Chelsey & Tony

Who loves fresh flowers at a wedding?

🙋🏼‍♀️ We do! We do! 🙋🏻‍♂️

Who loves Isn’t She Lovely Floral and Kelly McWilliams, Celebrations, Weddings, & Parties?

We do that, too!
And after this post, so will you!

Isn’t Chelsey so pretty? *sigh*

One thing (of oh-so-many) we love about South Seas Island Resort? How versatile its property is!
There are so many different locations and looks you can do for your wedding!
This ceremony was hosted on the Kings Crown lawn.

Oh, the romance!!

When describing the reception design to us, Kelly mentioned a “flower wall”.
Like, literally. A wall of flowers!

Congratulations to Chelsey & Tony!

Ashlee & Thomas

“I am my beloved’s, and my beloved is mine.”

Welcome to the wedding of Ashlee & Thomas!
Wedding planning & design by CocoLuna Events

Hair & make-up by Duality Artistry, pictured here at the Sundial Beach Resort on Sanibel Island!

Another gorgeous bouquet by Tom Trovato Floral Design!

How gorgeous are these ladies? Bravo, Duality Artistry!

Birds and sunshine overhead, sand and lovely lawn beneath your feet -
what more could a girl want than the Sundial Beach Resort?

With the arch provided by the Sundial and the creative minds of CocoLuna and Tom Trovato to decorate it, it’s no surprise this beautiful ceremony centerpiece was ready for Ashlee & Thomas to say “I do”!

Few ceremony officiants are as talented as Dr. Dan Lamey -
a personalized wine dedication to the newlyweds was so perfectly done!

Oh, did we mention the amazing beachfront the Sundial has, right on the Sanibel coast?

CocoLuna + Tom Trovato = auh-mazing reception design!

Ready to party? Entertainment by A DJ with Class!

This marbled cake by LadyCakes was so pretty!

Congratulations to Ashlee & Thomas, the first MSP couple of 2019!

Grace & Danny

“Elegance is good taste, plus a dash of daring.” - Carmel Snow, Harper’s Bazaar

We love a good quote - and nothing could better summarize the wedding day of Grace & Danny quite like this one from the Editor-in-Chief of Harper’s Bazaar.

As you journey through the day, the elegance and good taste will speak for themselves… but the daring part?
That’s a neat little story!

When Grace contracted with her florist (Floral Artistry of Sanibel), she fully entrusted the design of her bouquet, her arch, and her reception to the creative minds on the FAS team! She told them to use their experience and expertise to craft a lush design she would fall in love with - and they NAILED it!

Living in the Tampa area, Grace & Danny selected Sanibel resort Casa Ybel to host their special day. Casa Ybel has some of the best beach front on the island, but what the couple fell in love with was the greenery around the property - we didn’t set foot on the beach the entire day!

We’ve mentioned Grace’s impeccable taste, right?

Time to meet our groom - tall, dark, and handsome Danny!
::swoon::

Few things say “Florida dream wedding” like two palm trees perfectly framing the ceremony!

They do? They did!

Congratulations Mr & Mrs!

White lillies in a contrasting tropical arrangement added tons of interest for the reception centerpieces -
they symbolize humility and devotion, which is perfect for a wedding!

One of our favorite things about the reception decor was the sweetheart dinner table!

Few things are more exciting for us than working with Steve Farst -
he provided the entertainment for our own wedding, and is so super talented.

Even better than that? The father of the bride’s speech -
thoughtful and loving, it featured a cameo by two of Grace’s favorite childhood toys!

P A R T Y

We’re so lucky to have shared in such a special day! Grace & Danny epitomize everything an MSP romance stands for, and we’ll love them always!

Taryn & Daniel

Chicago, Illinois has a lot to offer - it’s a beautiful metropolitan city with lots of sights to see.
What it doesn’t have?
Palm trees. Beaches. South Seas Island Resort…

It’s no mystery to us why Taryn & Daniel decided to leave Chicago and celebrate their love on the sandy shores of Captiva Island!

We loved capturing Taryn’s wedding day beside our friends at iHeart Films - it doesn’t get more talented or easy to work with!

Ah, Taryn’s other half: Daniel.
Dashingly handsome and so super nice, Daniel is Taryn’s perfect match!

Taryn and her father are very close, and she wanted to arrange a special First Glance with him - are we glad she did!

Sunset Cove at South Seas is a gorgeous place for a wedding ceremony - the copper arch provided by Floral Artistry helped to showcase the natural, organic feel of the beautiful view!

Floral Artistry did such a lovely job with Taryn’s bouquet - it was the perfect size and shape for her gown!

With certain design elements by Kelly McWilliams Celebrations, Weddings, & Parties and Floral Artistry, their vendor team made Taryn & Daniel’s reception dreams come true!

Taryn & Daniel offered a make-your-own-trail-mix bar at their wedding reception -
it was the perfect healthy alternative to a candy bar, and guests had so much fun mixing the ingredients in personalized bags!

With the formalities over, it was time to let None Other rock the reception!
None Other is one of our favorite bands to work with - check them out!

Congratulations Taryn & Daniel! MSP wishes you the very best!

Happy New Year to all!
