"Summer Time Fine"
Mr. Brandon & Mrs. Shontae Hinnant
of Georgia; had a fun wedding theme, lots of love, and heartfelt emotions. The Bride bright and fresh aqua blue and coral colors were infused throughout her wedding!
Brandon & Shontae's destination wedding took place in "Wilson Rose Garden" located in North Carolina. The beautiful blushing bride Shontae and her groom Brandon said, "I DO" surrounded by close friends and family.
The Engagement
Shontae & Brandon marriage proposal took place on a cool winter day last year; February 2, 2013. A day celebrating their daughter's birthday; turned into a beautiful proposal!
The Marriage Proposal
The couple were attending their youngest daughter's second birthday party. It was a fun and eventful day for the two of them! During the party Shontae & Brandon were kidding around doing "old school" poses; in the mist of all the excitement he asked for her hand in marriage!
Pre - Wedding Celebration
During the engagement the bride held a pre-wedding celebration with 2 close family members. Shontae had a very intimate bridal Luncheon with my cousin Nyesha Alston and mother Cathy Lucas. They talked, laughed and cried together, enjoyed some delicious food, and and delightful strawberry cake!
Wedding Theme & Inspiration
This beautiful couple had a fun and playful summer theme, called "Summer Time Fine"! The couple chose cool and crisp wedding colors aqua blue, and coral.
The inspiration for the couple's wedding day developed from their "Summer Time Fine" theme. The bright and sunny long summer days.
Something also magical happened about one hour before the wedding ceremony. It rained briefly, around noon, and then the sun came shining brighter than ever!
Special Moments from the Bride
Bride (Shontae) says,
"The morning of our wedding day the most special and magical moment for me wasn't putting on my dress or looking at myself all dressed up; it was hours before that took place. My God father Dia Daniels, pulled up that morning to see me on my big day; only days after being out of the hospital from a complex high risk surgery of the lungs . I was so happy and sad all at the same time. Because it hurt to see him in pain, but the smile on his face made it worth it."
Special Wedding Highlights
The highlight of Shontae's day was seeing Brandon, grandmother, and Wedding Officiant all standing waiting for her as she made her grand entrance!
