Hi!

Romantic blush tones, a personalized dog figurine on their cake, and a choreographed bridesmaids dance to surprise the newlyweds. These are just a few of the things that made Rebecca and Matt’s wedding at The Manor at 12 Oaks so special. Rebecca and Matt’s spring wedding was perfect in every way, and we are so excited to share it here on the blog! 

First of all, can we talk about this venue for a minute?! The Manor at 12 Oaks is located in Green Cove Springs, Florida, and it is the perfect place to host your wedding in the Jacksonville or St Augustine area. The Manor at 12 Oaks is spacious, beyond beautiful, and totally tucked away from the hustle and bustle of the city. Also, any venue that gives you a golf cart to drive around in for your photos gets an A+ in our book! Haha! 

Speaking of the venue, check out this awesome floral wall in the bridal suite! We had a blast taking photos of sweet Rebecca and her girls in front of this backdrop!

Rebecca had all of her favorite ladies help her into her wedding dress. We love when brides include their close family members into these special moments.

Rebecca and Matt also wrote personal vows to each other and exchanged them during their first look. How sweet is that?!

If you know us well, you know we are huge dog people, so we LOVED this personalized figurine Rebecca had made to include their dog, Zoe into their wedding day.

Rebecca’s bridesmaids all got together and surprised her and Matt with a choreographed dance to a mix of songs like “shake it off”. It was SO much fun to watch and photograph!

And the night ended with another beautiful sparkler exit. No matter how many times we almost get burnt with sparklers, we will always love this type of exit. It just doesn’t get much more romantic than this!
