The I Said Yes! Orlando Wedding Magazine brings to you a special summer edition. Because we want you to plan your dream wedding while sitting by the pool, with a cool drink, and a pair of shades. Or, if you’re not the outdoorsy type, then you can curl up on the sofa, with the A/C full blast and plan away. And, what better way to do that, then by flipping through the pages of a FREE e-magazine.
In fact, this digital magazine makes finding your wedding vendors even easier. Particularly because you can click on the links in the magazine to visit vendor websites and online listings to learn more. Then you can click to connect through email, contact forms or social media.
Unquestionably we create this Orlando wedding magazine with you, the engaged couple, in mind. Therefore we packed this issue with 7 real weddings, 2 styled shoots, 1 expert advice article and tons of inspiration. But that’s not all…it also has links to local wedding pros, information on upcoming wedding shows and I DOs and BREWS™ events. As well as social media links. In fact, there are even videos for some of the pages – simply click the play button when it appears on a page.
We LOVE sharing real weddings with you. Seeing local couples create their perfect wedding day, then marry their best friend and start their new adventure is swoon worthy. Here is a sneak peek of a few of the local couples featured in this issue.
Of course we can’t publish an Orlando wedding magazine without a few styled shoots. Normally the cover of the magazine is created through a styled shoot. But, the cover of this issue is the beautiful wedding of our owners’ daughter. Seriously we can’t stop sharing their wedding. You must check it out starting on page 38.
Since the cover is actually a real wedding, we feature 2 different styled shoots in the pages of this wedding e-magazine. View the shoot starting on page 17 for a look at a new wedding venue in town, The Black Barn.
Now it is time to sit back, put your feet up and enjoy flipping through the pages of this e-magazine. You can even share the magazine on your social pages, or send it to your fiancé, I DO Crew and family. In fact, you can take it with you every where you go because it is always accessible on I Said Yes! FL

This Summer Wedding Florida is one the wedding guests won’t soon forget. Start with gorgeous views of the ocean. Next add in some fun antics by the family. Include special gifts. Then finish with the bride being the DJ. Certainly these elements helped Adriana and Matt have their perfect wedding.
This bride and groom presented each other with special and memorable wedding day gifts. That is to say, Adriana gifted Matt a pair of monogrammed sterling silver Tiffany cufflinks. Similarly, Matt surprised Adriana with a thoughtful and unique sound wave print of their wedding song, “Perfect” by Ed Sheeran.
The photographer, Laiacona Photography and Design, captured the first look. That is to say, a sweet moment of Adriana sneaking quietly behind Matt on the lawn under the sun.
The gorgeous backdrop of this real wedding is compliments of the Atlantic Ocean. Seventy five of the couples closest family and friends joined them on the lawn of the Ritz-Carlton Key Biscayne Miami, FL. Here they witnessed Adriana and Matt say I DO under the swaying palm trees. And not forgetting the calming music of the crashing waves.
We must pause here and look at the stunning veil blowing in the sea breeze. Certainly the bride chose the perfect veil for this Summer wedding Florida. Without a doubt the photographer captured this photo at precisely the right moment.
Speaking of the veil… the photographer, Laiacona Photography and Design said, “We loved capturing their timeless yet beachy portraits including romantic under the veil shots.”
Further, the photographer said, “Our favorite moment during the wedding was when Adriana’s brother and sister ran around with red and blue smoke bombs for visual effects. Inspired idea by the videographer, Joseph Pineiro. Great fun wedding photo idea and perfect for the wedding video!”
The new Mr. & Mrs. danced on the clouds during their first dance. Continuing the fun throughout the night. For instance, Adriana took her “turn” on the tables, impressing DJ Lance of Gannon Events.
This couple loves to travel and we wish them many happy adventures together. Bon Voyage Adriana and Matt.

Nature sets the backdrop for your wedding. Florida is uniquely diversified in the types backdrops available. With 1,350 miles of coastline, 3,000 lakes, big cities, amusement parks, rolling hills, swamp and flat lands, the possibilities are endless. However, we can’t forget that two-fifths of Florida’s land is considered farmland, and much of that being pasture. For example, take Lovelock Ranch. This family owned, working cattle farm is on Carlton Lake, just 30 minutes from Tampa. It boasts a 5,000+ square foot barn with a modern Western aesthetic perfect for cocktail hour and reception. In addition, it has dreamy fields, cypress trees and a tee pee constructed of repurposed pine. This styled shoot is dripping with romantic charm, fall florals and an unexpected guest.
Blooming Flowers and Art created beautiful floral bridal hats. They are not only unique, but give that added flair of fall beauty. Similarly, they created a floral hoop instead of a traditional wedding bouquet style. As a result, these florals create a statement that represents you as the one-of-a-kind bride. Speak with your florist about creative ways to incorporate your personal style and uniqueness into your special day.
Surprise your wedding guests with a visit from an unexpected attendee. Fairytale Petcare are the handlers for this special guest – a llama. That’s right, a llama made an appearance and the cuteness is on overload. Animal guests are trending at weddings, from llama’s, to sloths to beverage burrows. Many of these animals are rescues and they love the attention. Furthermore, they are adorable in your wedding photos.
Charcuterie boards and coffee – you can’t go wrong. Make your wedding extra special by serving your guests some of your favorite things. First, consider pleasing their pallets with a variety of cheeses, fruits and crackers at cocktail hour. These days you can even order individual charcuterie boxes for each guest. Second, choose food that represents you as a couple. Merge your favorite foods into a smorgasbord of courses so you each get something you enjoy. Lastly, don’t forget the dessert and coffee. This 3 tier cake by Tampa Bay Cake Company is sure to wow your guests. Most importantly, everything is made better with specialty coffee in to go cups.
The stunning chandeliers inside the barn and the beautiful barn doors set a gorgeous backdrop for photos. Almost as beautiful as the sunset over the fields with your new spouse and a llama. Whatever type of Florida wedding venue you choose, make it uniquely you. Work with each of your wedding professionals to tell your love story the way you want it told.
