ORLANDO, FLORIDA

So it’s only been 3 years and change, a house, a dog and two kids later but I was talking to an aunt and realized I never did a full post for our wedding! I loved looking back at this sweet day. I think as a vendor I noticed the few glitches (DJ messing up first dance song that our friends were planning on singing, the tent guys hitting the sole water line to the venue so it started spraying like the Beverly Hillbillies when they find gold and my original peonies getting stuck on a drug truck in Mexico) but other than that we had the best day in the world. I met our amazing photographer on Instagram because in 2014 you do that (and half my mom friends are mom bloggers from across the country now.) We flew her down from Charlotte and she was a trooper in the 98 degree weather and 10 trillion types of mosquitoes Florida has. It was so amazing to be surrounded by 130 of our closest friends and family. I had 3 sweet friends act as part time bridesmaids that helped the day go so smoothly. Heads up to all girls planning weddings – let your best friends pick their dresses for what they feel beautiful and comfortable in. Nobody wants to pay $350 for a dress you’ll wear for 8 hours and no you usually can’t cut it and wear it again. Also wedding hack- take photos in fancy shoes that will make your feet hurt and then grab some Tom’s out of your honeymoon bag and wear those all day instead. If you live in the south and don’t have a Publix wedding cake and I am shooting or attending your wedding… you have wasted my calorie count for the day. I wanted the day to feel like us, just filled with little sweet details of our families pie recipes (FUTURE BRIDES- do not decide to make 14 pies the week of your wedding. You will cry but then everyone rants and raves about them so choose your own adventure there.) Secondly, if you are anything but vegan, 4Rivers is the way to go with catering. Their team can host a wedding in their sleep and every year we go to the restaurants and have a redo of our wedding meal which is more fun than deciding “chicken or fish.” We decided to do a PopTail hour because it was about the temperature of the surface of the sun so it was way more fun to cool off for an hour than a regular cocktail hour. Before we got engaged, we would walk around Lake Eola in downtown Orlando and get popsicles. Fast forward doing that 100 times and getting engaged at the lake, there was no question where we would go to celebrate. Boom and poptail hour was invented. © 2018 Jordan Emmitt Photography So it’s only been 3 years and change, a house, a dog and two kids later but I was talking to an aunt and realized I never did a full post for our wedding!
