Real Wedding: Heather & Scottie {Part One}

Heather (my Reese-Witherspoon look-alike bride) married her adorable, long-time beau, Scottie in a beautiful church ceremony at First Presbyterian Church in Lakeland, FL. The reception took place across the lake at the Yacht and Country Club. I could not have asked for a more perfect wedding day for this amazing couple!

Check back for Part Two of this gorgeous wedding...

Time flies when you're planning weddings.

Wow! It's been forever and a day since I blogged last. (So sorry for the slight hiatus). I am finally coming up for air after one of our busiest and most exciting wedding seasons ever! I have many fabulous things that I am just dying to share with all of you.... So, stay tuned!! XO

Peach and Gold Wedding Inspiration

Peach is one of the latest wedding colors that is coming back in full force. It's soft, romantic, and offers a little bit of a twist from the popular color pink. Paired with touches of gold and lace accents (as seen in this inspiration board that I created for you all) and you could NEVER go wrong. Enjoy!

Look for individual photos, products, and credits on the Olivier Events (Ashly Olivier) pinterest boards!

Valentines Day......{Hello Cupid, I'm right here}

Yes, I did just try to get a sympathy arrow from Cupid via my blog. But that's beside the point. We are just a few days away from the LOOOOVE Holiday, which (believe it or not) I do LOVE. Mainly because of the sweets. I thought it would be sweet of me to share some Valentines Day ideas and inspiration with you all. Follow me on Pinterest to view all of these photos and more.

Wishing you ALL lots of LOVE this Valentines Day! ~XO

Real Wedding: Blaine & Ryan get married in Tampa, FL

Blaine and Ryan recently tied the knot in a front-yard wedding ceremony at a private residence in Tampa, FL. Not only did the beautiful home overlook the bay, the property was covered with gorgeous garden areas and large oak trees. I could not have dreamt of a more perfect setting for a wedding ceremony! The reception was held at the historic Tampa Firefighters Museum, which was just so fitting for a Groom who is a fireman (like Ryan).

For thier overall wedding design, the couple chose to accent the color black with various metallics and soft shades of pink. Along with gold place settings and chiavari chairs, an abundance of Mercury glass was incorporated into each table design. Blaine's bridesmaids wore a dress of their choice, which were all in the champagne/gold "family." I personally LOVE this idea and thought that it looked amazing.

What a FUN wedding this turned out to be! As you can tell from the photos, Blaine and Ryan are ALL ABOUT the laughs....which is right up my alley. Best wishes to this incredible couple!
