We were so excited to be filming both the rehearsal dinner and wedding day of sweethearts, Gabby and Eric! Their event planner had reached out to us at the beginning of summer to find out if we were available for their out-of-state wedding being held shortly before the Christmas holiday. We were, and happily packed up a day before the event for the warmer weather of Florida!
The two held their rehearsal dinner the evening before their wedding at The Mar-a-Lago Club in Palm Beach, Florida. Many fantastic speeches and toasts were given in honor of the bride and groom as the most delectable food and drinks were served. The love and joy felt this evening was a lovely prelude to the wonderful day to come.
The rain we had anticipated held off completely for Gabby and Eric's gorgeous wedding at The Breakers, a luxury resort also located in Palm Beach. This amazing hotel is simply dripping in glamour and opulence with its sparking crystal chandeliers, luxurious fabrics, gilded moldings and soaring ceilings. And you can't overlook those fabulous ocean views!
Both the bride and groom prepared for their day in separate suites there at The Breakers. After hair and makeup, Gabby dressed into her amazing bridal dress, a strapless ball gown with a gorgeous lace overlay. She had a beautiful long veil attached to her very chic updo for the ceremony. And Eric looked so handsome in his 3-piece, black paisley-vested tuxedo on this very special day.
Gabby and Eric had hired our friend, Jeff Tisman and his team to photograph their wedding events. As always, the photos are fantastic, ever so dramatic, and it was such a pleasure to travel with and to work with him and his team again. Be sure to check out his instagram site for a peek!
It was then time for the couple's ceremony to begin. White floral arrangements lined both sides of the aisle, leading straight into the floral arch, overflowing with large, white blooms and greenery. We love how emotional Eric was at the sight of his bride entering through the doors! The two shared their vows, exchanged rings and made it official!
After the ceremony concluded and additional photos were taken, Gabby and Eric headed over to their reception space. Their reception was held in The Circle Ballroom, a gorgeous ballroom with a 30-foot domed ceiling complete with fresco-painted landscape murals and floor-to-ceiling arched windows boasting breathtaking ocean views. And the romantic candles and luscious, towering floral table centerpieces in white and were the icing on the cake. And speaking of cake, Gabby and Eric's six-tiered, white wedding cake with its white flowers and gold banding looked too perfect to eat!
The Breakers gave the couple a fantastic sparkler salute as the two entered the ballroom upon being announced to their guests! Gabby and Eric then danced their first special dance together as husband and wife. It was perfectly choreographed and so utterly romantic!
Beautiful toasts were given during dinner, then the dance floor opened to everyone. And wow, was this a party to remember! Gabby, Eric and all their guests really had a blast celebrating and dancing the night away!
It was a true joy to travel down to the sunshine state for this amazing wedding event, and to film such a sweet, loving couple. And it was wonderful to work with their event planner, Glori Gayster, as she successfully created the most perfect wedding celebration for the couple. Congratulations and best wishes to Gabby and Eric!
