As Lindsay, Nicole's maid of honor, helped her put the finishing touches on her gown, the excitement was rising amongst the girls.

With the girls getting ready at "Inn Between" with Mecheal Johnson (Paul Johnson Photography), the guys left their rental home early to capture a few group shots with Paul Johnson (Paul Johnson Photography).

The incredibly talented music from Bay Arts Duet (Violin/Viola) welcomed everyone into the Meeting House. Fran Bullock (Wedding Music Plus) and Elaine always come prepared to play a half-hour prelude as guests are arriving. Through a very helpful meeting with the bride, Fran is able to assist the bride in choosing the perfect music for her ceremony. Her goal is to "make the hairs on your arms stand up." The acoustics in the Meeting House certainly create a grand entrance for the bride as she walks down the aisle.

Nicole decided to decorate the beautifully simplistic, Meeting House with a wreath and sheer drapery. Christina (Events by Nouveau Flowers) always does such a good job at bringing out the beauty of the area, without taking away from the bride and the groom.

As her dad sweetly kissed Nicole, he handed her off to Ben's care. They brought in their own officiant, Judge Wood, who brought a personal touch to the ceremony.

The newly married couple couldn't hide their excitement and relief as they exited the Meeting House to the traditional "Wedding March."

The couple's sunset time with Paul & Mecheal Johnson (Paul Johnson Photography) is always the perfect opportunity for these romantic shots.

Nicole made such a beautiful bride!

Christina's team at Events by Nouveau created such a natural and elegant feel to Nicole and Ben's reception. The calm lighting from the cafe lights, along with the indoor-outdoor dining, made for a perfect night.

Their smiles say it all...

You can really see her gorgeous gown, as well as the the Meeting House that was already set up for their reception. Nouveau Flowers always does such an elegant setup.

Our traditional send-off marked the end of a really wonderful night for the Diaz's!

Rain or shine (thankfully, SHINE)... the champagne was popped, the dress was on and the elegant cake was ready... this gorgeous wedding was on!

Susan's bridesmaids were all gowned by Carillon's very own Bella Bridesmaid bridal shop! What Carillon Weddings bride would want to pass up the bridal incentive? They were gorgeous Melissa Sweet dresses with a blue that was just perfect for the beach!

Susan's final sweet moments before becoming Mrs. Williams! Her bouquet (Nouveau Flowers) was so beautiful! As you can see, the sky truly opened up for Susan and David. Their wonderful guests anxiously awaited the beautiful bride as she walked down the Beach Walkover.

The newlyweds were inundated with simple, white rose petals that were tossed as they exited the ceremony. Harry certainly performed his signature service... he always keeps us smiling!

No fabulous wedding is complete without a cake-smash!? (Maybe it was the Tennessee Volunteer cake that was David's surprise from his bride?)

Clearly, this couple was pumped as they ended the evening with the signature "sparkler send-off" provided by Carillon Weddings!

Perfectly clear, blue skies were present on Nita and Patrick’s big day!  You truly could not have asked for better weather.  When meeting with Victoria earlier in the year, the couple swooned over their collaborative ideas to hold both their ceremony and reception on the Village Green.  The Green was transformed throughout the night with beautiful simplicity and an elegant touch (Nouveau Flowers).  Guests were able to dine underneath the stars with plenty of candlelight.

The expression on Patrick's face as he saw his beautiful (soon-to-be) wife walk towards him was priceless.

The ceremony was perfect underneath the custom-designed awning.

The newlyweds take their first steps together...

The tables were moved in as soon as Nita and Patrick were married. Townsend Catering set up their always-delicious cuisine. Nita and Patrick chose to have serving stations that were differentiated by the tan umbrellas and a string of lights.

A simple balance of glass candle holders, white flowers and candles were spread throughout the dining tables.

Patrick's breath-taking bride.

Paul and Mecheal Johnson (Paul Johnson Photography) captured such a wonderful angle while Nita and Pat cut into their delicious Confections on the Coast cake! I think the boys were ready

As the night grew darker, the atmosphere grew even warmer.

Harry Houseman (the Carillon minister) always keeps us laughing during the ceremony.

On to the reception! These little details are what make a couples' wedding day so special. The guests love it!After getting announced in, the newly married couple share their first dance to "You Are The Best Thing."

Lauren chose to emphasize the beauty of the Meeting House.

Carter calmly loops his tie one last time as a single man.

Lauren and her bridesmaids all leave the "Boogie Board Inn" with the knowledge that the time has finally come!

Lauren chose to have both of her parents walk her down the aisle on her special day.

Paul & Mecheal Johnson (Paul Johnson Photography) captured that amazing moment when Carter first laid his eyes on his beautiful bride.

The peaceful and symbolic sand ceremony was accompanied by Carol Hayes's (Wedding Music Plus) beautiful solo violin music.

As a wonderful surprise to her husband, Lauren had a Scottish bagpiper play as they left the Meeting House. This was a special nod to Carter's Scottish heritage and studies in Scotland.

The couple chose a simple pole tent that had a great focus on the dance floor as well as the beautiful cake (Confections on the Coast).

Although the week leading up to their wedding was full of rain, Mr. & Mrs. Chism were able to enjoy their "just-in-case" umbrella as a decoration only.

Thankfully, with clear skies overhead, guests were able to make use of the hi-tops outside, lit by the cafe lights and the stars.

With a sweet kiss to her mother, Lauren & Carter were off!... Congratulations, Mr. & Mrs. Chism!

It was a very special moment to have Laura's mother lace up the back of her beautiful gown.

Townsend Catering worked magic again for Laura and Michael's big day. Rhonda (Confections on the Coast) made another breath-taking beach themed cake. All of the details in the palm trees, starfish and beach decor completed the theme.

The West Pool proved to be another perfect venue for Carillon Weddings. The water reflected the intimate candlelight and made the wedding feel warm and romantic.
