Springtime Splendor in Lakeland, Florida

The sun shone bright in the Florida skies, with a warm spring feel, as Emily Rice and Will McCandless were united in marriage in Lakeland, Florida. Their March 23rd wedding was a celebration that mingled Southern charm with timeless elegance!

The day began with the bridal party getting ready. Emily and her bridesmaids shared laughter and fond memories. Meanwhile, Will and his groomsmen gathered beforehand for cornhole and beers on the lawn. The moments before the ceremony were a tender mix of excitement and reflection as Emily stepped into a stunning Sareh Nouri gown from Bergdorf Goodman, aptly named “Endless Love”. The Italian Stretch Mikado fabric was gorgeous, leading down to a slim flare skirt adorned with an asymmetrical bow – a tribute to modern grace.

The First Presbyterian Church of Lakeland opened its doors to friends, family, and loved ones, who witnessed Emily and Will pledge their love. The bride’s grand entrance, escorted by her father, was a poignant moment, enhanced by the soulful tunes of the Classern Quartet. 

As the newlyweds sealed their marriage with a kiss, the celebration transitioned to the verdant setting of Bonnet Springs Park. The reception area, bathed in the golden hues of the setting sun, was adorned with beautiful floral arrangements by Bloom Shakalaka. 

The evening’s festivities were sparked to life by Rupert’s Orchestra from Atlanta, with the air filled with music that had guests on their feet. As speeches warmed hearts and the dance floor quickly filled, the night carried a vibe of celebration. 

The night culminated in a grand exit, a fitting finale to a day that would live on in the memories of all who were a part of it. Congratulations Emily and Will!
