It was a gorgeous Friday afternoon for a wedding- just a touch of fall crisp in the air. As Janice put on her dress, you could see the excitement radiating from her. Her wedding day was here, and as she waited below the Magnolia tree for her groom to see her, she knew it was everything she had dreamed of.Michael was just as ecstatic to marry Janice, his smile was electric when he finally saw her. The two planned an intimate gathering for their closest friends and family to keep it romantic and elegant.
These two selected Palm Valley Gardens as their venue and its one of my favorites. The Tuscan style of the decor, and the nuetral color pallette, make it fabulously for so many colors and wedding styles. And Janice and Michael’s elegant red rose and bling wedding was no exception. With decor from Tiffany at Floriade, the details were amazing and popped perfectly!
Thank you so much you two for allowing me to be a part of your incredible wedding day!

And some other fun details from Janice-
He proposed at the Hard Rock Hotel and Casino the day before Valentine’s Day, which was also the same night as our going away party with our friends. It was right before we had a romantic v-day dinner. We were moving to Jacksonville a few days later.
We wanted to keep our wedding simple, but elegant. We chose our color by the flowers and what would look good at night with lots of candlelight. We chose classic red rose and went with black and white/ivory too.
I loved a few different parts of the day. I loved spending time at the venue before with my family and friends, and how we all got ready there. I also loved how the ceremony was intimate and Mike and I made it about each other. I loved the photo booth and the cake cutting too!
Advice I would give is plan for a lot more time than you think is necessary. Add time to your extra time.. Lol! The day goes by so fast and you want to enjoy it and not be stressed to get things done. Enjoy and take it all in!
We went the Bahamas and stayed at The Cove Hotel in Atlantis. It was gorgeous!! We had bad weather, but the resort was amazing!
