Real Weddings: Jessica & Darren

"From this moment" Jessica & Darren are husband and wife. We must extend a huge thank you to this wonderful couple for including us on their special day. The team at Puff n Stuff did a wonderful job, and the Ballroom at Church Street looked fabulous. ...but not nearly as fabulous as Darren's gorgeous Jessica. Boy oh boy did the Langleys & Lowes have a great time. Take a peek and see for yourself:

"Can't Help Falling In Love" with Katie & Jason

May 9 brought us the wedding of Katie Brandon & Jason Farmand. Everything this couple did for the entire weekend was full of love.

Ceremony was held at the Cathedral of the Incarnation in College Park. Expert guitarist, William Colledge, played acoustic "Can't Help Falling in Love" as the bridesmaids and groomsmen entered the chapel, and switched tunes to "God Only Knows" for the bride's entrance. Aaron from Flowers of Winter Park did a fabulous job of decorating the church and reception. Reception was held at the Winter Park Civic Center. Katie and her mom, Pam Brandon, had a distinct vision for turning the civic center into a wedding reception dream. Puff n Stuff created tasting stations with such delights as Satch salad with flat breads, braised short ribs and mashed potatoes, shrimp and grits with fried green tomatoes, and a mediterannean cous cous with lamb that would knock your socks off. The family's love for food was seen everywhere, including the 5 tier masterpiece from celebrity pastry chef Erich Herbitschek of Disney's Grand Floridian. A big thanks to David Burke and his assistant John for sharing these images. David & John did a wonderful job covering Katie & Jason!

Celebrity Wedding Under the Stars...

Every once in awhile, we are honored when a celebrity chooses us to coordinate their wedding… and while we will keep the names of the bride and groom “to protect the innocent” we cannot help but gush on the beauty of this event and the undying love the couple had for one another.

The bride and groom couldn’t stop looking at each other, nor stop giggling the entire evening. Guests came to Cypress Grove and were greeted by white gloved service of lemonade and ice tea. They then were seated among the trees and a rose petal carpeted aisle for a ceremony filled with love and devotion. Flourish built a rose, orchid, and dahlia chandelier for the couple to say, “I do” under; and stunning floral arrangements paved the aisle way. To beat the heat, YFA and our bride provided Asian parasols and fans to guests.

Now the reception…just picture it, the sun going down among the cypress trees and lake… hot oranges, reds, pinks, and lime linens that shone with the setting sun. A stunning bride dressed in Monique Lhuillier lace. Flourish outdid themselves with low centerpieces of roses, dahlias, orchids, and daisies. Instead of your typical tent, YFA and our bride opted for South Beach looking umbrellas and lounge furniture with colored up-lighting on the cypress trees. Guests tore up the dance floor to the Latin salsa beats of Orquesta Los Soneros, and took breaks by snapping photos in a unique custom picture booth. To beat the heat, Puff ‘n Stuff served guests with ice chilled lavender oil towels. It was a wedding that any celebrity would be jealous of, but Your Fantasy Affair took a posh event and made it welcoming to folks of all ages and backgrounds. Stay tuned for more pictures to come from NuVision!

Holly and Robin

How wonderful must it be to marry your best friend for elementary school? This weekend we coordinated the wedding of Holly and Robin as they made their 15+ year friendship/relationship "official"! The couple exchanged their vows at the beautiful Downtown Baptist Church. Shannon Caine of Beautiful Music orchestrated the classical music during the ceremony. Immediately following, the couple danced the night away with family and friends at the Rosalind Club. Many years before, Holly's parents exchanged vows and celebrated their nuptials at the Downtown Baptist Church and Rosalind Club.

Puff 'n' Stuff did a fantastic job on the food and, my personal favorite, the smoothie bar. Domenico Castaldo took amazing shots of the couple as usual and Complete Music and Video did a great job keeping the guests on the dance floor!
