Classic Casa Feliz Celebration

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!

The Perfect Piece: EllieClaire and Scott’s Summer Soiree

Sometimes, the most meaningful weddings are those that have elements that come from the heart. And none was more special than EllieClaire (a wedding photographer!) and Scott’s July wedding at St. Lukes Lutheran Church and Interlachen Country Club in which EllieClaire’s mother, Madeline, gave her talent and love to the couple’s special day.

Madeline, the mother of the bride, owns her own pottery company, “Mad Made Pottery” (an adorable play on her name!). For the wedding, she created specially made pieces that brought a beautifully organic feel to the day and Lana loved creating floral that would be showcased in these vessels.

Not only did they grace the tables for centerpieces and were used as unique container for cocktail tables, but the head table boasted a handmade vase for each bridesmaid to display her bouquet which was then given to each of them as a gift.

The bouquets and arrangements used a plethora of delicate garden botanicals that was simply stunning! The blend featured: white veronica, quicksand roses, blue delphinium and blue thistle, dusty miller, white peonies, white lisianthus, white ranunculus, Queen Anne’s lace, white majolica spray roses, white O’Hara garden roses, Italian ruscus and seeded eucalyptus - what a fabulous fusion!

The color scheme was a graceful combination of white, cream, soft pastels, and greens with subtle pops of purple - perfect for a mid-summer soiree.

Lana was privileged to work with Madeline on EllieClaire and Scott’s delightful day. And she will always remember the skill and affection that went into it as she enjoys the beautiful owl vase and footed compote she received as a thank you!
