The Mansion at Hilliard Wedding | Michelle + Evan
I met Michelle while we were both in college, in the sorority we were involved with. One thing I always knew about her was that she had a radiant personality, and her smile was contagious. She and Evan are perfect for one another because they are always smiling when they're together. They exude love and passion for each other, a feeling that was present throughout their entire wedding day at The Mansion in Hilliard, Florida.
Michelle and the girls got their hair and makeup done while sipping on champagne upstairs...
The bridesmaids were adorable in the robes Michelle gifted them with to wear while everyone got their hair and makeup done...
Michelle was like a princess that day, everyone rushing around her making sure she looked perfect before walking down the aisle...
Her mom shared a sweet moment with her, helping put her veil on...
Meanwhile, Evan and the guys watched football and got ready downstairs.
They couldn't have asked for more beautiful weather that Saturday evening...
The guys came out and performed a choreographed routine before walking down the aisle!
The ring bearer and flower girl were just darling...
My favorite part about a ceremony is the groom's reaction. When Michelle walked down the aisle, Evan was beaming, and kept telling her how beautiful she looks.
The ceremony was littered with adorable sentiments and allowed the couple's quirkiness to shine through...
See what I mean?! These two are hilarious and adorable!
After the ceremony, I was able to sneak away with Michelle and Evan to take some photos among the beautiful foliage.
After photos, the guests were led into the barn behind the mansion for the reception...
The event was catered by Sonny's BBQ
The beautiful cakes were provided by Cinottis Bakery
The couple had their guests sign a matted photo from their engagement session that you can see here! They also had a Wish Tree, where guests wrote wishes and advice on tags and tied them to the tree.
Michelle and Evan entered their reception, and went straight into their first dance as husband and wife.
Shortly after, the party got started by this fun bunch of people!
The DJ, Jeff Bell, was so awesome! He provided props for everyone to wear on the dance floor, and coached everyone through the songs that had specific dances for them.
The night ended with a glowstick send-off! The couple left for their honeymoon in Hawaii the next day.
