Lightner Museum Wedding

Kelsey & Chris – November 9, 2019 – Lightner Museum

We love when we get to travel for weddings. This Lightner Museum wedding was in one of our favorite cities, St. Augustine! It was a beautiful weekend with great fall weather, perfect for their 200 guests to enjoy this historic setting.

The entire wedding party got ready at a sweet little house offsite. It was located on historic streets near Downtown St. Augustine-perfect for photos! Kelsey & Chris’s first look was on a beautiful tree-lined street that only added to the romance. After some photos with family members and their wedding party, they made their way to the venue.

The Lightner Museum used to be a hotel built by Henry Flagler himself. The ‘sunken’ inside portion was actually a pool back in the day! It was the perfect setting for a ceremony, then flipped into the reception dance floor afterwards. A little draping and overhead lighting turned this space into a romantic one. Some organic greenery and rugs lined the aisle, keeping with the bride’s fall decor. Cocktail hour took place in the outside of the sunken portion of the building, while the space was being transformed into a dance floor!

Guest tables were dressed in soft ivory linens, accented with gold chargers and chairs. Centerpieces were made of greenery and some blooms, with gold candlesticks for romance. Our favorite detail was that the bride & groom provided cobalt blue water glasses for each place setting. A cigar favor and a program with history of the museum were placed inside. We love that they wanted to share the importance of this venue with all of their guests! A delicious plated dinner, a lively band with a cool vibe and a gorgeous venue made this one to remember!

Kelsey & Chris, thank you for letting us celebrate your Lightner Museum wedding with you in such a beautiful city! We wish you all the happiness in the world.
