A Serendipitous Meeting and a Sarasota Wedding
How they met
"We met at a Florida State University Basketball game… which we often laugh at because I hate sports. Going to that game was the best decision I made!"
Their venue and colors
"The Powel Crosley Estate in Sarasota, Florida!
Pastels - light blue, peaches, light pink, light orange,
blush tones, cream and subtle pops of brighter colors.
Almost like a garden party!
Shoutout to our wedding planner,
Lauren, who convinced us this palette
would look incredible."
One moment to relive
"If I could relive the ENTIRE day again, I 1000% would! But as for a specific moment, that would have to be when my Kyle and I were standing at the altar during the ceremony. Our close friend who officiated us told us to take a moment to look out at the crowd and capture a mental picture and take the moment in.
I would relive that moment forever if I could. There’s something so special about seeing everyone you love and care for all in the same place, knowing they’re all present in that moment just for us and our happiness. It’s surreal."
Finding her dream gown...
"I was worried finding the perfect dress would be tough, as when I look for something specific I never find
what I like and I didn’t have a specific dress style in mind.
We went to The White Magnolia in Tampa and I tried on
maybe 15 dresses and kept coming back to
Antonio Gual (which I was surprised by
the dress I chose because
I don’t usually prefer strapless tops or dresses)...
The Dress.
"When I tried on the dress, I remember it being
the only one I felt like an actual bride in
and where I felt like myself.
The tears from not only myself but from
my mom and maid of honors also solidified
it for me that this was the one!"
A special quote
"A quote that has stayed with me, aside from my husband’s many wonderful vows, would have to be part of
my Matron of Honor’s speech.
Her and I were living together at the time when Kyle and I started dating: 'I could tell from the look on her face and her demeanor over those first few months of 2020 that someone out there was making her days a little brighter. And that someone was Kyle.'
I knew Kyle was making my days brighter, but I hadn’t realized it she noticed it too. "
