Venue Spotlight: Paradise Cove

A Little Slice of Beach Right in Orlando


This could possibly be the best local wedding venue you have never heard of. Far from the traditional ballrooms, churches, and orthodox spaces is this hidden gem Paradise Cove. Though it's only minutes away from Disney in Buena Vista it feels like a secluded tropical island which makes having your dream beach wedding close to home and affordable.

Paradise Cove is a great venue because they are willing and able to work with a variety of budgets especially those with a less than traditional price tag. I have had several brides come into the shop and swear by this venue. Did I also mention you can bring in your own caterer and alcohol! That's enough to sell me on this great location.

But if you need more convincing check out the videos to see first hand just how unique and laid back this faux beach venue is. This venue is so ideal for the laid back bride who still has a vision for a beautiful event. Cozy fire pits, tea lights, and a scenic beach front lake are a desirable backdrop for Paradise Cove events.

Happy 4th Everyone!

So in honor of July 4th I thought I would share some really cool patriotic wedding theme ideas. I think planning an 'All American' at home wedding would be so nostalgic and the possibilities are really endless.

Personally a 4th of July wedding was something I had considered especially since my boyfriend served in the Marine Corps and we both love the sentimentality around celebrating all the good things about our country past and present. Weddings at their core should always be about celebrating the happiness you have found with family and friends which really digs down to what this particular theme stands for. 

 

I also loved the idea of putting a really cool retro feel to a patriotic wedding. Especially for a military couple I think it would be such a great way to honor their commitment to one another and the service to their country. A little 1940's-50's vibe reminiscent of the WWII Era, because I mean what could be more American than a white picket fence and a cherry pie. 


Of course the possibilities are endless whether you choose a retro undertone or even a barbecue or picnic atmosphere there is so much a bride can do with this simple concept. Whatever you decide to do just remember this theme stands for honor, home, and country so it is important to really make your own.


 
 

I hope this post was somewhat helpful in inspiring all you brides out there. I hope you all have a wonderful and magical July 4th. Give your fiancee a big kiss under those fireworks, enjoy the company of your loved ones, and most of all remember this country is our home.
