Old Spanish Quarter

Oct 10

Fall in Florida is actually really exciting and full of energy! As wedding vendors, we skillfully juggle the opening of the much-anticipated “Fall Wedding Season” while simultaneously navigating the winding down of “Hurricane Season.”

This Fall, we have faced the unique challenges presented by late Season Hurricanes, which has added an extra layer of complexity to our planning and preparations. In between surprise hurricane Helene and now Cat 5 Milton, we managed to dedicate some time to tending our artistry and create an exquisite bridal shoot. Yes, I know, many people believe that Floridians can be a little crazy! The unique culture and vibrant atmosphere of the Sunshine State often lead to some interesting and unexpected behaviors that definitely catch people's attention. Fall Vendor Shoot it is!

Our venue, The Old Spanish Quarter in Jacksonville offers a stunning and beautifully designed space that is ideal for both outdoor ceremonies and indoor receptions. Brimming with delightful architectural details and a modern, fresh, neutral color palette, this inviting space is incredibly versatile and well-suited for a variety of event styles, ensuring that each occasion feels unique and special.

Figs, grapes, pomegranate, plum, and pears were beautifully showcased and perfectly accented by the rich aubergine and mocha linens. These elements complemented the absolutely gorgeous rose shades of toffee, soft sand, and vibrant pops of blue thistle, along with the deep and captivating hues of purple that filled her arrangements and table florals. Not to mention the fabulous floral towers she expertly constructed and arranged, adding an impressive vertical dimension to the ceremony display. Super Impressed!
