We attended a beautiful wedding last weekend in Hollywood, Florida and it was an absolute blast. As a resident Vermonter I don’t think of myself as a Florida girl, but our stay at The Westin Diplomat made our trip to FLA for Scott & Nancy’s wedding more like a mini-vacation where we happened to be attending our friends’ wedding! I tried to pair down the photos to give a shot of the best of the best, but honestly, I still have so, so many photos to post today. I am sure you’ll agree that if ever there was a lovely beach-side wedding this one is up there!
I took this shot of the hotel from the pool.

The lobby had the coolest fountain and sculptures with gorgeous orchids!

Here’s one of those gorgeous orchids, now!

This was our balcony and our view…we sat here A LOT!

Dave and Scott had a nosh the morning of the rehersal dinner.

The view of the pool and the beach was incredible.

We stole a shot of Scott and Nancy as they had their rehearsal next to the pool area.

Dave and I at the rehearsal dinner on Friday night.

Scott loves The Giants, The Dead, and Phish almost as much as he loves Nancy so this cake for the rehearsal dinner was perfect! The dogs were a surprise addition as a nod to their beloved pups and our dearly departed Jupiter (the big dog!) that Scott got in college.

The morning of the wedding we had a bird’s eye view of the pelicans flying by.

The chuppah!

Scott and his proud parents walk down the aisle.

Veronica introduced Scott & Nancy so she’s a pretty important bridesmaid!

Nancy looked beautiful & wore white converse which pretty much sums up how cool she is.

As soon as I saw Nancy I turned around and got Scott’s reaction to seeing his bride.

It was a beautiful ceremony…a real love fest! The whole weekend was a love fest, actually!

The bride carried a super sweet bouquet of white roses, green orchids, & brunnia berries.

Centerpieces on the tables included stock, roses, orchids, green antique hydrangea, & brunnia.

This is what I’ve been told you call a happy accident. Somehow you can see 2 shots of them!

They stood on the bar to cut the cake. It was a fun scene.

Dave snapped this shot of us at the reception.

Although we waited all day on Saturday for a rain storm, it held off until Sunday.

Scott and Nancy were great hosts and kept their guests well fed, entertained and cared for. We had an amazing time and can’t wait to visit them again! The hotel was beautiful and the food was great. All in all I’d say it was a complete success!
