Who doesn’t love a fun, out-going and laid-back couple?! This definitely describes Angie and Tim. They were so wonderful throughout their entire year of wedding planning with us. I remember talking with Angie and her mother about their fabulous family vacations to Tuscany, so it was was important to them to create the same look and feel of a Tuscan evening. The details were perfect and the night was beautiful! One of our favorite parts of the night was when Rae Leytham Photography announced the option of the ShootShed, and the guests started RUNNING towards the photo booth to get their hilarious pictures!
The beautiful bride rented the home, “Do Da Days”, and just loved every minute of it! The house was close to the beach so Angie was able to sneak away and read a book with her big sun hat on!
Angie’s dress was just perfect on her!
Angie and Tim chose not to have any bridal party to stand with them, instead they had their siblings seated to special music to signify their importance. They chose to have a gorgeous arrangement of olive leaves/branches that were later transferred, in their urns, to the reception.
After their ceremony, Angie & Tim were able to escape together for some alone time and these gorgeous beach pictures!
One of the best parts of getting away for sunset pictures, is being able to see their Village Green reception across the Lake Carillon! The lights around the perimeter are just magical at night!
For escort cards, Angie & Tim had old pictures of themselves printed in sepia color-tone, and strung for everyone to see! It was such a sweet idea and surely a conversation-starter! Something fun they also incorporated were a double-magnum and magnum-sized wine bottle that they had guests signed. Someone special to the couple had given these to them before he passed. The silver Sharpie maker worked perfectly!
The conversation pieces! 🙂
In the reception, the guests walked into Angie’s “Tuscan Wedding.” After meeting with the florist, we knew the best touches to make this a complete look. From beautifully weathered vases, to apothecary jars and urns, the simple greenery and flowers were exactly what Angie dreamed of! There were even stationary fans that lightly rotated over the head table. We had the tables numbered with little tags that hung around the neck of wine bottles. One of my favorite details was that her sweet, grandmother embroidered all of the “B’s” for the napkins at the head table. This just added such a personal touch… I loved it!
The gorgeous, cream-colored “bark” linens and the beautiful mahogany chairs looked fabulous with the wicker chargers!
The Brack’s first dance was to “The Sun is Shining Down” and their guests just loved watching them twirl around the dance floor! Here’s another great shot of the head table and the fans!
You could just feel the laughter in the tent as Tim, Angie’s father, gave them a welcome toast/speech! Champagne was passed around for everyone to enjoy!
Although they had a fabulous cake for dessert, the surprise came out later in the evening, when freshly-baked cookies and milkshakes were introduced! It was a delicious treat for their guests, plus who could pass up that perfect lounge area by the lake?!
This was definitely a dancing crowd! There was certainly never a dull moment! From the looks of it, some of the hilarious props from the ShootShed made their way to the dancefloor!
Here’s a taste of just how fun photo booths can be! I know that Angie & Tim’s guests really enjoyed being able to sneak in and take some silly pictures in between dances!
A breath-taking ending to a wonderful evening. Congratulations, Mr. & Mrs. Brack! We’re so happy for you!
