One Love, One Heart, One Destiny: The Stunning Wedding Of Destiny And Noel

Pre-winter weddings are one of our favorites, and by that, we don’t mean autumn weddings (fall weddings). When we say “pre-winter weddings” what we mean is the weddings during the transitional phase, when it is almost winter but not yet. If that is a little too confusing for you to follow,  then worry not, Density and Noel’s wedding is exactly what we love. The couple chose the perfect time to tie the knot, enjoying the pre-winter flavors paired with the quaint beauty of late autumn, the couple couldn’t have asked for a prettier time! The Jacksonville couple tied the knot in one of the most beautiful and unique wedding venues in Jacksonville, the Old Florida Museum. The minimal late autumn wedding took place dressed in beautiful velvet red, white, and brown, and filled with laughter shared by everybody present to see Destiny and Noel tie the knot and start their happily ever after! On October 23rd, 2021, Destiny and Noel couldn’t wait for the day to unfold, and start the day's celebrations. If they could, the two would have used magical spells to speed up the hands of the clock, so that they could get to the best part of their day.

Before we talk about the couple’s day and how the day unfolded with happy smiles plastered on the face of everyone present, let’s talk about the delicate wedding decor. What we loved the most about Destiny and Noel’s wedding was that it was dressed in some of the best colors and was completely in sync with the season. The velvet deep red runners, beige curtains, and charming floral details added a graceful touch to their minimal wedding. The tables for wedding guests had a beautiful place card with a small key and a label, which thanked the guests for being a “key” part of their celebration. The sweetheart table for the couple had a cursive “Mr. & Mrs.” sign in gold. The white sweetheart table was decorated with beautiful greenery woven with deep red and white flowers. The floral details on the sweetheart table, from a distance, looked like hollies sitting with white flowers. The doors of the wedding venue were decorated with greenery runners, making the entire space look lively and just perfect for the season. The couple had chosen a spot outdoors to tie the knot. Noel and Destiny had chosen the outdoor raised pavilion with a wooden background. To make the outdoor ceremony perfect the couple had picked out a brilliant wooden arbor with velvet red fabric runner. The sides of the outdoor arbor were decorated with similar floral arrangements. However, the floral details for the ceremony were larger than the table decorations and had some extra colors. The outdoor ceremony was made perfect with bigger white and red roses, and some smaller yellow flowers. And all of these flowers were beautifully tied into myrtle leaves as filler greenery! The minimal decor for the outdoor wedding ceremony was perfect and was just right for the minimal wedding the couple had planned ahead. The bridal and bridesmaids’ bouquets shared a similarity, but also very obvious differences. The bridal bouquet was larger, with more flowers and greenery. The autumn-inspired wedding bouquet was made of lighter shades paired with some smaller flowers in deeper colors. To make her bridal bouquet complete, she picked out some beautiful myrtle leaves and ornamental leaves as well! The bridesmaids’ bouquets were similar, except for the deeper shades. These bouquets were big on the white flowers. To finish the look of the beautiful bridesmaids’ bouquets, Destiny had decided to add powder pink satin ribbons to tie the bouquets. The ribbons made the bridesmaids' bouquets look just perfect and exceptionally photographable! 

Now that we’re done going crazy over the winter-flavored late autumn wedding details, let’s talk about the wedding! The couple had decided to have a traditional, no-first-look wedding. The couple decided to get dressed in separate dressing rooms. The girls started their pre-wedding celebrations together, with a customary bottle of flavored drink! The groom and his groomsmen sat down with a cigar, talking and bonding. The groom was also accompanied by his father, who had a big bright smile on his face. For the day, Noel had decided to go for a blue wedding suit with some sheen to it. The groom, groomsmen, and the father of the groom had chosen a classy three-piece suit to wear for the day, making them look alike. All of them put on their blue suits, with a red tie. As the groom began to dress up, his father helped him put on his vest. Caressing the shoulders of his son, the father of the groom smiled. Before the groom stepped out, he stood in front of our wedding photographer to take a photo of him before we left his dressing room and made his way down to the altar to wait for his soulmate to join him. As the groom was posing for some photos before reaching the outdoor wedding ceremony location at the venue, the girls were enjoying their time together. 

Smiling and laughing, the girls posed for some adorable getting-ready photos in their light pink satin gowns! Destiny was, however, dressed in a white satin getting-ready outfit, making her look different and befitting a beautiful soon-to-be-married. The girls wanted to look absolutely stunning for their getting-ready photos, so they got dressed in their outfits before slipping into bridesmaids’ dresses and putting on natural make-up for the photos before they got dressed and decked up for the day! As the girls popped open a bottle of Giambellino Peach Bellini to enjoy the time and create some memories before Destiny tied the knot. The girls sat down, and chatted a little, even the grandmothers joined in with happy smiles and chuckles. As they sat around talking, Destiny smiled, looking at our wedding photographer, looking absolutely stunning and content with the scene in front of her. For the wedding, Destiny picked out a princess-style wedding dress. The wedding dress had delicate straps, almost invisible, stuck onto a beautiful sweetheart-style neckline. As the girls were enjoying each other’s company, our wedding photographer took some bridal detail photos. The wedding ring was placed on a flower. Density walked over to the table, where she placed a hand on the table, marveling at the details. She was happy. She stood there for a while, looking around the room with a smile on her face. As the time for the wedding ceremony approached, the bridesmaids and the bride got dressed. Matching the early winter vibe, the bridesmaids dressed in burgundy dresses, looking pretty. Destiny put on her dress and paired it with a beautiful medium-length bridal veil.

