A Neutral Wedding with Rustic Accents at Bentley's on the Bay in Santa Rosa Beach, Florida

Alexandra Cowley ( 25, a news anchor) and Lucas Corey (26, a national account coordinator at Insight Global) had a neutral colored wedding in Santa Rosa Beach, Florida with rustic accents. “My husband and I both love the country. We wore our cowboy boots for some pictures and wanted everything to look natural and warm,” says Alexandra. Her and Lucas met through his cousin in Tallahassee at Florida State University. When it was time to propose, Lucas told Alexandra they were going to a friend’s wedding in Nantucket. “Lucas asked a stranger to take a picture of us. That's when he got down on one knee,” says Alexandra. They were wed one year later near Destin, Florida, where the couple spent one of their first weekend getaways. Both the white chapel in Seaside, Florida, and their reception at Bentley's on the Bay in Santa Rosa Beach were decorated with neutral tones. White hydrangeas and baby’s breath were placed along their ceremony aisle, in the bridal party’s bouquets, the men’s boutonnieres and their reception centerpieces. During the dockside reception, Alexandra and Lucas’s white decor was accented with candles and rustic elements. “We had hay barrels for our guests to sit on at the end of the dock at our venue and beautiful cafe lights were strung over the deck where our guests sat and danced,” says Alexandra. Acknowledging how they met, the FSU fight song was played during their reception.
