For Brittany and Alex, this was a long day in the making. These two have known each other ever since the second grade; and according to their families, they had a crush on each other then! Although not willing to admit it at the time, they finally gave in to each other during high school and were nothing short of inseparable. After a beautiful proposal at the World's Fair Pavilion in St. Louis, these two began tackling the details of their wedding together, hand-crafting invitations, reserving a trolley for their bridal party, and making sure this day was perfectly suited to just the two of them. Soft and slightly rustic burlap and delicate white lace combined with soft pinks and muted blues and greens to create a palette that was perfect for their beach wedding. The gentlemen's casual khaki colors and trendy suspenders lent a casual touch that was juxtaposed by the ladies' more elegant dresses. Brittany's gown of all-over lace was sophisticated and gave an air of days gone by. A truly romantic touch was their first dance - instead of being under the tiki, they chose to have it out on the sandy cliff overlooking the ocean. Many of their family and friends joined them from out of state to celebrate the day, and everyone from Ohio to Missouri to Florida and everyone in between enjoyed witnessing the vows and promises between the newlyweds on such a gorgeous and sunny day. Congratulations, Brittany and Alex! May your future be just as bright and beautiful as your ceremony and celebration!
