I wrapped up my 2011 with 3 FABULOUS weddings each one so unique from the next. Carly and Wesley’s wedding took place at the exquisite Ritz-Carlton Grand Lakes here in Orlando and took a classic turn on having a wedding during the Holidays. They kept it elegant using white tones and silver accents throughout. Even their desserts were white chocolate everything…all that a girl could ask for. Carly and Wes opted to see each other before hand and what a moment it was. When Carly turned around and saw Wes standing there, I could feel a huge calm come over here as she shed a few tears. It was as if she could now relax now that she was with him. After signing the Ketubah, their traditional Jewish ceremony took place underneath a white gazebo overlooking a lake. The weather was amazing for December, low 70’s and clear as a bell, perfect for their outdoor reception. And what a sight that was! You can see in the images below from the detail shots and Carly’s reaction that the decor was absolutely breath-taking. Thanks to Heather Snively and her team and the gorgeous floral from the talented team at Botanica, the space was transformed into an all-white fairy tale complete with white chiavari chairs and twinkling market lights. Carly and Wes were such a dream to work with, so laid back, but yet knowing exactly what they want at the same time…a great combination. I truly enjoyed documenting their wedding and all of the priceless moments that occurred within. Thanks Carly and Wes for being you and congratulations on one spectacular wedding! xoxo – Abby
