$40,000 fairytale wedding in Florida for a real Disney princess

Spanish moss wedding ceremony

Kalea & Sam's vision for their wedding was a timeless day focused on true love and marriage. Their wedding was a fairytale from start to finish from the ceremony under the moss-covered oak trees, to Kalea in a stunning gown fit for a princess, and plenty of romantic florals that leaned into the idea of "Happily Ever After." Planned with the help of Elle Gray Events with florals by Westovers Flowers, this wedding at Colonial at Sunset is the perfect "how-to" for capturing timeless Southern wedding style.