After she was dressed, Destiny quietly stepped out of the dressing room to meet her father. Looking at his daughter in her wedding dress, the father of the bride, also dressed as the groom and his groomsmen, smiled and gave his daughter a big bear hug, his eyes shining with happiness and some happy tears. The bridal party ushered the beautiful bride outdoors. The flower girls took their pretty baskets and the bridesmaids helped in handling the wedding dress’ train. With hushed whispers, the bride entered the ceremony location, arm-in-arm with her father. The walk down the aisle with her father was accompanied by soft gasps, and murmurs of how beautiful Destiny looked and how Destiny and Noel were destined to be together. As she walked past the wedding guests, Noel at the altar could not wait for her. Shifting his weight slowly to either side, he waited with a bright smile, eyes only on Destiny. When she reached the altar, Noel reached out to Destiny and helped her onto the outdoor altar. Smiling at each other, the two held hands as they went through the ceremony, softly smiling at each other. Exchanging rings, and taking their love-filled vows, they sealed the wedding ceremony with a kiss. Breaking away from the kiss, looking at each other the two smiled, and turned to walk down the aisle as a newly married couple. Holding hands, smiling, and laughing the two looked full of promises, hopes, and excitement for the new journey they embarked on. 

As the guests dispersed for a break before the reception party, the couple, their friends, and family stayed for some wedding group photos. Before our photographer got a chance to take couple portraits, they had the bridesmaids and groomsmen surround the couple for photos. The bridesmaids climbed up on the make-shift altar outside and posed in front of the delicate arbor. The bridesmaids and the bride had their bouquets in front of them as they posed. The groom and the groomsmen joked around as they had some photos taken. The couple posed with their family with bright smiles. As the bride was getting ready to take some photos, our photographer took a handsome portrait of the groom. Destiny smiled when she saw Noel pose, she walked up to him and gently stroked his arm as she discussed the poses they’d be striking for the portraits. Before that, our photographer took a photo of the bride with her flower girls. Destiny hugged them close, the younger one of the flower girls’ was enveloped in the bride’s frills, and that made her giggle. 

After that, the couple joined our photographer for a great post-wedding ceremony photo shoot! The two found the best spots in the venue to pose for their photos. Right before the photo shoot, Noel found a red flower that he liked and used it as a boutonniere. The venue’s barn-like architecture and natural abundance added to the photo's beauty. Finding a small walkover bridge, the two stood there, next to each other, and posed for a photo with sunlight streaming through the trees in the background. The two walked down the small bridge and snuggled closer for romantic couple photos. The two enjoyed striking different kinds of poses. Before moving on to the getaway car, Noel pulled Destiny close and slightly leaned into her. Getting the hint, Destiny lifted her bridal bouquet over her head and leaned back, as Noel held onto her. Our wedding photographer took the photo and was amazed that the couple was well-coordinated. Before leaving, Noel suggested taking a photo of their wedding bands only. The two placed their hands on the bridal bouquet and let our photographer work their charm. Walking to their wedding getaway car, the two posed for solo photos, looking happy. As Noel got into the passenger seat and Destiny took the wheel of the blue vintage car Noel cracked a joke making Destiny laugh. Then he leaned in and stole a kiss, giving our photographer a great photo of the couple! 

As the couple started making their way back to the reception party venue, they found a pretty wooden swing along the way. Destiny sat down on it and ruffled her dress skirt to make it all pretty. Placing her wedding bouquet in the center, looked up at Noel, who leaned forward. As she candidly reached out to hold his face, our photographer took a photo of the two. Noel couldn’t resist the urge to sit down next to his wife on the swing and smiled for a few more photos. Then the two made their way to the reception party. As the couple made their entrance to the venue, the wedding guests clapped, welcoming the newlyweds! Destiny and Noel held hands as they walked to the dance floor. The lights dimmed and their song started playing. Their first dance was just as romantic as everything else during their wedding, vibrant, youthful, and fun. Dancing with their parents after the first dance, the couple opened the floor for their wedding guests to enjoy. Taking their place at the sweetheart table, they enjoyed the night surrounded by friends and family. As the night progressed, the two laughed at old memories shared with guests and friends, burst out in laughter as the best man and the maid of honor gave a great speech, and then got up to have the cake-cutting ceremony. The two walked together to the cake station, which was decorated with festive decorations. Next to the minimal wedding cake was a cupcake tower for the guests to take a piece of dessert whenever they wanted. The two-tier white wedding cake was decorated with white, blue, and white decorative flowers. As the couple cut the cake, the wedding guests clapped and yelled congratulations to the happy couple. With that, the couple went back to their sweetheart table, smiling at each other and their friends. Watching Destiny and Noel enjoy every moment of their wedding was not only a pleasure but a joyous experience. The two were truly destined for each other. Their wedding reminded us of a brilliant quote by Robert Marley, “One love, one heart, one destiny.”
