Jacksonville Wedding by Nate Henderson

This northern Florida wedding is all about cheerful pops of color and I’m loving the mix of contrasting yet harmonizing hues this bride put together. From her blue shoes to the ring bearer’s orange bow tie, this wedding is one happy little rainbow of love. Photographed perfectly by Nate Henderson, these photos are sure to put a smile on your face. See the rest of the shiny, happy photos here in the gallery!

From Nate Henderson: Katie, who grew up in Jacksonville, loved the idea of an old Florida garden party as inspiration for her wedding ceremony and reception; she selected The Ribault Club on Fort George Island (a historic piece of land just east of Jacksonville, now an ecological and history preserve). She sought a fun and relaxed vintage feel with just a hint of elegance. And since it is the Sunshine State, Katie wanted plenty of vibrant color. There was an abundance of oranges, bright lanterns, and vintage Florida post cards that she and her mom collected together. A Flamingo couple topped with a veil and top hat made an appearance, along with an assortment of other bird themes. They wed under a gigantic oak tree on the back lawn of The Ribault Club. Afterwards, guests enjoyed the sunset next to the water (just a stone’s throw from Club), as well as the cool breezes on the lawn. After much dancing through the night, Andy and Katie exited to the sound of kazoos into a vintage Rolls Royce with friends and family waving on.

    hey ladies, hopefully the bride will respond with the answers to all your questions as we posted all the info that was given to us. I'm gonna guess that the bridesmaid dresses are J.Crew...they look like ones I was looking into for my own wedding. Glad you all love the wedding!

    Hi everyone,

    Thank you for all of the great comments, the wedding was amazing and more than we could have imagined! Here are ALL the answers to your questions...

    Bridesmaids Dresses- J.Crew, Silk Chiffon in Graphite.
    Grooms Socks- J.Crew
    My Shoes- They are actually Urban Outfitters with a custom shoe clip from etsy! Someone thought they were Betsey Johnson! Such a fun compliment for a DIY'er!
    My Ring- It is actually my engagement ring (center), and then my grandmother's ring guard. She passed away a few years ago and I really wanted to honor her and my grandfather who are no longer living.

    Hey eveveryone,

    More answers for you all....you are all too sweet~

    Groomsmen: Express for Men Suits, Ties are from the tie bar. The suits are a grey seersucker....I think they might still have them in stock.
    The Ring: The center stone is my engagement ring, the two outside parts are actually a ring guard that was my grandmothers.Sorry I don't have a designer for you, my husband picked the engagement ring to fit my grandmothers ring guard.
