THE LOW-DOWN
Julia and Drew had been writing their love story together for nearly ten years before they finally made it official in the most beautiful way possible. On a gorgeous March evening at the Omni Orlando Resort at Champions Gate, surrounded by 125 of their closest family and friends, this Central Florida couple said “I do” in a celebration that was as elegant and timeless as it was fun and full of heart. Our Just Marry! team had the absolute pleasure of serving as their Day-of wedding coordinators, and from the emotional first looks to the packed dance floor that never quit, this was one of those weddings that reminds us just how much we love what we do!
Julia and Drew exchanged their vows on the Grand Salon Patio, an elegant outdoor ceremony space that set the most romantic tone for the evening ahead. The white and greenery-forward floral arrangements were lush, classic, and absolutely stunning, perfectly complementing the couple’s sophisticated aesthetic. Julia looked breathtaking in her off-the-shoulder ivory bridal gown, and Drew looked every bit as handsome in his classic navy tuxedo with a white boutonniere. Her bridesmaids were dressed in the most gorgeous taupe satin gowns, each in their own style, and carried white rose and greenery bouquets that tied the whole look together beautifully. After the ceremony, guests moved to the Grand Salon Terrace for cocktail hour before transitioning into the Grand Salon Ballroom for the reception, which was nothing short of spectacular.
The Grand Salon Ballroom was an absolute dream. Tall floral centerpieces of white hydrangeas, roses, and lush eucalyptus sat atop sleek silver stands on crisp white linens, all accented by the ballroom’s stunning sculptural petal chandeliers overhead. Black Chiavari chairs added just the right touch of contrast and elegance, and the warm uplighting gave the whole room a soft, romantic glow. It all came together in a way that looked effortlessly chic and magazine-worthy from every angle.
One of our absolute favorite details of the entire wedding was the table numbers. Since Julia and Drew had been together for nearly ten years before tying the knot, they used photos of themselves at each corresponding age as their table numbers, so table one featured a photo of them as one-year-olds, table two at age two, and so on. It was such a creative, personal, and adorable touch that guests absolutely loved hunting down their tables to see the photos. We love when couples find ways to tell their love story through the little details, and this one was truly one for the books!

WHAT WE LOVED
The Just Marry! team absolutely loved being a part of Julia and Drew’s elegant white and green wedding at the Omni Orlando Resort! We asked their wedding coordinator, Jordan, a few questions about their big day and here is what she shared:
What was something you did during the couples’ planning or on their wedding day that “saved the day”?
Julia and Drew had been together for nearly ten years before their big day, so they really wanted their wedding to feel like the ultimate celebration of everything they had built together. They knew they wanted to incorporate fun, interactive elements for their guests but weren’t quite sure where to start, so I suggested a candy bar and helped them brainstorm ways to bring it to life. Once I pitched the idea, they absolutely ran with it and made it completely their own, and it ended up being one of the biggest hits of the night! Watching guests of all ages light up at that candy bar was honestly so fun, and it was the perfect little personal touch that kept the celebratory energy going all evening long!
What was something about this event that really stood out to you and made it different?
One thing that really set this reception apart was that Julia and Drew opened up the song requests to their guests all night long, and let me tell you, it made for the most incredible party atmosphere! It was truly one of those receptions where you could feel how much fun everyone was having, and that energy was completely contagious!
