Autumn Wedding Style

by Ashlee on September 1, 2010

 I can’t believe it is already September 1st! Where has the year gone? I am so excited that Autumn is upon us, as it is my favorite time of year! Florida weather starts to cool off, yummy pumpkin bread and apple cider, and fall wedding season is in full bloom! Here are a few fall wedding inspirations I came across!

{Autumn colors} Oranges, browns, champagne, rich yellows, reds, plums, golds and copper

{Autumn flowers} Roses, orchids, gardenias, mums, allium, and dahlias

{Decor enhancements} Berries, treated bark, natural branches, wheat, leaves, fruits & wonderful textures for linens, paper products, ribbons, and centerpieces!

Luxe Feature~ Jason Avery Films

by on August 25, 2010

Jason Avery Films are an incredibly talented husband and wife team that have a passion for capturing a couple’s unforgettable day!  Jason founded his love for videography while in Nashville, TN. Filming concerts worldwide cultivated his interest in filming live events and that is when he learned the art of video.

Jason states, “Weddings are a unique, once in a lifetime event that can never be recreated. We had a friend film our wedding, and while friends may often be free help, it is not always reliable help. Our friend lost our footage, and now we no longer have our wedding on video. We want to make sure this never happens to you. Your wedding is priceless and you want to be able to cherish it forever.”

I tell every bride, from personal experience, I would definitely recommend having a reputable videographer capture your wedding day. The day flies by so quickly that it is impossible to remember and take in all the joyous happenings the day brings! There isn’t anything that captures the emotions and replays the fabulous memories of the day like a video.

For more information contact Jason Avery Films at 904.655.7291 or visit the web site here.
