Classic Casa Feliz Wedding Celebration - Winter Park, FL - November 7, 2020

Featuring Allie Harvard & Corbin Harris

Allie & Corbin’s November wedding was held at the magnificent Spanish style historic museum, Casa Feliz. “Casa Feliz'' translates to “Happy House,” and this couple’s wedding encompassed just that. Their whimsical wedding was filled with joy and love at every moment.

The bride’s gown was truly one of a kind! She found the dress in bright red at Bridal Gallery of Orlando. The dress was custom designed for her in white. It was so very “Allie” and for added personality: sparkly Kate Spade tennis shoes!

One of my favorite moments of the entire wedding was the precious first look shared by Allie & her father. This heartfelt reunion was full of laughter, tears, and an abundance of love.

So often when planning a wedding, big decision making is left to the bride. If the brides happy, the groom’s happy. With Allie and Corbin, the groom had 2 requests: first - a steak for dinner, and second - to cover the colored railing on the balcony. Lana made this request effortless by draping smilax - covering the railing while creating a beautiful ceremony backdrop.

You’ve heard the old adage - “something old, something new, something borrowed, something blue.” While blue flowers are a unique wedding request, they just so happened to be the bride’s favorite color! We incorporated blue tones into the décor and achieved her floral style by adding light blue tweedia, dark navy centered anemones, and cool toned greenery. The outcome was both stunning and classy!

The floral chandelier was the show stopper of the reception. During the bride & groom portraits, the bride stopped everyone to admire it!

The beautiful couple was all smiles as the celebration continued well into the night. Guests enjoyed the traditional first dance, father/daughter dance, dinner, dancing, and of course - cake!

The love Allie & Corbin have for one another was so evident in all of their interactions. We know they will build their very own Casa Feliz (happy home) as newlyweds!

Shaila & Sebastian's multicultural wedding was truly stunning in every way. This two day soiree was full of joy, love and a merging of traditions. This wonderful couple met working in Chicago, although as fate would have it they both grew up in Florida and attended the same college! Their relationship has taken them all across the globe, from Bali to Indonesia, where Sebastian proposed on a mountaintop at sunset. Shaila and Sebastian celebrated their nuptials with a 2-day soiree with a traditional Western wedding on Friday at the Historic Casa Feliz on the Winter Park Golf Course followed by a bright and colorful Hindu party the next night at the Historic Winter Park Farmer’s Market.

The bridesmaids prepped for the day ahead in their suite at the Alfond Inn. Meanwhile, the groomsmen enjoyed a leisurely start to their day, with brunch at The Alfond Inn’s Hamilton’s Kitchen.

A traditional American wedding and reception was held at Casa Feliz. Donned in a stunning white gown and carrying an understated baby’s breath bouquet, Shaila’s look was classic and elegant in every way. The couple enjoyed a “first look” together on Friday at the Alfond Inn. We love the hint of Indian Culture peeking through the celebration with Shaila’s beautifully intricate Henna Tattoos.

Cocktail hour followed the couple’s exchange of vows, nestled beneath the Spanish moss in historic downtown Winter Park.

During the outdoor reception, all eyes were on the hanging floral chandelier with globe candle holders. The classic white and green florals allowed the rustic elements of the venue to shine through. The pairing of all white linens with dark wood chairs created a sophisticated style with old world charm.

The couple spent the evening surrounded by friends and family. They ate, drank, and danced the night away to the live music of the Bay Kings Band.

The next day continued the marriage celebration with traditional indian outfits and rituals!

The second night of celebration was a colorful and lively affair at the Winter Park Farmer’s Market! The bold reds and golds were a stark contrast to the classic white color palette of the previous evening. The night was all about fun and merriment, beginning with a dramatic entrance by the couple, as they danced their way up the stairs to the venue.

Everyone, including the guests were clad in celebratory Indian attire. Traditional music, dancing and food created an absolute delight for the senses. This incredible wedding weekend was a beautiful celebration of unity, family, and culture.
