Bella Collina: Domenic and Lisette

Rustic weddings are a joy to behold. The warmth and comfort they evoke is perfect for the start of a couple’s new life together. Domenic and Lisette’s wedding was all that and more. The breathtaking event was brilliantly planned by Blush by Brandee Gaar, while Amalie Orrange Photography expertly captured every beautiful moment.

The outdoor ceremony at Bella Collina was a beautiful sight. The angelic flower crowns donned by the flower girls created a flair of innocence and beauty, while Lisette’s bridal bouquet, featuring lush pink garden roses and white hydrangea, was the perfect complement to her stunning white gown.

After the ceremony, the couple headed indoors for the reception. A lot of thought went into every detail, to really evoke that rustic feel, from the greenery draping the sweetheart table for the couple, to the delicious “naked” cake simply topped with full, lush pink and white blooms.

As they say, all good things must come to an end, but Lisette and Domenic’s stunning sparkler exit was a beautiful beginning to the next chapter of their lives. Congratulations, Domenic and Lisette! We wish you all the best, and we’re thrilled to have helped make your big day memorable, along with these amazing vendors:

Four Seasons Orlando: Janessa and Steve

Every girl dreams of a wedding worthy of a royal, but only a few are lucky enough to have one, like Janessa and Steve’s wedding at the Four Seasons Resort Orlando at Walt Disney World. The coordination by Abbey Gray of Blush by Brandee Gaar was flawless as usual, and the breathtaking event was photographed by Concept Photography.

The day began with an intimate ceremony, with beautiful, soft draping by Swag Decor and floral arrangements of white and pink along the aisle. Janessa stunned in a long, white princess gown by Solutions Bridal Designer House, perfectly complemented by the pastel bridal bouquet that we’d created with peonies, roses, ranunculus, and garden roses.

The couple wed below a chuppah that had been lovingly adorned with white phalaenopsis, hydrangea, roses, and pink garden roses, adding that perfect fairytale touch to the ceremony.

After the ceremony, Janessa and Steve moved to the reception area, where the pink and silver theme continued. Eye-catching floral centerpieces of varying sizes rested atop the tables, featuring arrangements of phalaenopsis, roses, hydrangea, and pink garden roses.

The embellished card box, otherworldly lighting by Kaleidoscope Event Lighting, and the couple’s shimmery Sweetheart Chairs from Wizard Connection completed the look. However, the star of the show was the six-tier suspended wedding cake, with floral arrangements decorating the top and bottom tiers, creating a cake that was not only a delight for the taste buds, but also for the eyes!

We were honored to work with these vendors to create Janessa and Steve’s dream wedding. Congratulations on the start of your new life together!

Reunion Resort: Lynsey and Craig

In the case of Lynsey and Craig’s Reunion Resort wedding, all that glitters is gold. The couple enlisted expert wedding planner Blush by Brandee Gaar to bring to life the black, gold, and blush inspired wedding.  Bumby Photography masterfully captured all the glamorous details of this stunning event.

The outdoor ceremony started with a soft, romantic palette for the exchanging of vows. Bride Lynsey, carried a lush bouquet of white and blush tone ranunculus, hydrangeas, garden roses, dahlias, and anemones. The brick-paved aisle was lined with delicate rose petals, as bunches of white hydrangeas tied with black satin ribbon dangled from the crisp white resin chairs.

Things got a little more dramatic for the cocktail hour and reception. Chalk Shop designed some seriously enviable custom signs for the swanky affair. We adorned these works of art with floral swag embellishments. Black and gold glamour and luxurious textures was the name of the game for the show-stopping reception. The sweetheart table dazzled in gold sequin linen from Over the Top Rental Linens, as our floral garland paired with the newlyweds personalized chalk art added even more pizzazz!

The guest tables were equally as stunning with floor length black linens, topped with a modern black and white striped table runner. No glitz and glam was spared in the making of these beautiful tablescapes! Pops of gold accented the atmosphere with chiavari chairs, table numbers, candle votives, and gold-beaded chargers. We loved creating varying heights of floral centerpieces to add dimension and visual interest to the space. The arrangements boasted full blooms of white hydrangeas, orchids, and vibrant shades of pink roses. Friends and family were encouraged to indulge their sweet treat cravings with a candy buffet from Sweet Bliss Candy Stations and a classic buttercream cake from Party Flavors Custom Cakes.

We were honored to work with this talented team of vendors to create a stunning and memorable wedding day for Lynsey and Craig. Congratulations, we wish you a lifetime of wedded bliss together!

Isleworth Country Club: Betsy and Michael

A beautiful couple. A beautiful day. A beautiful wedding. Betsy and Michael reveled in a simply stunning wedding day at Isleworth Country Club. Perfectly planned and coordinated by Blush by Brandee Gaar, this affair boasted an effortlessly timeless design with a flair of rustic elegance. Kristen Weaver Photography captured every amazing detail of the couple’s special day.

We created Betsy’s bountiful bridal bouquet with lush ivory peonies, hydrangeas, ranunculus, and dusty pink roses. Her bridesmaids brought a pop of color with vibrant, full peonies mixed in with pale roses, hydrangeas and  green berry bunches. The groom, Michael, donned a sharp boutonniere of crisp white ranunculus with green accents. For the ceremony, we tied satin bows to lush sashes of greenery from the church pews to add texture.

For the outdoor reception, we dressed rustic wooden farm tables from A Chair Affair, Inc. with a garland of greenery, interspersed with clusters of peonies.  We especially loved how the five-tier buttercream cake was decorated with a floral topper that sloped down each frosted layer–a treat for both senses of taste and sight! Betsy and Michael ended their fairytale wedding with a romantic dockside send-off into the night.

Congratulations to Betsy and Michael on their beautiful wedding and new marriage! It was a treat working with this talented team of wedding vendors.
