Foggy Florida Beach Wedding: Whitney + James
Foggy Florida Beach Wedding: Whitney + James
via
Just as we were thinking that winter weddings + sandy beaches probably don't mix, in comes Whitney + James' intimate Rosemary Beach nuptials (by way of photog, Katch Silva) and our minds are forever changed! Events By Nouveau helped these two, who were planning a destination wedding from afar, design a minimal, yet stunning, setting where they could truly enjoy some quality time with every person on their petite guest list. And the ethereal winter light + foggy backdrop only made their day (and photos!) that much better. Whitney shares more with us below:
James and I picked our location and date because winter at the beach is special to us. We're both Southern and grew up visiting the Florida Panhandle. He also has family here, and we have lots of moments in our relationship that took place during winter on the Gulf Coast, so we're very connected to the area and the season. It just made sense to us to have our wedding there and we liked the idea of starting off the new year by getting married.
Whit wore the Watters "Ellery" dress from Lovely Bride + shoes from BHLDN, which she customized with handmade laces!
Oh, that fog!
We wanted everyone to feel the warmth and sparkle of the holidays hanging on just a little longer, but without a holiday "theme." So we used a lot of greenery with white flowers and privetberry, and lots of twinkle lights. My favorite elements were the garland at the head of the room, which was inspired by the felt sculptures of artist Robert Morris, and the gorgeous greenery chandeliers in the courtyard. 
Even though they were planning an out-of-town wedding, which hindered their ability to DIY a lot of details, they cerated a few small things to give the setting a personal touch. Our fave DIY was the handmade silhouettes decorating their chairs at the head table. Pretty fun!
