A few more April wedding photos...

All photos are courtesy of our Simple Island Photography team!

We've been using these lanterns and moss/twine balls as simple yet elegant decor. Do you like?

I had to share this bouquet - it was a special request from the bride for all greenery and no flowers. I love what the florist made!

Yay for April Weddings!

I wish I could share a picture from each wedding, but I don't always have access to them. If you have photos you'd like featured on the blog, please share!

Villa Serendipity Wedding

Yesterday was such a beautiful wedding - I just downloaded the images and am going to blog them here - I think that's the fastest I have ever blogged a wedding!

First we had the ceremony at Lime Tree Beach with beautiful mason jars and a full rose petals aisle.

This bride chose an amazing bouquet - be warned - she paid a lot more for it - but it was GORGEOUS.

With of course, our signature seahorse!

The reception was then held at Villa Serendipity - all events on St. Thomas. Heavy appetizers were provided by Passion Fruit Chefs, music by DJ Snow and photography by Elisha Orin (all photos here were taken by me though).

I love their favors - these CD covers were adorable. 

Wedding cakes by Island Sweet Stuff:

We brought these twine wrapped vases for the bridal party to put their flowers in and reused the mason jars from the ceremony to add more flowers to the reception.

You cannot beat this view! 

These centerpieces turned out awesome - the twigs created an even large effect.

Congrats Katie & Brooks!

Congrats to Rosalyn & Bret!

These photos are so completely out of order! But oh so pretty anyway. Rosalyn & Bret were married on Lime Tree Beach, St. Thomas. Megan Biggs Photography shared their photos with me quite awhile ago but I'm just now getting around to posting them (post-holiday laziness on my part!).

Chevron Wedding and fun details...

My last wedding at Sand Dollar Estate was so beautiful. I love chevron print and the bride used it beautifully. She started the day wearing this from Etsy:

Also from Etsy were these gorgeous coral colored chevron table runners. The bride had told me about the blue poms she planned to use on each table setting and I wasn't really sure how that was going to look but wow, I loved it! The coral and blue combos are so pretty.

Love!

She had a lot of great personal touches like the chalkboard name place cards, coordinating table numbers in cute little wooden blocks:

And her favors were one of my favorites this year. She purchased these bags from Isola Bella, a local artist:

And then filled them with goodies that represented both her and the groom:

Including a Maryland style crab mallet! Her reception wasn't the only beautiful thing about this wedding. Unfortunately the water at the beach at Sand Dollar was a little too high for the ceremony so we moved it to the pool deck, but look how beautiful the setup was!

And because I know you enjoying peaking into other weddings, check out some more pictures from this wedding! The beautiful brides bouquet:

Great way to use your bouquets after the ceremony for decor - rented blue mason jars with starfish decor

Don't expect me to be able to do this for your wedding! The brides friend was able to chalk up this board and made it look awesome! I don't have this talent unfortunately....

We rent this 24x24 chalkboard sign to our brides - perfect for ceremony or reception!

This was a very fun group with lots of dancing. It was a fun wedding to be a part of and of course, I loved the end of the night when the bride surprised me with this necklace! She had seen in on my Pinterest page!

Really, my favorite part of wedding planning is seeing how brides pull all their creative efforts together. I'll be honest, I wasn't sure I was going to like the poms with the chevron runners but when I saw it all together, it looked amazing. Gorgeous wedding thanks to the efforts of my creative bride!!
