From Bri Cibene Photography: While planning this shoot, my main goal was to translate all of the prettiness that surrounds the idea of mermaids (seriously, who doesn’t love mermaids?!) into inspiration that today’s bride could incorporate beautifully into her wedding.  Palm Coast was a perfect location – the stretch of beach in this town has one of the two coquina rock croppings in all of Florida!

We had some amazing vendors that really brought this shoot to life! Lynette from Rose of Sharon really took my floral vision and blew it out of the water! She created a STUNNING freeform bouquet filled with lots of greenery, including my favorite, hanging amaranthus. She also included touches of gold Italian ruskus, white dahlias, anemones, white veronica, seeded eucalyptus and succulents tipped in gold.

I really wanted to bring some lush details to contrast the rocky beach. Lynette created two large sprays of foliage to set amongst the rocks, and they look absolutely incredible!

The tablescape was one of my favorite aspects of the shoot. Rose of Sharon used driftwood accented with foliage, orchid blooms and succulents for the centerpieces. The table linen was a DIY project – a simple canvas drop cloth from Lowe’s dip dyed with RIT denim blue! The subtle ombre looked amazing against the backdrop of the rocky beach. White Kate Spade china sat atop driftwood chargers from Set Event Rentals. Gold flatware and votives were the perfect accents, along with uncut stone details. Blue calcite pieces held the DIY place cards, which were created with watercolor and luxe Silk & Willow handmade paper! Hemstitch napkins and beautiful driftwood chairs from Beachview Event Rentals & Design completed the look!

I was so fortunate to work with Alison from Alleycakes Dessert Company for the dessert table! She is getting married in May and has a similar theme, so she had lobster traps on hand! The traps draped with a perfect sequin mermaid-esque fabric (from Jo-Ann Fabric) and floral accents were the perfect setting for Alison’s creations. The cake had a subtle ombre effect and was accented with florals by Rose of Sharon. There were also shimmery French macaroons, watercolor meringues, and coconut macaroons!

Our models, Angie and Joe, are a real life couple who are getting married this May! The natural chemistry they had was perfect for this seaside shoot.

Angie had two looks. The first dress, by Elouise Couture, flowed beautifully in the wind! It was paired with a gorgeous modern day crown hair piece from Hushed Commotion. The second dress was by Adrianna Papell, and the sequin and beading detail epitomized mermaid inspiration.
