A wedding day is all about details. I cannot think of one detail left out of Leighann and Aaron's stunning summer wedding held in a lovely functional clubhouse just northeast of Lakeland. Much of this attention to detail was due to the remarkable relationship Leighann had with her talented mom, Ginger. Although we were brought in to the planning process just two months before the wedding, mother and daughter had 90% of their ideas already "in play."
A super sharp aqua, platinum/gray and white color scheme transformed the community clubhouse into a nautical wonderland. Leighann and Ginger were very open to some other texture options such as silver chevron runners between two aqua runners on each guest tables. They took advantage of our in-house centerpieces and utilized our white carriage lanterns with just a "smiggen" of baby's breath they provided for each table.

Although the bluish color scheme was a definite statement for the reception, Leighann opted to include a vibrant combination of fuchsia, orange, lime green, and yellow into her bouquets.

Photographer, Todd Thompson made certain he captured all of the small details of Leighann's attire in the wedding pictures.
Dad was very involved in the wedding day leading the room set-up just hours before the ceremony started in the same area as the reception. Below, Aaron takes a moment to reflect upon on a special note from Leighann during the "getting ready time."
We started with all of the chairs in place for the initial ceremony. Guest tables were pre-set around the perimeter and then our staff reset them with chairs once social hour began.
We loved all of the corresponding details of the aqua, white, and platinum theming. The "dynamic duo" thought of everything from an aqua colored program basket to framed bridal party bios for everyone to view during social hour.
Our staff was more than happy to place everything once our linens were set so the family could enjoy more of the wedding day festivities.
Although Leighann was a bit nervous moments before the ceremony, her mom and dad assured her that everything was perfect.
During the social hour, we featured a stationary presentation of of our hot beer cheese with various dipping items
Chairs were placed around guest tables and Leighann and Aaaron and bridal party members were whisked away to nearby Hollis Gardens for formal pictures.
