Chris and Christina's beautiful Fall wedding

Chris and Christina's intimate Fall wedding took place at The Palmetto Club in Lithia, FL. After an evening ceremony on the lawn, guests enjoyed dinner and dancing in the beautifully-transformed ballroom. The amber-lit room was filled with rich textured linens, luscious over sized centerpieces, beaded glass chargers, dozens of candles, and various hand-made adornments at each place setting. The large feasting tables were set up in a U-shape around the dance floor, which provided the intimate setting that Chris and Christina were going for. The guests were treated to an array of delicious cuisine set up on chef-attended stations throughout the ballroom. Dinner was topped with mouthwatering wedding cake and a "SWEET" Sundae station.

It was truly a beautiful wedding for SUCH a beautiful couple (both inside and out). From the moment that I met Christina, I knew that we were going to have a blast together while creating her dream wedding. Christina allowed me to take her vision and totally run with it. For a wedding planner, feeling that level of trust is pretty euphoric. Although the entire experience was a memorable one for me, I will NEVER forget the way Chris looks at Christina. It's as if she had hung the moon and all the stars (while looking like a Victoria Secret model). Sorry- that was my best shot at describing it. HAHA! But in all seriousness, "the look" really put everything into perspective for me. I was truly reminded of what this is all about....LOVE!

Best wishes to Chris and Christina (and baby Gabby)!
