Linens and More.. {Bridle Oaks Barn} {Central Florida Barn Venue}

Alight Folks, this will be the last post from our stylized shoot.

This one features the linens from Lynn at

Linens and More  and table design from Ashley,  our day-of coordinator

 and all around amazing decorator.  She designed and decorated 

this table for our shoot. The flowers are from Julia at Julia's Floral Design

It's always good to have vendors close to our venue, and all these

ladies are in Deland. Lynn offers free pickup and delivery of all

linens for your wedding at Bridle Oaks. Ashley will help

you organize, decorate, take down and most importantly, 

keep your wedding running on time and help to move

your guests to the areas where they are needed. The worst thing is cutting

your cake with no one around because they are wandering 

all over the property ! Keep things organized on on track with 

our day-of coordinator, it will be the best decision you will make! 

Here, also are some extra photos from our shoot by the 

talented Alice of Alice's Art Gallery…

Amazing….Bliss Pastry ! {Deland wedding cakes} { Bridle Oaks Barn}

I can't believe I found this little hidden gem right in

my own home town! Kristin is the baker and ultimate

cake maker at Bliss Pastry,  which she owns in Deland, FL

Her cakes are just stunning. There is no other word! 

I am SO excited to use her out at Bridle Oaks. I hope

every. single. bride. 

uses her to create and design a cake of their 

D R E A M S

Please check out her cakes here at her website…

http://www.blisspastry.com

She was a wonderfully easy person to work with,

and here are some photos of the cake she designed

for our "romantic and Southern" themed shoot last week.

If your getting married… call Kristin NOW !! 

(oh, and PS… those flowers were handmade by her. They are not silk)

These are some of her cakes from her website…

Hair and Makeup with Nichole! {Bridle Oaks Barn} {Deland}

One of the best things about doing a photo shoot is

getting hair and makeup done! This is such an important

part of looking great for the camera. Nichole Robins  is 

the master of knowing exactly how to create a face that will

shine and look truly special for your special day. She works 

all over the place for TV, commercials, Disney, etc.  I can't imagine

NOT doing my hair and makeup for my wedding day.

Luckily, here at Bridle Oaks, we have one of the best in the area.

So excited to show you these beautiful photographs (by AAG)

 that show off Nichole's beautiful work ! 

Please contact her via  facebook to schedule

a consultation for your wedding day or just to say Hello! 

Julia's Floral Design at Bridle Oaks Barn {Deland Florist} {Julia's Floral Design}

Ok… How to contain myself…

Been wanting to post this since we did our 

stylized shoot ! I was recommended to use Julia, of Julia's Floral Design 

from a friend in the wedding industry, and a fellow Deland resident.

I can't tell you how happy I am to know her and to have found her. 

I only wish I could use her exclusively for our brides! (maybe someday)

She did a STUNNING job on the flowers for our shoot and she was

incredibly generous, patient and worked so hard for us. I can't

say enough good about Julia and my experience with her. She is a 

true talent and gem in this industry, and I wholly recommend her 

for any bride who gets married at Bridle Oaks, or anywhere! 

C'mon ya'll…. she used artichokes in an arrangement !!

How cool is that! 

The bouquet was absolutely gorgeous, so romantic and Southern,

which is exactly the look we were going for. 

And the table centerpiece….. AH!!

She put it on a pedestal ! So pretty… 

Anyway, Julia's amazing, !!  Enjoy looking at the rest of the photos. 

All photos taken by Alice! of Alice's Art Gallery

Bridle Oaks first stylized shoot featuring photography by Alice's Art Gallery [AAG} {Deland}

I'm so excited to share with you the first glimpse of

some great photography from  Bridle Oaks Barn. 

Alyssa, (aka. Alice) of Alice's Art Gallery AAG, of Deland, FL

did a fantastic job capturing so many sweet moments at

our shoot. We had Falcon all dressed up in some beautiful 

florals from Julia's Floral Design ! (also from Deland, FL)

**More on those flowers plus many other incredible arrangements

coming up later in the week. For now I'll share just a few amazing

photos from our shoot. It was so nice to put the photography job

into someone else's hands…. but the best part was how easy Alice made it.

She was accommodating, generous with her time, easy to work with,

and as shown here, did a beautiful job!  I urge anyone who would

like to capture a special person or event to contact her.

You can contact her on FB at Alice's Art Gallery.

Thanks for looking, and more coming up in a few days!

Our doors have been built and installed ! { Bridle Oaks barn} {Deland}

Ok, I told you guys I had a little surprise today…. Our double

doors were set up today that the bride will walk through on the

way to the altar !! We also landscaped a large area

behind and around them. It all looks so pretty.

 They are customizable in several spots. Up top you

could hang a flower garland, fabric or paint a quote on wood. 

You could even put tiny white lights on them. The possibilities are

endless! We've been so busy this week. 

OH !!  One more thing…..

 ! WE PASSED OUR FINAL INSPECTION ! 

What a great weekend it's going to be...

Have a good one ! 

The Concrete truck arrived….. FINALLY ! { Bridle Oaks Barn}

I've been hearing about this infamous concrete truck that was

going to make a visit to our property for two months now. 

It was time to pour the final slabs and also the exterior 

D A N C E   F L O O R ! 

Well, they finally made it and all looks great! 

Now we can finish so many things that the concrete

truck would've ran over … ( like landscaping!)

Bridle Oaks is really coming along nicely...

We have booked 12 weddings now, and 3 other events. 

So much happens every day that it's been hard to find the time

to blog. Monday we have a very exciting day.

Our very first stylized shoot happening in the afternoon.

You will hear about this for sure, here on the blog, soon after.

We have almost four hundred likes on the FB page.

If you haven't "liked" it yet, please do so ! 

(That is…. if you like it.)

See you again soon !
