Julie & Ryan – October 1, 2022 – Annunciation Church & Country Club of Orlando
This Country Club of Orlando Wedding was one we will literally never forget. It was the day after a hurricane hit Central Florida, which added so much stress for everyone! However, it was such a beautiful turnout and made it all worth it. Thank you, Mother Nature, for keeping their venues safe and allowing everyone to still celebrate this sweet couple!
Although the wedding was still a go, there were setbacks that were handled. The mother of the bride’s home, where the girls were getting ready, was still without power come wedding day! Luckily, their neighbors lended them their house (which happened to have power?!) The girls enjoyed getting pampered and spraying champagne in the front yard in their adorable PJ sets before getting on the bus to the church.
The groom grew up in Annunciation Church, and the parish allowed the priest from a different church that the bride grew up in to marry them. It was so sweet knowing that they were getting married in a meaningful environment! The altar had beautiful floral arrangements on it, in coordinating florals of whites and dark blue. After their ceremony, the families took photos in the church while guests enjoyed a little break before cocktail hour.
We were also making sure the reception was set and ready once guests did arrive at this Country Club of Orlando Wedding. Cocktail hour was on the terrace of the country club, with gorgeous weather following the hurricane just the day before! The grand ballroom was set with a long head table and round tables for guests. The focal point of the room was the stage where the band was set, and the cake was in the side room as its own focal point. All tables had white linens and napkins, and pops of blue color in the floral throughout. Our favorite detail was the family wedding photo display in the foyer. It was a surprise for their family members to see their own wedding photos on display at this wedding, a sweet nod to honor their guests’ own special days!
After a delicious plated meal and some meaningful toasts, the dance floor was open and the party had started! It really didn’t stop until the wedding was over and we sent the newlyweds off with a sparkler exit. Julie & Ryan a huge thank you for letting us be a part of your Country Club of Orlando Wedding! We’re so glad we made it through the storm and stress to celebrate with you XO.
