Mark & Michelle - Sarasota, FL - April 16, 2017

---

Mark and Michelle are the real deal.  Both so in love with each other and the life that they are building together - and it shows from the moment you meet them!  

I had the pleasure of planning their wedding with them and giving them their rustic beach side wedding that had both coastal touches but also rustic charm that they swooned over!  I used the simplicity of natural starfish combined with the rough, down home look of pallets to balance one another and achieve their look.  

Michelle comes from a BIG traditional Italian family (with personality to spare) and wanted to make sure that there was a nod to her culture in what else - the food!  

The family style service was perfect, and gave everyone the choice of both a more tropical menu as well as the traditional items such as tomato mozzarella that her family expected.

They ate, laughed, danced and celebrated the night away on the dance floor.  Both families joined together beautifully and enjoyed every minute of the party!
