Melanie + Calon, The Colony {palm beach}

“It is often said that it is love that makes the world go round. However, without doubt, it is friendship which keeps our spinning existence on an even keel. True friendship provides so many of the essentials for a happy life-it is the foundation on which to build an enduring relationship, it is the mortar which bonds us together in harmony, and it is the calm, warm protection we sometimes need when the world outside seems cold and chaotic. True friendship holds a mirror to our foibles and failings, without destroying our sense of worthiness. True friendship nurtures our hopes, supports us in our disappointments, and encourages us to grow to our best potential. (Bride) and (Groom) came together as friends. Today, they pledge to each other not only their love, but also the strength, warmth and, most importantly, the fun of true friendship.”

Melanie’s wedding dress was 70 years old, a family heirloom. Her 95 year old grandmothers wedding dress. The moment her grandmother saw her in it when she walked down the aisle put a huge smile on my face. What a beautiful moment. With Melanie being in the styling world, I wasn’t a bit surprised by her guests fashion and lets not forget Calon and Chasko (their pup) looking nothing but striking. Calon proposed to Melanie at the iconic palm beach clocktower, so we had to create at least one epic moment there. When the party started, Melanie changed into a dress designed just for her. Calon and Melanie ended the evening sabering champagne to bring a final toast to the beautiful celebration.
