When Carrie first told us about her ideas for a vintage African Safari themed wedding, we knew it was going to be amazing!\u00a0 They had planned a safari trip for their honeymoon, visiting Tanzania and Rwanda and even trekking with mountain gorillas!\u00a0 Their wedding had that trip as their inspiration and they used lots of vintage safari details and decor to make it all come together.\u00a0 The ceremony was at Sugar Creek Ranch and then their reception was at a private residence in Sarasota.\u00a0 The food was from Simply Gourmet Caterer<\/a> and included yummy treats like peruvian ceviche spoons, herb crusted roasted aged new york strip, and a lemon meringue and apricot upside down cake.<\/p>\n

Guests were first introduced to the theme of the wedding through the invitations.\u00a0 Carrie and Cory sent out a vintage style Western Union telegram asking guests to pack up their “finest binoculars and a thirst for adventure Stop.”\u00a0 Jason fell in love with all the animals at the ranch and it was obvious that Carrie and Cory were animal lovers as well, not just because they were going on a safari for their honeymoon but also because they made sure their dog Dublin Belle was included in the wedding day too.\u00a0 When the guests arrived, they enjoyed the views of the ranch and the animals as they took a hay ride to the ceremony site.\u00a0 Cory had a more adventurous ride over in the big-wheeled Swamp Donkey!\u00a0 He had started his morning with the tradition of digging up a buried bottle of bourbon.\u00a0 It was a bit more of a challenge to find it than he had expected, but that made it even more fun!\u00a0 The bride and groom got together for a quick first look before they went to their ceremony and exchanged vows.<\/p>\n

Carrie looked so pretty in her gown with vintage lace and a veil for the ceremony.\u00a0 For pictures and the reception, she changed her look to match the safari theme by taking off the lace and adding a brown necklace and matching brown leather belt with an elephant buckle.\u00a0 By the end of the night, her hair was down in loose curls and she was ready to party!\u00a0 Everyone had a great time at the laid-back, candlelit reception.\u00a0 There were tons of details inspired by Africa, including zebras, lions, elephants, and other safari animals.\u00a0 Jason was jealous that Carrie and Cory were leaving to experience the real thing soon after!\u00a0 We know that was the trip of a lifetime, and the perfect way to celebrate after a beautiful day starting that lifetime together.\u00a0 Congratulations to the newlyweds!<\/p>\n
