Tell us about your wedding! What was the inspiration behind your day? Did you have a specific theme, style or color palette?
Our wedding day was perfect in every way. It was very relaxed and I had a "go with the flow" mindset. I was not stressed out in any way and everything was beautiful.
We got married on the beach at Navarre Marine Park, and the weather could not have been better. I didn't have any style or theme because I knew that no matter how little or how much we decorated, the day would be beautiful no matter what. We had a stunning ceremony, amazing reception, and having my beautiful family and friends there to celebrate with us made the day so much more special.
Let’s talk wedding decor. How did you decorate your space for the ceremony and the reception? Was any part of the decor DIY?
We did not have very much decor being that the beach house we rented was stunning in itself.
We made the centerpieces for the tables, my grandmother prepared all the food and margaritas herself, and my twin sister did my hair and makeup which was so special to me.
Did you personalize the day in any way (food trucks, guest entertainment etc.)? What were some of your favorite parts of your wedding?
My favorite part of our wedding ceremony was the sand ceremony and the rock toss at the end. Having all of our family and friends meet us at the shoreline and toss stones into the ocean with well wishes is something I will never forget.
I also loved how after the first dances were over, Tyler and I got to go to the third story deck for our first dinner as a married couple. We watched the sun set, we ate, and we laughed together discussing how perfect the night was going.
Let’s talk fashion. How did you both choose your wedding day look?
I chose my dress over two years before we got married. Actually, two weeks after I purchased my dress I found out I was pregnant! I was so nervous leading up to the wedding that it wouldn't look right, fit me, etc. However, it was the perfect dress for me and I loved it!
Tyler was very go with the flow, I recommended the linen shirt and khakis since it was on the beach and he was all for it!
What was the most anticipated or special moment of your wedding day?
My most anticipated moment on our wedding day was seeing Tyler at the end of the isle, I was most excited to see his reaction.
Do you have any wedding planning or marriage advice that you’d like to share with other couples planning their day?
The best advice I can offer to couples on their wedding day is to truly relax and try not to stress about anything. No matter how much you stress about certain things, it is going to happen the way its supposed to. Have a positive mindset from the moment you wake up and let yourself truly enjoy your day!
