Vintage Eclectic Florida Wedding {Part 2}

Alrighty, we’re finally to Part 2 of this fantabulous vintage eclectic wedding from Robert Madrid Photography! (If you haven’t seen Part 1 yet, you MUST!) The details are AMAZING! They’re so fun and personal, just as all details should be! Keep an eye out for more insight from the bride, Ashley, and also for a the wedding trailer from Indie Atlantic Films!

Did any of your vendors do anything special for you before, on, or after your wedding day that you would like to share?

Liz Chinchilla (our wedding designer) surprised me with the “John Hancock” sign behind the guestbook table. She told me she had a surprise for me but wouldn’t let me see until the reception! It was soooooo cool! Again, she is ridiculously talented and she can do EVERYTHING!

What was your favorite thing about your wedding?

Obviously marrying Andy was my absolute favorite thing about our wedding! I have lots of other, favorite details about our wedding, but the one that stands out most is the incredible generosity of our friends, family, and even strangers! We were both so overwhelmed by the amount of love shown to us on that day and the weeks, even months, leading up to it. I remember Andy and I riding in the limo, leaving the reception, and both of us wanting to go back to help clean up and to just see our friends/family. We are so incredibly thankful to everyone that helped with our wedding!

What is your best piece of advice for other brides?

A good friend of mine gave me this advice and it really stuck with me: “Something will go wrong on your wedding day and it’s ok. You have done everything you can so just enjoy every moment. At the end of the day you will still be married and that is what it’s really all about.” This advice helped so much because we did have some small things go wrong. But, the people we had around us to take care of it did their job and it was still the most magical day of our lives!

I would also say invest money in a good videographer. While planning, you don’t realize how important a creative film will be after the wedding. The day went by so fast and it’s hard to remember everything. The film allowed both of us to relive it. The photos we have are absolutely incredible! But film captures such a different emotion than photography and we are so thankful to have both!

And now, speaking of having film, DEFINITELY check out their wedding trailer by Indie Atlantic Films…

Huge huge HUGE thank you to Robert Madrid Photography for sharing this amazing wedding with us, and thank you to Ashley for her incredible wedding insight and for having such an awesome wedding!

I think my favorite details are the balloon table numbers and the pages of books used throughout the decor. Which detail is your favorite?!
