As we head into another Seaside wedding weekend, we’re looking back at one of our favorite spring transformations of this very same space.

Soft blues, layers of white and green, scalloped details, tailored lounge moments and a bar that became a focal point all its own. One of our favorite parts of returning to a space we know so well is watching it take on an entirely new personality with each wedding.

We can’t wait to see what this weekend brings.

Blue skies, a brass band, a very happy family, and the kind of Seaside wedding day you wish you could do all over again.

Mimi & Jackson, you were so much fun to celebrate.

Four months. Zero interest in a traditional wedding. One very good party. 🍸

Heather + John wanted their wedding to feel less like a “wedding” and more like a night out with all of their favorite people—and we were very into that assignment.

We took over the driving range at Camp Creek for an outdoor ceremony, then moved under a clear-top tent for a reception built around a palette of crisp white, chartreuse green + moody brown. Modern, a little unexpected and just clubby enough.
The details were all about the experience: beautiful, fresh food that looked as good as it tasted, a violinist playing modern covers for the ceremony, and a DJ + live sax combo that kept the energy exactly where it needed to be.

Proof that you don’t have to follow the traditional wedding formula to make it feel special.
You just have to make it feel like you. ✨

Some weddings are beautiful. Others feel like coming home.

Lauren + Tommy have been together since high school, so it only felt right to celebrate the beginning of this next chapter in the place where their story first started.

They chose a country club that's been part of Tommy's family for four generations, Lauren found the dress during a trip to London, and every detail—from her heirloom emerald ring to the candlelit reception—felt deeply personal.

Rooted in family. Full of intention. And unmistakably them. 🤍

The day started with Jennah’s uncle doing laps in front of the bridesmaids just to make them laugh.

And somehow, that feeling never left.

It set the tone for everything that followed—a day that felt joyful, relaxed, and completely true to Jennah and Jackson. That warmth carried through every part of the celebration, all the way to a late-night party that was exactly what you’d expect after a day like this.

Some of our favorite celebrations begin with a place that already holds years of memories.

For Clara and Matthew, that place was their family’s country club. Together, we transformed the familiar into something that felt entirely new—an experience where every space flowed seamlessly into the next and every detail felt true to who they are, while drawing naturally from the surrounding Florida landscape.

Beautiful to look at, even better to be part of.

A wedding designed to be felt as much as it was seen.

For Abby and Billy, every layer carried the feeling of the day—the soft coastal color, abundant garden-inspired florals, warm light filtering through the clear-top tent, and a custom dance floor that quickly filled with every generation.

Joyful, expressive, and completely alive, it was the kind of celebration that looked beautiful in every direction and felt even better to be part of.

Classic, joyful, and full of personality. Mimi & Jackson celebrated beneath a sailcloth tent in a beautifully tailored blue-and-white design before dancing the night away with everyone they love. A celebration we’ll be thinking about for a long time, and a family we’ll always remember.
