It was a fabulous day in Seagrove Beach as Kyle and Jackie began their new life together.  With bright pink dresses and flowers, the cutest ring bearer and flower girl and a bride that was radiating her happiness, we could all see that this union Heaven sent.  Thank you Jackie and Kyle for allowing us the honor of sharing your joy!

Wishing you a very happy holiday season and a wonderful new year.  We look forward to celebrating many very special weddings at the beach in 2008!

Jennifer and Lars, what a great evening!  Could it have been more perfect?!?  That your friends and family followed you from California to the beautiful Emerald Coast to share the joy as you began your life together was wonderful.  That we were a part of your Southern celebration was thrilling.  You two look fabulous together!  May the joy you shared on your special evening at Eden Gardens be with you always.

With a bouquet of hydrangeas and jade roses, a fabulous white gown and tea light candles sparkling as the sun dipped into the horizon, Aaron and Kara tied the knot.  What an honor it was to participate in the exchanging of their vows, the beginning of their new life together.  With a quick change of plans from a Tennessee battlefield wedding to a sunset ceremony in Seagrove Beach, this evening was the perfect beginning to the "happily ever after" that Aaron and Kara have waited for.  Congratulations to the new Mr. and Mrs. D!

Tuesday, May 8th....what a fabulous day for a wedding!  The weather was perfect, the beach was magnificent and the bride was breathtaking in her jeweled ivory gown.  I don't think anything could have made this day more special.  We even spotted a few dolphins near the shoreline blessing this union in Miramar Beach.  Jonathon and Cory, we had such a wonderful time celebrating the joy of your love.  You two are so awesome together and it shows!  Congratulations on your marriage.  Thanks for allowing us to be such a big part of your special day.

Derek and Allison, we did it!  Despite the threatening storms, we made it through your big day with so many precious memories.  What a special touch to have your grandfather officiate your ceremony with all your loved ones near you.  These are moments that will be cherished forever.  Best wishes to you both.  A wedding on the Emerald Coast and a honeymoon in Jamaica....  what a fabulous way to begin your life together.

Brian, Amanda and Bailey, thank you for allowing SandSational Ceremonies to perform your private family commitment ceremony in Sandestin.  There could not have been a more perfect prelude to your upcoming summer wedding in your home town.  Choosing a verse from Bailey's favorite book as part of your ceremony was a precious way to show your devotion for her.

"Real isn't how you are made.  It's a thing that happens to you.  When a child loves you for a long, long time, not just to play with, but REALLY loves you, then you become real."  - The Velveteen Rabbit.

Brian and Amanda are both "REAL" because of Bailey's love. 

We feel honored to have shared in such a special time in your life together.  Thank you for reminding us what it means to be "real".

February 22nd could not have been a more beautiful day for a beach wedding!

Blue Mountain Beach could not have been a more perfect location!

Andy and Kathryn traveled to Blue Mountain Beach from Ottawa, Canada to begin their new life together on February 22nd.  With the bride in a stunning white gown, the groom in a dashing tuxedo and the flower girl shining in a sage dress complete with a rose petal-filled skirt, this afternoon celebration was unforgettable.

Thank you Andy and Kathryn for allowing SandSational Ceremonies to share the joy of your big day!  Thanks also for the delicious real Maple syrup from your home in Ottawa.  What a yummy, unexpected treat!

Wedding Season has begun!

We had the joy of celebrating with Cory and Sara as they tied the knot in a beautiful ceremony in Destin on February 17th.  Cory and Sara battled the unexpected and unpredicted 40-50 MPH winds to exchange vows and unite their families on a beautiful beach in West Destin before moving inside to toast their marriage and entertain family and friends in a quaint reception room filled with hot pink roses and Asiatic lilies.  As if on cue, Mother Nature gave Cory and Sara a break and allowed the sun to peak out from the threatening clouds just as the happy couple exchanged their I do's.

Congratulations Cory and Sara!  We look forward to seeing you and your family at the beach again very soon.

Happy holidays to our friends, clients and future-clients.  We hope your holiday season was as wonderful as ours!
