After a year of lots of planning, and a year of collecting lots of sea biscuits, Naomi Manasala’s wedding was last night and it was perfect. She and Rob married last week in the Bahamas with a smaller group of their closest friends and relatives, arriving back here in Gainesville 24 hours before their big reception. They partied with a hundred more friends and relatives at Gainesville’s Historic Thomas Center, all decorated by Celebrations’ selecting a contemporary blend of tropical aqua, crisp white and sandy beige linens. We added some aqua accent lighting, lots of seashells and authentic sand directly from the Bahamas, hung some paper lanterns, and concocted a mango mojito for the signature beverage.
Powers Photography spent the week in the Bahamas with the wedding party, taking hours of pictures of the week long celebration and ceremony. The reception guests enjoyed a big screen viewing of a video presentation of the island ceremony, with Susan and Stewart Powers taking more photographs again last night, of the Thomas Center reception.
Here are some wedding moments captured by ME,… professional photos from the Stewarts’ coming soon!
