina got ready at the Terrace Hotel.  She had Julie and Darla Stafford there for hair and makeup.  It is great for Jason whenever he gets to work with them.  Katrina and Brian arranged a first sight where they were able to share the emotional first moment that they saw each other without all of their guests around.  The flowers were from Petals of Lakeland.  The reception was decorated with a vintage bird theme.  Tables were named after birds and sketches of birds were on the chocolate bar favors and bags at the candy bar.  Doug Decker from Grant Hemond was the DJ and is always terrific.  Delectables Catering made the food which dad enjoyed.  After the reception, dad took Katrina and Brian out for a few night pictures.

The couple is headed to Ireland for their honeymoon.  That is going to be an amazing trip!  Have fun and congratulations Katrina and Brian!

Mr. and Mrs. Coconut

November 6, 2008 – 4:18 am

Lynn and Matthew’s day finally arrived!  They booked with dad over a year ago and dad got to hang out with them for an engagement session and a family session.  They are such a kind and caring couple.  Mom has been following Lynn’s wedding planning process on both of her blogs.  Lynn is one of the bees on the Weddingbee website!  After seeing all of her fabulous ideas mom couldn’t wait to see the pictures from her wedding.

Stacy from Meant to Be Wed was the couple’s wedding coordinator and dad was excited to see her again and hear about her new (or not so new any more!) baby.  For hair and makeup, Lynn had the super talented and incredibly sweet Darla Stafford.  Mom thought Lynn’s hair looked so classic and bridal.  Lynn of course looked absolutely gorgeous in her Vera Wang gown.  And dad was thrilled to finally have a bride wear a bird cage veil!  Lynn wore it for some pictures during the couple’s first sight and then changed to a long veil for the ceremony.  At the reception, she had a cute hair pin as her accessory.

The wedding was held at the Magnolia Building in Lakeland and after a bit of an issue at the beginning of the couple’s planning with locations this site turned out to be the perfect place for their wedding.  Josh Gibson was the guitarist during the ceremony and dad said it was so sweet watching Lynn and Matthew exchange vows.  They were laughing and crying and so in love.  The officiant was John Melchinger from A Perfect Witness.

Echo Media Group was the couple’s videographer and the reception lighting was designed by Frank from Musitech (727-385-0800).  Rob Sword from Sword Sounds was the DJ and as always dad really enjoyed working with him!

Lynn and Matthew set up a “photo booth” during their reception for their guests to take some fun pictures and mom thought it was so funny when she saw the newlyweds in their “I Love Lynn” and “I Love Matthew” shirts with the silly props.  The photo booth was just one of many details that made the couple’s wedding so special.  The caramel apple favors, the flip flops in the wedding colors for all the guests to dance in, the gorgeous letterpress stationary, the multi-tiered cake with signs to describe the various flavors, and all the other little touches came together wonderfully.

Lynn and Matthew are going to have such a happy life together as husband and wife.  They are a terrific couple and they know they better stay in touch!

Kyla and Corey

November 2, 2008 – 12:35 pm

What a beautiful wedding!  Kyla and Corey were married last Sunday at the Magnolia Building in Lakeland.  The couple’s wedding planner was Entertaining Designers and they did a terrific job helping Kyla and Corey with their chocolate and pink decor and all their gorgeous details.

There was a kids table low to the ground with lots of fun toys and pretty pinwheels and big pink and brown pillows to sit on.  The sign on the table said, “I Don’t Want to Grow Up” which mom thought was cute.

The linens were just beautiful.  The linens on the guest tables were smooth, but on the other tables they were textured with a criss-cross pattern.  Mom loved the linens!

There were candles everywhere, especially in the fireplace where the ceremony took place, and the ceiling was decorated with hanging paper lanterns in shades of pink.

The spoons for the candy table had hearts on the handle which was a really cute touch.  There were chocolate bars with pink and brown wrappers personalized with Kyla and Corey’s name.  For guests without a sweet tooth, there was pretty teas and soaps to take.

Flowers by Edith was the florist and did an amazing job.  The centerpieces were raised on tall candelabras with tall pink candles and soft green moss hanging from the flowers.  The shorter centerpieces alternated between flowers set in green leaves with pink fern accents in nice bowls and thick candles in a glass enclosed lantern with greenery around the bottom.

And the cake was awesome!  It was like a pink tree decorated with flowers on a chocolate colored stand.  It was so unique!  The baker was SweetCakes.

Inspire Entertainment was the DJ and dad enjoyed working with him again.  Josh even had pink lights to go with the wedding theme.

Dad got to see Erin and Eric again!  They are a wonderful couple that had there wedding 2 years ago at the Magnolia Building as well.  Dad said he was happy to see you both again and he hopes you stay in touch!

Kyla and Corey thought of so many little details that made the day beautiful.  Thank you both so much for having us there to capture all of it!  You are great people and we wish you all the best!
