Julia & Mike’s wedding reception at The Carousel at Lighthouse Point was filled with so many special touches that not only made for a truly remarkable evening, but also gave their guests a glimpse of the couple’s warm and witty personalities. Their save-the dates, invitations and thank-you notes carried the carnival/carousel inspiration of their wedding throughout. LOVE ‘em!

We asked today’s beautiful bride, Julia to tell us a little bit about their day …
There is so much I could say about our wedding. The days and nights we spent planning it together… The countless hours spent looking at/trying on dresses only to ultimately decide on a jcrew mail order… the family, friends, and vendors who helped out along the way… but when it comes right down to it, I think the one thing that defines the day is that it was perfectly us ~ and that made it perfect.

And the one thing that ALL of Justin & Mary Marantz’ couples agree upon … they have stunning proof that all of their hard work in planning their wedding was well worth it! A few more stunning photographs from Justin & Mary …

A huge collective sigh! Just beautiful!
Thanks to the awesome Marantz’, Sarah McCoy and most especially to Julia & Mike for sharing these great photos with us. And a HUGE congrats to Julia … the beautiful bride … who is now sporting the title “Apprentice” at the Marantz headquarters! Can’t wait to start featuring your work too!
Goodness! I've been stalking this wedding all day. Such beautiful details & inspiration of how a unique venue can carry the theme for all the other details.
Love that postcard too!
Who did the stationary? It is fantastic! Congrats to the happy couple!
Oo can you tell me where those dresses are from? I love that shade of blue!
Our fabulous invitations were a collaboration between stationers Invitations, Ink in Manasquan NJ and my dad. My dad took the pictures and designed the front of the postcards and Amy and Matt (of Invitations, Ink) designed and collaborated with us on the rest!
The maid of honor's dress is J. Crew and the bridesmaids dresses are Mint Jodi Arnold
This wedding is so stinkin' cute! The bud vases on the tables are perfect! I love that you found such a pretty way to reuse old glass bottles.
Beautiful wedding! I love the sunflowers - they gave the day such a happy look!
This is such an adorable wedding and I mean adorable as in so cool and full of personality. The guests must have gone crazy over this wedding.
Jen, it looks like the bride is wearing the JCrew Sophia dress, and one of the bridesmaid is wearing JCrew Rebecca dress...I don't recognize the other 2.
The details in this wedding are unbelievable! LOVE the invitations. Well done!
