We were so excited to be apart of The Serenata Beach Club’s photo shoot in their newly renovated ballroom.

The following pictures were taken by me which explains the fingerprint in this first one. But it needed to be included because the paintings look so good. LOL
Flowers in this tall centerpiece are a mix of blue and white hydrangeas, coral spray roses, tiny bit of pittosporum and underneath is a cluster of candles and petals.
Beautiful piece of driftwood with roses, spray roses and a sprinkling of petals.
This is a common place for the cake to placed at a wedding which gorgeous ocean views.
The low centerpiece brings in a touch of nature by using a wood slice underneath which is a great compliment to the heavy glass footed bowl and of course there are candles and petals.
The flowers are kale, roses, spray roses, hydrangeas and tiny bit of pittosporum.
The sweetheart table has mounds of flowery goodness! Ahhh so lush!
The amazing vendors on this one were-

Flowers- by yours truly, A Fantasy in Flowers https://afantasyinflowers.com/
We recently did a photo shoot with Robert Max Photography at a private residence in Avondale for some ads for the upcoming upcoming bridal show at Sawgrass Marriott on August 24, 2014.
It turned out gorgeous!
The theme was “secret garden” and we had a lot of fun with these flower bouquet designs.
We also did the doorway with flowers. It was a beautiful touch that could be incorporated into a garden or small wedding. We could also do something similar on arches or chuppahs.
Thank you to the following vendors:

We got the chance to do two gorgeous photo shoots at the Jacksonville Zoo and Gardens this year. Besides the Wildly in Love/Animal Print “wedding” we also did a peacock inspired shoot/mock wedding, which we featured on our blog a couple of months ago.
Several popular wedding websites have since picked up the images and run with them.
We love the text for Time to Drink Champagne‘s intro to the shoot!
“You may be forgiven for thinking that this simply won’t work. I thought much the same when I saw the title for this submission from Christy Whitehead Photography but once you set eyes on the pictures you will realise very quickly that it does work and in fact, it’s pretty darn awesome.
I think the colour scheme and the feathers in the bouquet are inspired. However, it doesn’t stop there; there are details galore in this shoot and the hardest part has been deciding which pictures to show you.”
Be U Weddings said:
“Peacock feathers are making an appearance on everything from wedding fashion to dècor these days. So how can you tastefully incorporate this playful, yet elegant look into your special day? Take cues from this brilliantly bold wedding shoot at the Jacksonville Zoo, captured by the talented Christy Whitehead Photography. Turquoise and fuchsia tones look stunning with crisp white accents. Many of the DIY accessories, such as the glasses and jewelry, were handcrafted by Etsy artisans.
In need of more peacock wedding theme inspiration? Check out these stylish ideas from The Knot and Pinterest.”
Bride and Joy also picked it up, check out their link for more photos.
Local blog The Jacksonville Bride also picked up the images and ran with them.
Weddingstar wrote a nice blog about the shoot as well, you can see it at their website.
There is a video for the shoot at http://youtu.be/WIUIz5V72_k.

Earlier this year we had the priviledge of working with a ton of great local wedding vendors to do a shoot at the Jacksonville Zoo and Gardens.
Photos from the shoot appeared recently on the Weddzilla blog:
“This zoo themed wedding is really one of a kind. It incorporates zaney animal prints, animal figurines and many DIY wedding extras that will have wildly inspired.
This wedding really celebrates all that nature has to offer with zebra and giraffe print decoration, zesty orange shades and earthy green and browns/ You really do have to see it to believe it, but it totally works!
This wild and in love Florida wedding photo shoot took place in Jacksonville, Florida and has been submitted by Christy at Christy Whitehead Photography along with the help of a huge team of wedding experts.”
This shoot was also featured on FAByouBliss
““Wildly in Love”…isn’t that the cutest title for this animal theme styled wedding shoot? And the shoot itself is absolutely adorable as well.
Christy of Christy Whitehead Photography and event designer Tanya Hendricks of Southern Charm Weddings & Events thought it was crazy that no real couple had put together an animal themed wedding at the Jacksonville Zoo. So they put one together to show how awesome the idea could be. And boy did they run with it!
To get the look she wanted, Christy covered suspenders in animal print and made the bow ties for the men which were SUPER easy. She also made the table runners, which again were so easy to make! And she made the giraffe and zebra cake topper. Many of the other elements were purchased via Etsy and since the bride and groom models had previously worked together, their chemistry was already through the roof!
Again…what a brilliant idea to combine and animal themed shoot with a zoo venue. I think a real wedding like this would be spectacular!”

We were also featured on Wedding Wire for this shoot!
Be sure to check out the blog links for MORE photos!
Christy Whitehead, Tanya Hendricks and Lauren Atwaters did an excellent job pulling this shoot together and creating one of a kind looks. We couldn’t be happier with how this turned out and always love working with local professionals.
And here’s a list of some of the awesome vendors that participated:
Bridesmaid Dresses: Kohls
We are super excited and head over heels in love with this photo shoot we participated in at the Jacksonville Zoo & Gardens.
This was a peacock inspired wedding shoot. Peacock is hot right now, and we are in love with the colors and the many different looks you can create with it.
You can go really over the top dramatic with peacock feathers and bursts of color everywhere or you can go very subtle and elegant.
Tanya Hendricks, with Southern Charm Events, and Christy Whitehead, of Christy Whitehead Photography, really pulled together a nice, elegant and modern “wedding.”
Our favorite image from the shoot is above! This is in the Jaguar area at the Zoo. You will be seeing this image pop up in a lot of our advertising, it is such a romantic image!
We were originally supposed to have matching dresses for the “bridesmaids” but Bonny Bridal sent us two peacock toned dresses that were very similar in cut to each other. A lot of brides are choosing to have their bridesmaids wear similar but not the same dresses. And this is really a nice way to add some more color and perhaps allow each bridesmaid to let a bit of her own personality shine through.
And, our floral artist and painter extraordinaire Amy Dwarika painted the bride’s shoes.
Thank you to Visual Power Cinema for this video! And Christy Whitehead Photography for the photos.
