On a warm August day, Hannah and Charlie celebrated their wedding at the historic Callanwolde Fine Arts Center. The venue, with its grand architecture and lush gardens, provided the perfect backdrop for the couple’s elegant and sophisticated day. Green/Cream Garden Party was the overall vision and aesthetic. They wanted it to be a chic and tasteful affair while incorporating lush florals from 89th and Autumn and custom pieces throughout, from the stationery to a unique rose + train detail added onto the front of Hannah’s gown. Pop and Fizz handled the wedding planning and design, ensuring that every detail was meticulously executed. The reception was a sophisticated affair with white table settings and lush green accents that brought the space to life, creating a perfect setting for dinner and dancing.

[field title=”Proposal Story”]

We were down in South Florida for Christmas with both sides of our family. I had a feeling it would be during this trip, but I had no idea when or where. Charlie and I made plans for our parents to have dinner together on the 23rd of December (which was a big deal because that was only their second time meeting). Charlie told me we were going to a “fancy” brunch on the 23rd with all of his side of the family and that he would be picking me up at 7 AM to drive to Miami. As we were driving, I got suspicious as he said that the brunch was at Vizcaya Museum & Gardens (they don’t even have a restaurant). As we arrived, the security guard questioned Charlie and said, “Oh, you are the one here for a photoshoot… right?” From then on, I was messing with him because I knew it was happening. He walked me through the museum and to the gazebo on the water where he popped the question. We then had a full hour exploring the gardens alone with the photographer to do our engagement shoot. Following this, he planned a Michelin-starred lunch and a surprise party with all of our friends and family. It was the sweetest and we were in a dream!!

KYHA Studios was the designer of the gown from the chosen collection. After trying on the dress, Hannah knew immediately that it was the one. Having a fashion statement was important, so Hannah had KYHA add a custom rose and tie to the bodice skirt. Apollo features a scooped neckline with a drape detail, a structured, dipped waist corset, and a draped wrap skirt. Jade Jamrozy worked her magic to bring a Hollywood glam look to life, styling Hannah’s hair in loose curls that cascaded down her shoulders. This classic yet modern look perfectly complemented the gown’s design and added to the bride’s radiant style.

The floral arrangements by 89th and Autumn were nothing short of stunning. From the intimate ceremony space to the beautifully arranged reception tables, the flowers added a fresh, natural feel to the day. Their use of soft greenery and delicate blooms tied in seamlessly with the overall aesthetic of the wedding. The elegance of Callanwolde’s grand hall was enhanced by the florals, creating a romantic and serene atmosphere for the celebration.

While the ceremony sometimes gets put on the back-burner as short and more of a formality, this is our most important part. This is where the commitments of a lifetime are made and where we promise to love each other unconditionally for the rest of our lives. It is also important to us that all of our friends and family are there to witness this moment and celebrate with us!

[field title=”Special Detail #3″]

We met the first few weeks of college as freshmen when our friend groups randomly intertwined. It was very obvious that Charlie was smitten with me, but I friend-zoned him for a solid year. After a year of being friends, we started talking more and became more interested in each other romantically. My first impression of Charlie was an outgoing, quality person who I knew I wanted in my life. Charlie’s first impression of me was “cute, out of my league, and an interesting person that I wanted to get to know.”
