Diane and Demarcus had a Lightner Museum wedding that was filled with so much joy and love! As wedding planners, we have planned dozens of weddings at this venue, and this is one of our favorites!

We knew it would be the most perfect day because of the pure happiness that was radiating off the couple! Diane Started the day with hair and makeup with her girls and got into her gorgeous gown from the Bridal Finery by Ines de Santo! The satin, elegant dress emulated Diane’s personality! From there on, the smiles never stopped.

Diane exchanged her first look with her father, full of hugs and laughter! Little did we know, that was a little taste of what Demarcus’ reaction was going to be like a little bit later during their very own first look as bride and groom!

Then came the big moment, It was ceremony time at the Lightner Museum! Diane didn’t have a theme but knew that she wanted her ceremony to be romantic and elegant! Demarcus go into position and anxiously awaited for the moment that his soon to be wife was going to walk down the aisle. Demarcus instantly beamed as he saw Diane walking down the aisle with her father. They said their I do’s and kissed each other for the first time as a married couple. You could feel the excitement in the room and that carried on throughout the whole night!
