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!

The very long awaited wedding of Miggie & Matt has finally come to pass and all we can say is, "WOW." Miggie was nothing less than stunning in her Justina McCaffrey silk gown, her new husband, Matt, looked like he walked right off the set of the latest 007 James Bond movie. A big thank you goes to Castaldo Studio, the Grand Bohemian Hotel, Edgar Montero, First Presbyterian Church of Orlando, & O-Kartz for a job well done!

Meagan & Dwayne sizzle with Miami heat!

On Febuary 7th, our favorite girl from Miami, Meagan Owens, gave her hand to the debonair, Dwayne Jackson in a candlelit rooftop Orlando ceremony that brought many guests to tears. Brian & Richard from Flourish divulged the bride’s wishes with draperies, candles, and sparkle everywhere for her ceremony...


...then Flourish let flowers overflow and melt in gorgeous tall vases. Lead coordinator, Sharia Riley, played up the bride’s love of damask prints and bold color to accent the couple’s South Beach style. Can we say: Pistachio Crinkle Taffeta, Damask Velvet Linen, Chameleon Chloe Chairs, and Damask Plates? YUMMY!




The Grand Bohemian staff was on call for every guests’ wish and need, and served them well with a late night ice cream bar! Not to mention, DJ Carl, whom kept the beats pumping and the guests dancing.

Mercedes of the amazing, Bake Me A Cake, built a damask confection for Meagan!
A special thank you and "shout out" to Karla Fountain Photography for the amazing images!

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.
