Chad & Rachel were married at the very quaint Winterbourne Inn on the St. John’s River in Orange Park, FL (located on the Club Continental property). They decided to have a “First Look” before the ceremony. I highly suggest this to couples! They were able to have a private moment to view each other (I stay out of the way as much as I can) and revel in their wedding day gloriousness. Then we took care of almost all the formal photos and portraits before the wedding, so after the ceremony they could get to the reception. I LOVE Chad’s expression when he sees her for the first time and how Rachel looks ready to burst with excitement!
I am so in love with her cake toppers- custom creations from The Enchanted Cupboard. They are going to be featured in the Spring/Summer issue of The Knot!
The wedding details were infused with lots of personal touches like family wedding photos on the mantle above the fireplace. The centerpieces were handmade paper flowers inside white pumpkins, for a nod to fall. All of the bouquets were handled by family. It gave the reception a very warm, intimate feeling.
Rachel and Chad made me feel so welcome- giving me multiple thanks and compliments throughout the day. So, now it’s my turn to give back- You guys were amazing to work with and I feel so lucky to have been chosen by 2 people like you! THANK YOU!
