Wedding Disasters and How to Avoid Them

Wedding Disasters and How to Avoid Them

Let's face it, you do not want your wedding day to be remembered as a disaster or by stressing about the possibility of what could wrong. Example, we live in Florida, that means for a few months out the year it's Hurricane season. Last year alone, was one of the worst with the impact that Irma left on our city. It's for this reason I actually do not take on Florida weddings from August to late October now, unless certain requirements are met. If you do decided to get married during Hurricane season, please invest in wedding insurance. Wedsafe and Traveler's offer some great policies to help protect you from possible wedding disasters. 

Of course, we can only do so much about Mother Nature, but here are some of the other things that can happen and ways we have helped fix or avoid these potential problems.

Real Weddings| Taylor and Wes| Colorful Home Wedding

When Taylor told me she was getting married, I was so excited for her and Wes (I actually meet Wes when I did Taylor sister's wedding a few years prior and I justs knew that was going to the start of something special). Then she told that she wanted a small wedding at home and I was like "Oh Yes, building spaces from the ground up are my jam!". She wanted the string lights and everything outside under the stars. She wanted to make sure that the Tree that Wes proposed to her under was made a centerpiece of the wedding as well.

Lindsay + Brian’s Epping Forest Yacht Club wedding was one for the books! They pulled out all the stops for their guests and it was absolutely gorgeous! Epping Forest is at the top of my list for luxury wedding venues because, well, do you see that view? Of course, that isn’t the only thing- they have amazing amenities, fantastic food, and stellar service. They KNOW luxury and provide Northeast Florida with a top-notch option that I’m proud to recommend to my clients.

Not a detail was forgotten. Not a moment not captured. The ambience of Bella Collina in Montverde (just outside of Orlando) is truly captivating. It will take your breath away- the old world charm with all of the modern, luxurious amenities. The string lighting, the sweeping oak trees, the lush greens- it is a backdrop that can’t be forgotten.  Despite the expansive space, it still feels intimate. As if you have been swept away to a Tuscan village and you are at a private estate with your closest friends and family.
