Destin Bay House Wedding by Christie Meresse Photography

I happen to be the biggest fan EVER of brooch bouquets, so when I saw this glorious antique creation making a sweet, sweet appearance in this Destin Bay House soiree, I knew I was done for.  And, honestly, who wouldn’t love this sparkly, draw-jopping masterpiece, especially when combined with a fresh natural color palette, uber-adorable bridesmaid frocks and a take-your-breath-away San Patrick gown? Yep, its a style-filled fête boasting beyond lovely images by Christie Meresse Photography and too much fabulous to count.  Click here for more.

From Christie Meresse PhotographyLewis Clark and Maggie Hale had a simple, but beautiful destination wedding in Destin, Florida in May. Lewis’ family flew in from England, while Maggie’s family traveled from Tennessee. They chose to host their wedding at a gorgeous new venue in Destin, the Destin Bay House. Maggie created her own bouquet using antique brooches she purchased at antique stores in her home town, and she had a relative sew two garters for her to wear during the wedding. The dress Maggie wore was absolutely stunning, and the cake she chose was made completely of cake pops in cream and taupe hues.

Maggie asked all of her bridesmaids to select a dress of their choice using the color scheme she chose for the wedding, and they came together perfectly. Several groomsmen traveled from England to participate in the celebration, and they all wore a simple white shirt with khaki pants. The wedding ceremony was held overlooking the beautiful Destin bay with the reception following on the patio of the quaint venue.
