FALLing in Love with Emille & Nick

Emille & Nick met while in college at the University of Florida. Nick was a kicker on the football team, and Emille had a long love for sports and the outdoors. They came to the ladies of Your Fantasy Affair requesting an outdoor wedding where they could let guests share their love for Florida’s natural beauty, and have a GREAT time.
Flourish Floral Productions left no detail untouched. The bride’s white lush bouquet coordinated with the groom’s calla lily boutonniere.

The groom gave his groomsmen personalized baseball bats as attendant gifts.

Ceremony was set at Paradise Cove, with a gorgeous lake backdrop, bamboo rattan chairs, and cypress trees and tall urn arrangements framing the altar. The aisle was accented with a monogrammed runner and shepards hooks with mini daisies in the bride’s fall theme of colors.


Guests howled when the groom accidentally dropped the bride’s ring in the sand. But their love of the couple only grew with the mishap. (Note to brides: Marriage isn’t perfect either!)

After ceremony, guests were greeted by caramel apples with paper leaves that enclosed guests’ names and table numbers.

Cocktail hour was set with a cigar roller, jazz duo, Arthur’s Catering passed appetizers, a stunning lake sunset, and twinkling lights overhead.


Guests entered a reception pavilion covered with twinkle lights, chocolates, and burnt oranges. The low multi-colored arrangements by Flourish were accented with cracked glass candelabras and tons of votive candles for extra romance. Zoet Cakes delicious confection was accented in coordinating fall florals…

For fun we brought in a photo booth along with a tiki torch/ribbon display area with clothes pins so guests could display their film.

We had trouble keeping the adorable flowergirl out of the PhotoMagic photo booth.
As guests feet began to swell from dancing to the Leonard Brothers, they migrated to our beach lounge with sofas, fire pit, cigar roller, and smores station. For a fun touch, Kaleidiscope added the couple's monogram to the sand.
