I thought it fitting that I fill in a few blanks regarding my upcoming wedding on October 25th of this year. My fiance and I are from Philadelphia, and love our home town, but when it came time to planning our wedding, we had one word in mind, DESTINATION!
We began to search out potential sites, until one afternoon I stumbled upon a real wedding on The Knot that took my breath away. I saw these pictures, and I knew that this was what we were looking for!
It is the The Ribault Club, which is located on Fort George Island, FL. I knew that when I saw that big oak tree, we had to get married underneath it. Upon further research, I found out that Ft George Island is one of the barrier islands, and is right next door to Amelia Island, a gorgeous vacation spot about a half hour from Jacksonville, in northern Florida. It was perfect! We wanted a destination wedding, it will be an easy locale for our guests to get to, and presents a southern charm that will give our special day something completely beautiful and unique!
I contacted Leana Gallagher, who runs Amelia Occasions, and put the wedding planning in process. She is awesome, and I have definitely needed her help, given that I am not only planning a destination wedding, but a destination wedding at a venue where all the vendors have to be brought in! So many decisions, so much to do, but loving every minute of it!
