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.

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 !

Going inside the barn and a kiss from a horse! {Bridle Oaks Barn} Deland, FL

So I thought I'd get you caught up on the progress of the barn today

by taking some interior shots. The inside of the barn is really

such a cool space. It's hard to see how big it is in these photos.

 I need to borrow a super wide-angle lens in order to capture it correctly. 

We also put up two copper weathervanes on top of each clear-story.

A horse and an eagle now adorn the top of our barn ! 

Speaking of horses, Falcon was being super comical today.

He put on my son's hat and he also gave my dad a big horse kiss..

LOL… Enjoy the photos! If you or anyone you know is planning a

wedding and interested in taking a tour of Bridle Oaks, please

call or email Shawna at: 386-216-2147 or shawnaeverett@gmail.com

Thanks!!

Ps. Next blog post will include photos of our new mix-matched china

which Ashley is collecting for our brides! 

                                     

Western style Birthday Party at Bridle Oaks { Bridle Oaks, Deland, FL }

My son Preston turns eight on May 1st, so we decided to 

have his party at the Bridle Oaks Barn. The kids loved

seeing the donkey, horse and our 13 new little chicks.

I noticed the girls really liked the chicks and the boys liked

the waterside better ! I guess that makes sense. We had

lots of food, a little photo booth area and some crafts for 

the kids to do. It was great fun and very nice to have a party 

like this somewhere OTHER than your own house.

Which brings me to my next point….. If you'd like

to have your own kids birthday out at Bridle Oaks Barn

 in Deland, please contact Shawna  

We look forward to having more parties there!
