Orlando Florida Wedding Venue | Mariah and Zachary at The Garden Villa
THE LOW-DOWN
Mariah and Zachary held their July wedding at the beautiful Orlando, Florida wedding venue, The Garden Villa. Our team had the pleasure of working with this sweet local couple because their Just Marry! wedding planner, Ellis, is long-time friends with them. She was so honored to be part of their special day!
We thought Mariah and Zachary’s wedding color palette of blush, ivory, beige, and sage green was perfectly on-trend and perfect for a summer wedding. The soft shades were romantic and timeless, and looked wonderful in their photos! The couple held an outdoor ceremony beneath The Garden Villa’s signature gazebo followed by an indoor reception in the ballroom, where they were welcomed with a sweet champagne toast.
There were wood accents included throughout the event’s design, from the wooden ceremony gazebo and communion presentation to the wooden chandeliers in the reception space. We thought this added such a nice warmth and natural beauty to their décor. Even the touches of brown floral and the bridesmaid’s attire enhanced their chosen color palette. It all came together in a simple, yet elegant style that we loved!

WHAT WE LOVED
The Just Marry! Team so enjoyed working with Mariah and Zachary at their beautiful Orlando, Florida wedding venue, The Garden Villa! We asked their wedding planner (and friend!), Ellis, a few questions about the big day and this is what she shared:
How was the couple’s planning experience?
It was amazing! Mariah and Zachary got engaged in May and asked me to be their planner in June. I helped them plan this wedding rather quickly, which eased their stress. It was a joy helping them bring everything together!
What was something about this event that really stood out to you?
I loved the color palette and floral! It was light, bright, and perfect for summer!
What was something about the wedding day that truly touched you?
Mariah and Zack have been very close friends of mine for years! My husband was a groomsman in the wedding, too. Mariah and I got coffee together one June morning, and she asked if I would coordinate her wedding. I (of course) said yes, we hugged and cried happy tears! It was a true honor and joy to be a part of their wedding day in such a special way. I’ll cherish this memory forever!
As our team was setting up, I made my way to the bridal suite to check on the bridesmaids and Mariah. When I saw Mariah, she was already in her wedding dress. I wasn’t prepared for her to be all dressed and ready yet! I was so surprised that I was overcome with happy tears. She was a stunning bride! J Her photographer captured my reaction on camera. It was such a sweet moment!
What was the couple’s choice of first dance song?
“Sweetest Thing” by Allman Brown.
What modern or trendy elements did the couple include?
Mariah and Zachary had a beautiful greenery wall for photos. All guests took photos on a Polaroid camera and then pasted the photo in the couple’s guest book along with writing a thoughtful note. It will be such a lovely keepsake!
