Planning a Wedding

veda news





Sorry for all the crickets around here this past week. I kind of picked up and left without warning. As I mentioned a week or so ago, I’ll be getting married in Florida next May. Wahoo! The boy and I (along with my mom & pops) just got back from a week-long scouting trip to scoup out the location and get a little more hands on planning done. It’s pretty tricky planning a wedding from afar, so I was very pleased to be able to almost completely nail down our cake deign, venue planning, hair stylist, DJ, furniture & decor rentals, rental home found, and our entire menu picked out. WHEW!! Feels super refreshing to have a big chunk of that done and now.

We’ll be getting married on the Beach at Alys Beach, Florida. It’s a quant little beach community that feels like it’s been plucked out of the Mediterranean. We’ll be renting out a beach house for the entire week and holding are reception in the cutest coffee bar that has the best outdoor patio. I’m pretty giddy and look forward to sharing more DIY projects with you as I go. You can see the first DIY project here.

Is anyone else planning a wedding? Has anyone been to Alys Beach? oh….and congrats to my online buddy Amy Moore for getting engaged while I was away.

  2. Love this! I’m to planning my May 2014 wedding from afar. Only 3 hours away, but still enough distance to make it difficult. Had no idea wedding planning could be so consuming! Excited to get the big things nailed down and be able to breath.

    1. Hi Noor! Thanks for stopping by. I’m not from Florida, but my family had a family home down there that I would frequently visit over a 10 year span. Now the house is sold, but still love going back to enjoy the Gulf Coast!

  6. Cass! These photos are stunning — I truly thought upon first glance that they were somewhere in the Mediterranean. How exciting (and surely a huge weight off your shoulders) that you’ve gotten all those details squared away for your wedding. The venue looks absolutely gorgeous and so very you. Can’t wait to hear more about it — kudos to you for being brave enough to plan a wedding from afar!

    And thank you so much for the engagement shout-out. You’re such a sweetheart 🙂

    1. Thanks amy! I’ve never been to the Mediterranean, but have always wanted to go. I’m glad we were able to achieve the look, but still keep the wedding in the states so all our friends and family could attend 🙂

      Congrats again!

    1. I know, right? Who knew florida had a gem like this. It really is a very small community and it really feels like you’re in this little bubble of bliss 🙂

  10. I just came across this post, I know it’s a little old.. I’m considering the Fonville Press for a wedding/reception venue and am wondering how receptive Alys has been to your DIY projects. Any insight? Thank you!

    1. Hi Whitney!

      Thanks for reaching out. We LOVED everything about ALYS beach. The people and the catering with Caliza (on site) is just perfect. In order to do the DIY, we worked with local florist called Fishers Flowers. ALYS beach was pretty much OK with all of our DIY projects. We did have to hire an individual from their maintenance staff to hang our chandelier. You can no alter the structure of the building at all, but they are will to brainstorm.

      Hope that helps. If you need anymore info, feel free to email me at casspyle@gmail.com
