Love is in the details
Julia and Christian, a couple coming together to celebrate their love with family and friends, channeled their feelings into this gorgeous tented Alfond Inn wedding, which perfectly captures their personalities and devotion. Nothing is more romantic than exchanging vows in downtown Winter Park at the Saint Margaret Mary Church, and their reception was a dream of white roses and market lights.
Highlights
Market lights strung above, flowers hanging off every surface, and green highlights bringing it all together—this event was perfectly planned and flawless in every way. Julia’s stunning dress was from The White Magnolia in Atlanta, Georgia, a spectacular salon devoted to its customers. The amazing Tiffany Williams of Bronze and Glow perfected the bride’s makeup. Julia’s Chanel perfume, her adorable puppy, and fun photos with an Instax camera were all playful moments and details to treasure.
Love
Christian and Julia are a lighthearted, fun-loving couple who were absolutely overjoyed to come together on this beautiful day to celebrate their love among family and friends. With her constant smile and wonderful laughter, Julia was the star of the day, her dress an absolute dream of tulle and white silk. Her puppy, a sweet golden retriever, brought a smile to everyone else’s face.
.Despite the stunning surroundings and carefully curated décor, Christian only had eyes for his bride. Through cocktail hour as they chatted with friends, while posing for photos in the gardens, and when they shared a kiss over the ceremonial cake cutting, there was nothing more magical than the way he looked at her.
Seeing their trust in each other and the way they danced as the lights dimmed and the music softened, it’s easy to tell—this is their forever.
Cocktail and Reception: Alfond Inn
A wedding can never have too many flowers, and this event proved it. With floral draping around the tent, the cocktail hour was a beautifully coordinated affair. Green details and white highlights created a chic, natural vibe. Floral arrangements by The Bluegrass Chic adorned every table, while The Alfond Inn’s excellent service provided drinks for all. Every detail was mindfully curated—from elegant tables and monogrammed napkins to carefully arranged place settings—bringing the theme together seamlessly. All in all, this was a showstopper event, flawlessly executed thanks to expert planning by Blush, led by Brandee Gaar.
