Kelsey is unlike any bride we've had the honor of working with; she's a wedding specialist at local resort and she knew exactly what she wanted - but even more, she had a unique story. Her now-hubby Luke had kept her strong through some serious health struggles that she faced. Their bond only became tighter as they faced every obstacle hand in hand. Now Kelsey looks back on her wedding day with all smiles knowing that she found her best friend and rock and gets to call him her husband every day. Details including cigar bar, palms & bright florals, and Costa Rican chocolates highlighted their love and heritage. Every touch, smile, and scar from their Florida Keys wedding was captured by Creative Imaginations, enjoy :) Kelsey wears her scar proudly and encourages other to see beauty in their personal experiences. "I don’t ever want to lose this. This is part of my story now. I want it with me. Forever. Wedding day and all." We just fall in them all over again when we see the emotion in this photo. May they feel this happiness every day <3 From the groom: "Wendy was the best! Money well spent to have her on our team. She made our wedding day smooth and stress free! Would absolutely recommend!" Vendor Applause!

Every so often we come across a once-in-a-life time venue that creates a dreamy setting for our events. As locals of the FLorida Keys, Jenny & Jimmy were offered this luxury waterfront home to exchange their vows. With a manicured landscape, charming french doors, and a white picket fenced beach, it couldn't have been a better location for their Hampton's-beach style celebration. Cool blues, fresh white, and pops of coral orange were complimented by home's breezy feel.
The poolside dinner reception was the ideal stage for their surprise synchronized swimmers! How unique is that?! All of the gorgeous photography by Stacia Morgan, and film by Skyborn Visual captured the beautiful wedding minute by minute. Enjoy!

As we approached Millie & Gabriel's wedding date, you could feel sparks of excitement from everyone involved. Their family dynamic was overwhelmingly loving in the sense that you felt like you were apart of their entourage at any given moment.
We always say that the best weddings are the ones that the planners actually have fun at; this wedding was surprising, entertaining, and positively emotional every step of the way. Osiris Photography & Film captured every smile, happy tear, and dance move through the wedding day, we hope you enjoy living Millie & Gabe's wedding through these images as much as we do!
"When I pictured Millie as a bride, I knew she'd be a classic beauty. When I saw her for the first time in her dress - it was so much more than I ever could have imagined" - Carin, ​planner

The destination theme of the year is a simple yet timeless combination of blush and tropical palms, and this intimate ocean side celebration is quite the reflection. The reception features tropical blooms that popped against a white backdrop and endless Caribbean blue waters.
But our favorite part of this wedding? During dinner the maid of honor gave the most touching toast celebrating the story of how Janelle & Derek began dating. She said "Janelle turned to me and said 'I think I'm in love with my best friend!'" And anyone married knows - that is the keys to a successful marriage! And so the best friends became husband and wife & shall live happily ever after. Enjoy this ever-dreamy day below, photos by Iris Moore Photography:

We were able to re-book them at the stunning Playa Largo Resort where they said their "I Dos" on a sandy beach under whimsical native buttonwood trees. Their reception featured tropical montesera leaves and brightly colored proteas to compliment the bay-side atmosphere, and of course Jamie's signature rose gold accent decor. After dinner DJ Buggy & friends rocked the dance floor with the newly weds and guests. Stacia Morgan is at it again with her stunning images: Pin-able moment! This charming rose gold lock was the memento of their unity ceremony, the unlocking of their wedding rings and their happily ever after. The engraved latitude and longitude of their wedding made this a very special keepsake. Thank you to following talented vendors!
