The Architect Bride

Congratulations to Marketa and Juan! My first wedding of the New Year. So what happens when you cross a DIY bride and an architect? MARKETA THE WONDER BRIDE!!




She came complete with a distinct vision, a storyboard... and even bridesmaid dresses and shoes to match.
The only thing she didn't have was a wedding gown.



Marketa and Juan chose the Winter Park Civic Center for their ceremony and reception. However with 200 guests and bride who was not going to walk in the grass this was going to call for a bit of creativity. Marketa had that covered as well. She would have a wedding "in the round"! In other words, she and Juan would be married under the towering arch with guests on both the upper and lower terrace. She would put my directing prowess to the test. The bridal party entered from both sides of the arch at alternate times!

Here are few "non-professional" pictures from the day:

She found a beautiful ivory strapless gown from Demetrios (thank you Tameka for getting her on the "find that gown" track)!

Daddy Clark decided to "gift" the horse drawn carriage in which Marketa rode around the park, to the spot where her he would escort her down the aisle. The carriage then waited to carry Juan and Marketa off as the guests looked on from the lawn.

By the way Juan held his own in a matching ivory tuxedo.




The bridesmaids and groomsmen looked great in their attire. You can just see the upper and lower terrace seating.



Marketa's keen sense of design, professional skills and unwillingness to take no for an answer lead to a truly unique peek into her world and her style. I can't wait for her professional photos!!
