Allen and David’s Reunion Resort wedding was filled with love and romance. Rhodes Studios captured breathtaking images at this wedding planned by the talented Blush by Brandee Gaar. 

Allen and David’s outdoor ceremony was officiated by Sensational Ceremonies, and featured music by Harps Unlimited. Allen looked absolutely stunning with hair and makeup styled by Brides be Beautiful.
The wedding featured pink pastels and soft textures. Allen’s bouquet was filled with plush florals adding a feel of romance to the decor. Two Sweets Bake Shop provided delicious desserts at the reception including macaroons and yummy rock candy. Soundwave Entertainment provided eye-catching  uplighting and fun music for the reception. The long, elegant tables were topped with small centerpieces filled with roses and hydrangea.

Bella Collina: Alix and Mike

Alix and Mike’s wedding was one for the memories. Despite the day’s long drizzling rain, the couple was happily wed amongst friends and family in a beautiful ceremony beneath Bella Collina’s brick architecture. The ceremony was officiated by Lon Tosi from Sensational Ceremonies, and harpist Christine MacPhail provided lovely music. Blush by Brandee Garr coordinated Alix and Mike’s special day! Every fantastic image is by Amalie Orrange Photography.

Alix chose a variety of purple florals by Lee James Floral Designs for her bridal bouquet. The mixture of florals accented the textural design of her Lazaro wedding gown. Her bridesmaids held white baby’s-breath that added a soft, romantic feel to Alix and Mike’s ceremony. The reception space was decorated with white florals and simple candelabras, adding warmth and elegance. The Sugar Suite provided a stunning four tiered cake, Soundwave Entertainment provided music entertainment and lighting.

Winter Park Racquet Club: Nadine and Chris

Nadine walked down the aisle to meet Chris, framed by the Holy Family Catholic Church’s stained glass windows, bathing the room in their multi-colored lights. The bride carried our stunning combination of various purple flowers in her wedding bouquet. Her bridesmaids held accompanying bouquets in white, sprinkled with green. Jennifer Bennett caught all the stunning details on film. Blush by Brandee Gaar coordinated the event, making everything possible.

The reception was held at beachfront Winter Park Racquet Club and shaded by palm trees and Spanish moss. Kaleidoscope Event Lighting created a romantic mood with their bulb, string lights. Orlando Wedding & Party Rentals provided mahogany seating for the wedding party, incorporating the natural-colored theme. Our purple and green floral arrangements inside glass spheres completed the elegant look. Z Street Band played long into the night, bringing some fun and funk to the wedding party.

Bella Collina: Radiant Orchid Color of the Year

We couldn’t be more enthusiastic about Pantone’s Color of the Year: Radiant Orchid. The color’s name itself conjures images of an exotic location filled with hues of violet and pink. We were more than ready to showcase our inspiration at this Bella Collina photoshoot planned by A Bride’s Best Friend Weddings & Events Orlando. Jenna Michele Photography captured these beautiful photographs from our day.

This shoot was styled with a dream-like vineyard in mind. Our grand candelabras decorated with cascading florals added drama to the table-scape. The wooden tables, gold chiavari chairs, and rich plum linens were provided by A Chair Affair. The table was completed with menus by Pretty Peacock Planning and Paperie. The candy station by Florida Candy Buffets provided sweets that taste as good as they look, and the cake and cupcakes by Anna Cakes were designed to perfectly fit the concept of the shoot.

Of course, model Tori Jones looked stunning with hair and makeup by Brides be Beautiful and styling by Vensa Stewart. The entire shoot came together with uplighting by Elegant Entertainment. We couldn’t have been more proud to be a part of this amazing shoot. A huge thanks goes out to every vendor involved:
