Mary and Kevin - TPC Sawgrass, Ponte Vedra Beach

Mary and Kevin had a beautiful tented wedding on the TPC Sawgrass clubhouse lawn. It was such a windy day! The centerpieces kept blowing over, so we had to improvise with the placement of some of the decor. Luckily, when it was time for the reception the breeze had died down and it was a lovely evening for an outdoor event! And Mary’s dress was so amazing - it had a skirt that could be worn over the dress, so she had two looks without having to change dresses. Perfection!

Elizabeth and Kyle - TPC Sawgrass, Ponte Vedra Beach

Elizabeth and Kyle’s TPC Sawgrass wedding ceremony and reception were amazing! They are such a terrific couple with fun and loving families, and they really wanted their guests to have an amazing experience. Including fireworks! The guests watched the fireworks from the 2nd floor balcony while the bride and groom spent a few minutes outside on the clubhouse lawn to enjoy the show.

Jacksonville Wedding Venue Tour

We had a great time last Sunday participating in the first Jacksonville Wedding Venue Tour, hosted by our friends at The Wedding Loft. The premise is that brides and grooms visit four venues, all set up as they would be for a wedding, and they get to enjoy food and entertainment while meeting great wedding professionals. It's like a bridal show on wheels!

We were at The Carling, which is an interesting historic venue in Downtown Jacksonville. The building was formerly the Carling Hotel/Hotel Roosevelt, built in 1925; now it's home to gorgeous apartments! Restored architectural features include Palladian windows, terrazo floors, and a beautiful marble staircase to the private event space.

Thanks to J'Adore Studios for the fun photos! To see more photos from the tour, check out Liz's blog post.
