Click after the break to view a few more photos of our beach ceremony!
Our ceremony was on the sand, literally two feet from the waves. It’s how I always dreamed I would wed, and I am so lucky to have a husband who was understanding and passionate enough to share that dream with me. Like I said in my last post, I was a VERY relaxed bride. There were only a few things I ended up stressing about in the end. I wanted to have a really good photographer, because in the end the memories and photos are all you have left after those initial 24 hours have passed. I also requested that my girls have coral orange dresses, but I had them each pick out their own. None of them lived in the same state as each other, so I’d say it worked out pretty well! They all matched! I also knew that I wanted to have very relaxed formal wear, so my husband didn’t wear a tie or jacket, and our groomsmen were just dressed in black suit pants and a crisp, white dress shirt! My bouquet of sunflowers was my last and final request, and I have to say, they really pop in our pictures and I love the bright yellow versus any of the other flowers I considered.
P.S. The “Mrs.” necklace in the second photo is a Kate Spade piece was my husband’s gift to me right before our ceremony. It was absolutely perfect and I still wear it with pride to this day, of course. 😉 I’m not sure if I’m going to share photos of our reception only because I’m getting anxious to share some fun outfit posts and giveaways with you. I also want to give you a heads up, there are going to be some pretty exciting changes on the blog in the near future. Not major changes, but slight ones that will enhance your experience as a reader! Stay tuned!
your wedding ceremony looked so lovely! i think it's so important to just relax and enjoy your wedding day and you did this perfectly. you looked absolutely stunning too!
So pretty! We had a really relaxed beach wedding as well. I think it is better that way- you get to enjoy it more! You look lovely and I have that mrs necklace as well!
You look stunning! I am so glad that you were able to be relaxed and really enjoy the experience. I am a bride's maid in a wedding tomorrow and the bride is so anxious, it has been really difficult to get her to calm down. For having such a simple wedding, yours is so elegant and beautiful. Great work and enjoy the future with your husband!
I LOVE that you had a beach wedding! And the color of your bridesmaid dresses are perfection! Such a gorgeous wedding and bride! Congrats you two lovebirds!

Hey I my friends I tell you something can you give me answer. Keep it simpleBreaking away from traditional flower vessels is a simple way to totally change the look of your wedding flowers — and to get a completely unique centerpiece to boot. "Think about using Morocco-influenced urns, wooden boxes, tea cups, and vintage vases to hold your centerpiece arrangements," says Stephanie Elhayani of Seed Floral Couture in West Hollywood, CA.
