Beach Party in Central Florida

Feel the need for a Beach Party? Even in Ocala, FL? All you need is sand and water. So bring in some dumptrucks full of sand, beach umbrellas, a beautiful pool to stand in for the ocean and you're getting close.

Llambias House & White Room Wedding, St. Augustine, FL

Unforgettable Events was at the Llambias House in St. Augustine, FL once again for a destination wedding.
Short dresses are showing up more and more at our weddings.
The arbor was adorned with florals matching the bridal party bouquets.

Alternating green and orange orchids surrounded the wishing well topped with floating candles.
After the ceremony the party began at the White Room in St. Augustine. A beautiful venue with great views and a wonderful staff.

Napkins were shimmering green, tied with satin orange ribbon & a Mokara orchid.
Tall arrangements and lower arrangements balance the room decor.
Specialty pieces were designed for the bar.


And just in case you weren't in the mood for wedding cake.........have a donut!!!

Wedding Event Style Magazine Launch

The Unforgettable Events team had a blast putting this one together. There's nothing like taking over the streets, a parking lot, The Landing dock and gorgeous yacht and get to do whatever we want.

Enter through UE's tiffany blue gateway and walk the white carpet to the Launch Party for Wedding Event Style magazine.
All of the guests enjoyed free valet parking....
and an open bar, under the clear tent erected by Kirby Tent Rental.

Crystals shimmered around the bar and the dance floor and vases were filled with white callas.

The launch party was catered by Chef's Garden of Jacksonville, FL. There were delicious combination plates as well as sushi and a dessert bar.

Unforgettable Events - BEFORE









and, AFTER














The BEFORE and AFTER at The Landing was spectacular - turquoise shimmer linen covered cocktail tables with florals adorning each one and a stylish silver Chaviari chair to complete the look...Unforgettable.
Lounge style furniture by Zeus , perfect for staging a special event. High quality event furniture in white leather with turquoise pillows were tailored to our needs.
Our very own magician, Jerus Spry...spryguymagic@yahoo.com entertained us for hours.

Captain Dane Myers and his crew brought in the Ginn Sundancer Yacht and the evening festivities began. A luxury vessel perfect for rehearsal dinner, bachelor/bachelorette party or an intimate wedding.
The ladies to call when booking at Epping Forest arrived just in time to board.
Jennifer and Liz of Chef's Garden put together a beautiful espresso and liquer bar on the main deck of the Sundancer.

and AFTER, the bar was the place to be.



The UE crew made sure everything flowed smoothly.

One of our future brides was in attendance.

Dino Casillas the Cigar Man from Edward's kept the cigar smokers happy outside on the top deck.

Janice Dauth from Black Tie Rentals stayed late and... although the party was supposed to end at 10:00 the moon rose over the river and we just couldn't bear to leave.
Many of the great shots taken by our good friends at SandRphotography. Thanks guys!!!

Emerald Grande in Destin, FL

Unforgettable Events enjoyed another event in beautiful Destin, Florida. The Emerald Grande Resort sits on the tip of Harbor Boulevard with the most breathtaking view of the Gulf of Mexico and Destin Harbor. Pamper is the word with impeccable service and a hospitality standard unlike any other. We want to say a BIG thank you to Jackie Gibson and the staff for over the top assistance in meeting everyone's needs.

The ceremony site is spectacular. There is an elegant wedding staircase that leads to the deck.


Using our most popular gazebo, our bride, Megan, chose the softness of peach and pink to accent it against a clear sky.

Pink hydrangea and a variety of roses were just what she was looking for.
Softness continued as a contrast against the black linens and as the evening progressed...

the lighting added more charm. Tall centerpieces with orchids afloat and curly willow extending from the top created a heightened illusion in the ballroom.
Clear crystal strands hung from the curly branches as well as hand strung pink orchids.


Megan is such a feminine woman and wanted feather accents which we chose to add to the smaller arrangements. She even had a small one as an adornment for her hair and the groom's boutonniere.
The sweetheart table was also adorned with crystals as well as black calas to tie in with the linens and the groomsmen's boutonnieres.

Addison Fitzgerald , an award winning photographer from N. Florida, flew in with the couple from St. Augustine. His specialty is wedding photojournalism and Megan & Chris are having their event featured in Wedding Receptions Magazine.
