Vanessa and Alex were truly one of the sweetest couples we’ve ever had the pleasure of working with.
Married in early spring, their celebration was a reflection of everything they value — love for each other, deep connection with family, and a vision that was soft, colorful, fresh, and timeless.
The ceremony took place at the couple’s cherished church, and afterward, florals were thoughtfully repurposed and transitioned to their reception at Watermark Country Club. Sunshine poured through the windows that day, illuminating warm-toned chairs, pastel-hued glassware, soft napkins, glowing candles, and lush florals — all curated to feel effortlessly elegant in the natural light.
They dreamed of a celebration where everyone would feel included and delighted, so we added special touches like a live watercolorist, cozy soft seating, an ice cream station, and of course — plenty of room for dancing! Velvet is always in season for us, and the mossy green velvet linens added the perfect layer of texture and richness to the space.
Each guest table was thoughtfully styled with patterned napkins, colorful glassware, and organic-edged paper goods. Stephani from Sycamore Floral once again brought the vision to life with stunning floral designs, including a breathtaking statement arrangement that welcomed guests into the reception with beauty and grace.
If we were lucky enough to plan a Vanessa and Alex wedding every year, we would be overjoyed. Their families were an absolute dream to work with, and the trust they placed in us was the foundation for creating a truly perfect wedding day.
