Real Weddings: Holly + Matt

Holly and Matt’s Seaside, FL wedding is one of those that just makes me nostalgic for the South. Paul Johnson Photography did such an amazing job capturing all of the sweet and Southern details!

Holly is an absolutely stunning bride.  Classic, natural, and beautiful.

Her adorable King Charles Cavalier helped her to get ready (you know I can’t resist posting a good puppy shot).

Favorite photo of the event… heading to the church!

St. Rita’s Catholic Church in Seaside is a beautiful space.  Matt and Holly accented its doors with wreaths of seashells and glass.

The reception was held at Holly’s family home in Seaside and the details are fabulous.  Love this “Boat Load of Beer”!

The last picture is my favorite!

What a beautiful wedding, and stunning photography! This looks like another very stylish wedding that may be bringing back the nostalgia of cake slices in little boxes as favors… hmmm… I’ve been thinking about doing that!
