This adorable couple chose to have their wedding in the Carillon Meeting House and the Village Green. The Destin-natives added wonderfully personal touches that made their day really special. Natalie even had a makeup artist from Atlanta to stand-by at all times throughout the day. It was wonderful and very glamorous! Who doesn’t like feeling like a princess, and what better day to feel that way?
Natalie created such a classy and elegant feel for her wedding, by choosing the right dress and perfect head/hair-pieces.
The guys got a chance to goof around at the Leaping Frog Wine/Beer Bar before the wedding started.
These handsome groomsmen stayed nice and cool in their khaki, seersucker suits.
Cue the makeup artist!!... It was a hot day, ladies!
Nouveau Flowers created this gorgeous cross that hung high above the bride and groom as Harry married them. The family was sweet enough to leave the cross in the chapel for the Fathers Day service that was to follow in the morning. The roses were such a pretty addition to the ceremony.
You can just see the excitement and love in Natalie's eyes as she stood with the Meeting House doors opened, catching her groom's eyes...
Genya (Vue Photography) comes up with the cutest ideas for wedding parties who are ready to be silly!
... Can't leave the guys out!
We'll never forget the adorable place-settings! They made them out of cork to tie in their amazing honeymoon to The Napa Valley in California!
Another fabulous idea was to have burlap squares for everyone to write sweet notes of encouragement, that would later become a really personalized quilt for Natalie and Kevin.
Thankfully, the sit-down dinner was fully equipped with menues that doubled as fans for the guests. This was brilliant as the head table waited to be served some delicious Townsend Catering!
I'll never forget, on the way back from beach pictures, Genya told Wesleyann that she had always wanted to take this fabulous shot down by the lily pads!... so of course Natalie and Kevin took on the challenge of walking precariously down a kill to get to the lakeside. The picture was well worth it!
Natalie and Kevin headed back to their reception and danced the night away! The lighting was perfect, and although there were some much-needed air conditioning breaks to the Meeting House, it only proved just how much fun this group had!
