The Day was beautiful except for the drizzly rain that made us move the ceremony to the Magnolia patio from the Lobby Balcony. This was an unexpected blessing however!
Our Shades of Green assistant/planner for the day of was Michelle.

The Morning started with My Husband, parents, sister and her boyfriend and 2 children all going golfing at the Buena Vista Golf course. They had an 8am T time and passed right by our room at Old Key West. My daughter (6) had a great time being Daddy's coffee runner! 
My Friend and I were planning to get our Hair and Make up done that morning by Crystal Waters.

She had planned on being there at 11:30 and was right on time! She set up while we talked about the various things I was looking for. I LOVED My hair. It had 2 braids on the left and was curled in a low swept bun. I added a peach chiffon flower that I had added a seagull brooch from the 1940's to. and also some bling that Chrystal had. Beautiful!
And it stayed up all night!!
She also did my Friends hair and My youngest daughters hair. She did a great job. Everyone looked amazing!
I am waiting on the professional pics so that I can show them off!

So after we had our hair done, Brandon and the rest of my family got back from Golfing and everyone started getting ready.
We headed over to Shades of Green to decorate about 2ish.
We met Michelle who was out day of coordinator. She had done everything to prep that I had asked. My Friend (also Heidi) started decorating. And Brandon and I went to look at the cake. My Friend and I had made most of the decorations. She is an amazing friend.
The Cake from It's Tasty Too was amazing. So pretty and exactly what I had asked for! Our theme was beachy with the Mine Mine Mine seagulls. I am a little obsessed with them. We loved the cake and went back to help finish the decorations.
We about finished when it started to drizzle!
Michelle asked if we wanted to see other option for the ceremony. This was at 3:15 and I was still not dressed. I followed Michelle to the prettiest little patio that was covered and just perfect. However our photographer was supposed to be there any minute and How was I to move everything!!!!!!
Michelle told me she would take care of it and to go get dressed.
So we left to hurry and dress.
I came back up from our room to see Allison walking in. She was very professional and really sweet. She introduced herself and I told her what was going on. So we went back down to Magnolia Patio thinking it would be a rush to get everything together!
It was amazing!!!! Michelle had grabbed staff to move everything and in about 20 minutes had made a beautiful space that was a mix of Our Beach theme and a Tuscan villa! It was a miricle! We seriously could not have been more shocked at all she accomplished in 20 minutes. She even Ran to get me and Iced Tea at that point!! LOL
At this point we started taking photos around the resort. The property of Shades of green is beautiful. Everyone started arriving and then we met Lon Tosi. He officiated our ceremony. He was great. Very friendly! He did a wonderful job and stayed for the toast.
