A Glamorous Southern Wedding, Brunswick Georgia

  • June 26, 2017

Like the old wives tale goes, rain is good luck on your wedding day! Well, it was definitely good luck on Brooke and Chance’s wedding day and what a Glamorous Southern wedding it was!

It must have been good luck from the very beginning with these two, not only did it rain on their wedding day, it also rained the day Chance proposed to Brooke…God always has a funny way of “winking” at us through signs and moments, doesn’t he?!

I actually love the fact that it rained on their wedding day, because of this very reason… not that I wanted it to rain the whole time or even rain at all (due to the circumstances of the entire wedding being that both the Ceremony and the Reception was outside for about 253 guests) But again, God winked and the rained cleared up, J u s t  i n   t h e   n i c   o f   t i m e!  Literally, it stopped raining on time, but in the world of of the Gonzalez’s, on time is early, and 20 minutes late, is right on time (love you guys though)!!! Mom saved the day, needing to run out to have one more sip of champagne and gloss her lips. I swear I felt like I was on another reality TV episode!

And the first chapter starts like this…

In late summer of 2005, we were all enjoying the last few weeks of our summer vacation before the beginning of High School. Chance had just moved to my hometown of Brunswick, Georgia from his home in Tom’s River, New Jersey. My friends and I had made plans to go see a movie with some guy friends we had that would be attending a different High School. When I arrived at the movie theatre, my eyes caught the attention of a very good-looking new guy in the group, and I caught his attention as well. After introductions, and a fun night with friends, we exchanged contact information and hung out a few times. Although the timing would not be right until October of 2009, we kept in contact and remained friends even though we both dated other people in the meantime.

One night in the fall of my freshman year at college, I decided to contact Chance and see how he was doing. On October 20, 2009, Chance and I had our first date. We would go on several more dates before finally making it official on November 4, 2009. The next 6 years and 9 months would be filled with love, laughter, and even a few tears. We went through our first year of college, a break-up, getting back together, a long distance relationship when I moved 3 hours away to go to college, and many more trying times throughout our relationship. No matter where life took us or how long it took us to get where we are, we wouldn’t trade one moment of this crazy ride we have been on. Our relationship was built on the most solid foundation of trust, faith, and love for each other.

The Second Chapter: The Proposal

When he proposed, he planned a secret romantic candlelit dinner on the beach in Jamaica. A few hours before our reservation, he told me we had dinner plans, which I didn’t believe at first because we couldn’t get reservations anywhere that week! We got ready, and he walked me over to a beautiful table on the beach with candles and rose petals, and our server handed us personalized menus that had our names on them. After dinner, it started to rain, so we ran to a nearby shelter and decided to go back to the room. On the way to the room, he stopped me, in the pouring rain, and asked “You know I love you, right?” And when I turned to look at him, he was down on one knee asking me to marry him.

The Third Chapter: Brooke + Chance’s Glamorous Southern Wedding

There wedding encompassed lush blooms, custom monogramed floral glassware, candle glassware, and SIX CHANDELIERS, four of which has 14 karat gold and rose gold real foliage all hand painted. We love customizing tiny details to make each wedding personable and unique. Brooke always had a thing for Monograms, and well…she loved this little touch we added in for her.

    Emily and her staff were AMAZING! If you're looking for someone who is easy to work with, knows their stuff, and puts in 110% throughout the entire process, she's your girl! My main goal was to keep my wedding as stress-free as possible... which sounds impossible, especially when fashion and decorating aren't your thing. However, after the first time I spoke with Emily, I knew I had nothing to worry about. The way she gets to know you and your idea of the perfect wedding is so convenient. It was as easy as sharing my wedding Pinterest board, a few emails, and a few phone conversations, and VOILA! My wedding was even more beautiful that I had ever imagined! She was able to roll with the punches, be flexible with my changing and adding of ideas, and stay excited and positive throughout the entire process. Not many florist/decor professionals would be happy to carve pumpkins to use for floral arrangements - nor would they take extra time to go to the venue, take a look around, and make adjustments to the initial plan to go better with the landscape. She's amazing! My wedding would haven't been the same without her, and I will be forever grateful for my friend's mom who recommended her to me!

    It is hard to describe in words the amazing job Emily Burton and her company Emily Burton Designs did to bring my wedding vision to life. As a customer, I was beyond thrilled with Emily's work. As someone with no event designing experience, I was blown away by the talent that Emily Burton Designs offers. First and foremost, Emily is a wonderful, professional person to work with. Upon our first meeting, she really listened to what I wanted and helped guide me toward ideas that were out of the box and ahead of the trends. Emily produced (in my opinion), the most beautiful, picturesque wedding reception imaginable. Upon my arrival at the reception, I noticed certain details executed that I had offhandedly emailed to Emily over the course of my one year wedding planning timeframe.

    Emily was great to work with from the initial phone call, to the walk through and finally the wedding! What I loved most about Emily and her team were that they were able to take my vision and create my dream wedding which wasn't easy since I asked for a winter glam wedding meets the twilight saga wedding :). I also had a last minute ceremony venue change and Emily was more then happy to change details to coordinate with the new space. I completely trusted Emily and on top of that, she is an extremely sweet person! All of the bouquets were beautiful!!! She really captured everything I had wanted. Her team went above and beyond and collected everything for me at the end of the night and brought it all to the bridal suite. I would highly recommend her!

    Emily Burton Designs is AMAZING!!! Emily was my absolute favorite vendor of all the vendors that I used for my wedding. It feels weird calling her a vendor because I truly feel like I have made a friend for life. From the very beginning of the process, Emily was awesome. My wedding was out of town and I needed someone who could handle florals as well as overall design and decor. I interviewed three other "design teams" and Emily was the only one who was willing to work within my budget. The others kept telling me that my "taste was too expensive for my budget". Emily, however, worked with me and suggested less expensive flowers or decor that would still be beautiful. I am not the typical bride in that I did not have a folder or Pinterest page of wedding ideas. Emily was sooo patient and helped me develop my overall theme. I even changed my wedding colors halfway through and she never got frustrated with me. She was truly amazing. Emily was the one vendor that I totally and completely trusted. My wedding was supposed to be outside; however, when the forecast started to predict rain, Emily went to my backup indoor venue room for me since I was out of town!!! She calmly called me and already had ideas for decorating the indoor backup room which turned out perfect! Just before the wedding Emily revealed the reception room to me and I literally cried!!! It was BEYOND AMAZING AND OVER THE TOP!!! She totally took everything that I said I wanted and made it absolutely breathtaking! Everyone is still talking about how beautiful the flowers and decor were. Working with Emily Burton Designs has been the highlight of my whole wedding planning process. She is professional, totally gifted, and tons of fun! All of my friends commented that I seemed so relaxed before the wedding. And, I was because I totally trusted Emily. I knew it would be beautiful....and it was!!!
