Jaclyn and James had a sweet, intimate wedding at the Artisan Alley Garage in historic downtown Deland. It featured their favorite things: Mexican food, Disney, Dole Whip, Live Music- 80’s Music and 90’s Alternative, etc. Elements of the decor feature things mentioned in the song “These are a few of my favorite things” from the Sound of Music – copper kettles, girls in white dresses with blue satin sashes, crisp apple strudel, brown paper packages tied up with string etc. Jaclyn always sang that song to their children at bedtime 🙂 See their Disney Engagement photos here. Congratulations Jaclyn and James!

Describe your wedding planning process Winging It
What advice would you give to future brides for their wedding day? Go with your first instinct and don’t overthink.
Anything you would have done differently? I would have sent out invitations. (I didn’t have time after we moved the date up) I plan to send out marriage announcements for those who couldn’t make it, when we get our pictures 🙂
Most memorable moment during the planning process– Running around the county with my girlfriends, searching for enough matching copper forks.
What are you most looking forward to as a married couple? All of us officially having the same last name and all the milestones the future holds.
Which moment are you the most excited to see in photos? Photos that include our children.
What was your wedding inspiration? The song Favorite Things, from the Sound of Music.
Describe some of your favorite wedding details and how you came up with them- We had a soft serve yogurt machine with Pineapple, Vanilla, and both Swirled. We recreated Dole Whip, one of our favorite Disney World treats.
