Dad enjoyed spending the day with Lauren and Brock at their engagement session so he knew he was going to have fun with them on their big day.  They are a down-to-earth, happy couple and their wedding day was a beautiful and fun event!  Lauren had her hair and makeup done at her bridesmaid’s salon, Southern Roots salon in Sarasota.  Everyone then headed over to Mattison’s Riverside Restaurant where the wedding was going to take place.  Bee Ridge Florist did a terrific job on the flowers and the purple hydrangea and green orchids in Lauren’s bouquet looked pretty!  Before the ceremony Lauren and Brock had a first sight where they were able to spend a few minutes alone with each other taking in the excitement of the day before gathering their family and wedding party for the group pictures.

After the ceremony dad spent time with Lauren and Brock for their bride and groom pictures before they entered the reception.  The purple and green wedding colors were used in the menu and favor tags at each place setting as well as the table centerpieces.  Dad loved seeing all the engagement images that the couple used at their reception.  A large framed picture was the guest signature mat, there was a photo book of images telling all about their session, and the guest book table had pictures framed in modern green and purple frames which mom really loved!  The DJ for the reception was DJ Fitz from Jay Goodley Entertainment and the cake was made by Pastries by Design.

Lauren and Brock were the epitome of “the happy couple.”  They smiled and laughed and enjoyed every second of their wedding day!  Dad said anyone with them couldn’t help but smile and share in their happiness too.  Congratulations to Lauren and Brock!  We hope Cancun was awesome!
