We are so excited to have in our hands the Winter/Spring 2010 edition of Weddings Florida magazine!

This edition features Liz and Sean’s awesomely beautiful and fun wedding that we shot at Miromar Lakes Beach & Golf Club here in Southwest Florida! What a great place to shoot! At every corner we found great spots and the decor is fabulous! Lesley and the staff at Miromar did an absolutely outstanding job making sure everything flowed smoothly and everyone was happy. And we couldn’t have been happier shooting at such a refreshingly unique spot!

I know that the wedding magazine industry experienced some losses last year with the loss of Modern Bride and Elegant Bride so we are SUPER ecstatic to see such a beautiful magazine going strong and representing some of the best vendors, locations and talent here in Florida. We are also very honored to be featured in Weddings Florida.

For us, it’s really wonderful to see this area of Southwest Florida receive the recognition it deserves as being a hot spot for destination weddings. Not only is the area beautiful, but we have some absolutely fantastic talent in the area that will do everything possible to help create a bride and groom’s vision. And part of that success comes from a strong network here of industry vendors that work with each other and support each other.

Thanks again to Weddings Florida for featuring Liz and Sean and thank you Liz and Sean for trusting in our ability to preserve your wedding day.

Last Sunday we participated in the Weddings Florida Bridal and Fashion show and what a hit! Not only did I see some fab gowns but we got some great exposure and made a lot of connections with other top wedding vendors in the area. What a great day!

Angela had video up and running during the fashion show and here it is! You can see us in the back…we had a primo spot and really enjoyed the show front and center. There were some truly beautiful gowns. One of my favorites came with a bolero jacket, perfect for the ceremony and formals and then off with it and off with the bottom of the gown (right above the knee) for a completely strapless and hot reception look (0:22). Truly versatile!

I also fell completely in love with a dark, smoky and truly sensuous bridesmaid gown in a rich, deep and delicious chocolate brown. The bottom of the gown looked almost alive with tiers of ruffles cascading to the hem (2:13). Mmm!

And of course there were some fabulous veils on the models including a bird cage (0:22) veil. Want to skip the veil? Go for a sweet little accessory (1:00). But my fav? The fabulous, bouncy, full-of-life, head-turning runway inspired veil (0.34). Again, delicious and tasty! I’m predicting that this is the next direction in veils for brides that want to step out of that box and into something totally unique. It’s really a blend of different textures, patterns, line and shape to create a very unique couture veil. The model wore what looked like a dotted netting and look at the body in the veil right around the back of her head.
