Contest Winners: Katie & Cody's Beautiful "Backyard" Wedding

You may remember that Katie & Cody won the Anniversary contest back in November. Since then it's been much excitement leading up to their wedding day.

Katie & Cody are an amazing couple. They are so sweet and loving and when you meet them it instantly makes sense why they fell in love and why you know that they're going to grow old together.
After meeting them together, I was even more excited to be a a part of their wedding day. The weekend started with the rehearsal and the wedding the next day.
Here are some pictures of the rehearsal.


The wedding and ceremony both took place in the beautiful Fox Ridge community of Parkland, Fl.

The community has a beautiful well kept park and the ceremony took place in a perfect spot next the lake near some gorgeous trees.
The reception followed at the house.
Cocktails took place next to the pool in the house's courtyard. Afterwards, guests were directed through the house in the the backyard. The backyard had been completely transformed.
Tables, chairs and linens were all provided by Hitched Event Rentals. The perimeter lighting which changed colors through the night, the pin spot on the centerpieces, dance floor, and dance floor light show were all provided by Dance South Florida.
The amazing flowers were all done by Gil Sosa. I can never say enough about his work he truly is incredible.

Steven of Screamin Entertainment kept the dance floor packed the whole night and Gregory and Heidi of Gregory Paul Photography captured every moment.

After a yummy dinner provided by Catering Concepts, guests were moved back in to the courtyard for the chocolate fountain and a very fun S'mores Buffet that all the guests raved about.

It was the perfect night for this fabulous couple.

Katie & Cody, I'm so excited that I got to work with the 2 of you on this special day. You're both wonderful and deserve every wonderful thing that comes your way.
We both that you have an amazing honeymoon and an even more amazing life together.
