A hazy and overcast day didn't stop M&K from getting photos at one of the most famous holes in golf at their venue, TPC Sawgrass!
(Did you know that more than 100,000 balls are retrieved from the water surrounding
the Island Green every year?)

There are few moments more special than a father walking his daughter down the aisle!
In that aisle, time seems to stand still, and the world fades away. It's a sacred passage, a bridge between two beautiful chapters. So here's to the fathers who held our hands in the beginning and continue to hold our hearts forever.

We're still swooning over every impeccable detail from M+K's amazing wedding at TPC Sawgrass!

This season, we give thanks for the amazing couples who trusted us with their dreams, the talented vendors who brought those dreams to life, and the joyous memories that continue to bloom.
Wishing you a day of gratitude and reflection, and looking forward to more love stories in the chapters ahead. Happy Thanksgiving from our hearts to yours!
Sunset photos are our favorites! Before you send your wedding invitations, be sure to talk to your photographer about the timing of your ceremony if you want to take advantage of the beautiful light at sunset. Your venue location will also play into this equation! Depending on the time of year, sunset can range from 5:30 pm to 8:30 pm in North Florida. There are lots of online resources to look up to sunset time for your wedding date!

While a lot of wedding cakes are traditionally round, we love cakes that are a different shape! Hexagon cakes are not only visually stunning but also add a touch of sophistication and uniqueness to your special day.
Why hexagons, you ask? Well, aside from their trendy geometric appeal, hexagons symbolize harmony and balance β the perfect metaphor for your union!
Beyond the eye-catching shape, this cake from our friends at was a delicious indulgence too!

Cheers to the magical moments that will last a lifetime! π The joy, love, and laughter shared by this amazing wedding party are absolutely contagious.
We hear horror stories all the time about bridesmaids or mothers of the bride or groom who miss important moments on the wedding day because they are busy setting up reception decor or dealing with a vendor that needs their attention. Hiring a professional wedding planner allows your friends and family to be present at every moment with you.

Getting sneak peeks from photographers is our favorite! Betsy and Richard's wedding day was amazing, and the photos truly capture every emotion. The mother of the bride, Barbara, had these words to share:
"Kari - Words cannot express our gratitude to you and Emma for all the hard work you put into Betsy and Richard's wedding. It was just perfect." β€οΈ

A stunning tablescape from K&L's fall wedding at Tuscan Rose Vineyards! From the charger plates to the gold flatware to the specialty water goblets, every detail was perfect and looked amazing in the venue's Vineyard Hall.

It's our anniversary! Today, First Coast Weddings and Events turns 21 - break out the champagne! November 8, 2002 was the date of our company's incorporation, and we'd like to take a moment today to reflect on all the wonderful clients and vendors we have gotten to work with over the past 21 years. Thank you all for your love and friendship! β€οΈ
Yes, we love your furry family members as much as you do! And we're happy to help you coordinate their attendance at your outdoor wedding ceremony as long as your venue approves.
Pups are usually brought to the ceremony site by a friend or family member (or a pet concierge service) and then they are taken home after the post-ceremony photo session. Too much stimulation isn't good for them (or you!) and we want you both to have a wonderful wedding experience.

When your ceremony aisle has lots of petals or other decor, it's best to rope off the entrance and seat guests from the outside aisle. This way your decor stays intact! Just before the processional begins, your coordinator will remove the ribbon so that only those participating in the ceremony will walk down the center aisle.

Exchanging vows isn't just about promising 'I do,' it's a commitment to a lifetime of love, support, and endless adventures together.
Many couples choose to write their own vows because it's a chance to express their unique love story, personal promises, and heartfelt emotions in the most authentic way. But whether you craft your own vows or use suggestions from your officiant, be sure that the words you say are true to you!
