Club Continental Wedding | Amber & Jessica
On the afternoon of Thursday, June 30th, after the looming Florida shower had moved on, the sky opened up and the sun beamed down on Club Continental in early celebration of Amber and Jessica's upcoming nuptials. The brides were instantly relieved about the change of weather, and were able to enjoy the rest of the process of getting themselves ready to marry one another. Amber got ready with her daughters in one building on the property, while Jessica prepared with her family in another building. Both brides were glowing from excitement to finally say "I do" to each other and to dance the night away with their closest friends and family.
Before Amber and Jessica's first look, Amber did a first look with her brother, and as sweet and touching as it looks, I'm here to tell you that it was more so in person!
Amber gifted Jessica with a handmade scrapbook journal, filled with notes from all of the people closest to her.
Both women were so nervous and excited to see one another, but when they reunited for their first look, all of those nerves washed away.
The combination of the pink roses and the greenery in their decor was simply breathtaking - it really complimented the natural beauty of Club Continental.
They wrote their own vows (I LOVE when couples do this!!) and they were some of the most emotional vows I've ever heard.
After the ceremony and family portraits, we took a moment away from the madness to get in some photos of the newlyweds. Club Continental is so full of lush greenery all around the grounds, and it was absolutely gorgeous lighting for photos. You would never have thought that it was pouring a few hours earlier!
The reception kicked off with the first dance, followed by Jessica and her dad, as well as Amber and her brother.
After dinner, it was time to dance the night away! And let me tell you, this crowd did nothing but. Good vibes were in the air, and everyone had a blast, beginning to end.
The night ended with a bubble exit, which is an adorable alternative to the ever so popular/dangerous sparklers! I hope the newlyweds are having the best of times on their honeymoon cruise!
