Real Wedding: Courtney + Phillip, Part II

Welcome back to Part II of Courtney + Phillip's Wedding.  The reception site, {The Ruskin Place Park} in Seaside, Florida, is so stunning.  How about this decor!?  If this wedding came in a catalog, I would buy it.  And the best part: the send-off.  Courtney + Phillip rode off on a scooter!  See more of Courtney + Phillip's wedding at East Hill's {BLOG}. Thank you so much, Rick, for sharing this drop dead gorgeous wedding with us.  (See you in September!)

More from Jennifer at It's a Shore Thing:
  "Directly after the ceremony, guests were entertained at a cocktail reception. Befitting the groom’s heritage, guests were served fish & chips wrapped in newsprint. Champagne and wine were served and as a nod to the Southern location, the bride’s signature drink was  “swamp water”. Escort cards of larger votive candles with hand calligraphied vellum paper led guests through the fairly forest to the reception in Ruskin Park. A Scottish Bagpiper heralded the arrival of the Bride and Groom to the reception. After Guests were seated and salad was served, waiters arrived with trays holding three plates, each with a different entrée for each guest. The wedding guests dined and danced, not only under the stars, but beneath chandeliers hung from the trees. Entertainment was provided by a string quartet and three separate vocalists who were then followed by a DJ. As the reception drew to a close, the bride and groom departed on a scooter to their Seaside honeymoon cottage, followed by a ten day honeymoon in the Southwest."

I love everything about this wedding. The chandelier over the cake is such an awesome surprise for an outdoor wedding. And I absolutely love the very contemporary look of the square and rectangular tables. Kudos to the photographer for awesome coverage. Great Job!!
