Southern Wedding of the Week: Brittany + Jarrod, Part V

Thanks again to Rae and Wes for these inspiring images. Check out Rae Leytham's {Blog} for the complete slideshow. For the behind the scenes action from the Bliss girls be sure to visit the {Bliss Blog} 

More Details: Bar service {Ritchey's East} [note: guests were served spiked  "sorbet shooters" late in the night... shot glasses filled with frozen mango, watermelon and mojito sorbet... yum!], Cupcakes and Cinnamon Rolls from {J's Pastry Shop}, Valet by {NWFL Parking}, Rentals {Kents Special Events}, {Blue Rents} and {Townsend Catering}, Linens {Bliss Event Group}, DJ {Marty Stanovich}

Describe your wedding cake:  Didn't have one! We went with our own personal favorites for sweet indulgences; Jarrod's cinnamon rolls, and my double chocolate cupcakes. We've been to weddings where there is so much of the dessert left over, so we also provided bakery bags so everyone could take home some sweets to enjoy the next day.

What advice would you give to someone planning their wedding? Roll with the punches! Planning a wedding is always going to come with some bumps in the road. Also, get an amazing coordinator/planner. Our day wouldn't have happened without ours, Bliss Event Group. Having someone there that cares enough to not only help plan your day, but also pull out every last stop to make it happen is priceless.

Best advice or most memorable comment someone made to you during the wedding celebration. Someone told me I was the happiest bride they'd seen!  [Editors note from Lara: "I agree with that person!  Your love for Jarrod and your family was so genuine and radiant."] That really make me feel great, because that meant everyone could see just how joyous I was.
What’s next for you as a couple? Well, I'm hoping to go back to grad school starting next year pursuing my Ph.D. in psychology. Jarrod is also working on finishing up school in criminal justice. We want to travel, and also spend as much time with friends and family as possible.

Congratulations Brittany + Jarrod!  We wish you a lifetime of happiness!
