Heather + Carson’s Florida wedding made our jaws drop for a sec when we first saw it. Which is the same way these lovebirds felt when they first toured The Ringling Museum of Art Courtyard. Between the dramatic architecture, Greek and Roman-style statues, and the museum’s art collection that guests could view during cocktail hour, it was the obvious venue choice for their formal yet fun soiree. And thanks to Kallima Photography, we can ooh and ahh over this stunning affair all we want.

We’re waaayy into these Adriana Papell gowns. Those are the kind of bridesmaids dresses you’d be guaranteed to wear again.

A harpist played “Here Comes the Bride” when Heather walked down the aisle and “This Year’s Love” by David Gray for the processional.

Heather says, We went for romantic, traditional yet modern, glam, and most importantly, fun. It was really important to us that all of our guests have a great time, and we really wanted everyone out on the dance floor all night. We also wanted a style we could look back on in 30 years and still appreciate.
