Bella Collina: Alicia & Dustin’s Classic Wedding

Join us in reliving the gorgeous classic wedding of Alicia and Dustin, held on November 9th, 2019. The ceremony took us to the First Presbyterian Church in Downtown Orlando, and the reception brought us all the way up to Bella Collina. Every detail, from the chandelier hanging over the outdoor reception, to the coordinated transportation from each venue to the next, reflected the classy and classic vibe of this autumn wedding. Thanks to the fabulous photography of Black and Hue, we’re happy to share their day with you!

The day began for our bride and groom by getting ready with their wedding party. Dustin and the gentlemen got ready separately in their classic black tuxes and bow ties. Meanwhile, Alicia and her bridesmaids had hair and makeup done masterfully by LeJeune Artistry. The ladies enjoyed some bubbly while getting ready in matching lacy robes. Once everyone was ready to go, the ladies hopped into a party bus provided by Party Bus VIP, which transported them to First Presbyterian Church in Orlando. Once arrived, Alicia got dressed in her gorgeous strapless gown.

Once guests had arrived and filled the pews, the ceremony began! Alicia walked down the aisle to Dustin, where they shared vows, exchanged rings, and were pronounced husband and wife. They sealed their new titles with a kiss, followed by a dramatic dip halfway back down the aisle.

Following the ceremony, the bride and groom met with their wedding party to capture some quick photos together. They then hopped back on the party bus to be transported up to Bella Collina. Once arrived, the full wedding party took a few classy photos around the grounds, followed by a portrait session for the bride and groom.

As guests arrived at Bella Collina, they were greeted by a gorgeous mirror welcome sign, as well as the guestbook table. While they signed the guestbook, they took in the tribute to loved ones who had passed, displayed from a tree in a thoughtful touch. We loved the touch of greenery in the shape of an ‘R’ on the reflecting pool. As guests enjoyed the cocktail hour, Bella Collina served passed h’ors d’eouvres.

Meanwhile, the lawn of Bella Collina was prepared for the outdoor reception. Tables were set with linens from Over the Top, and topped with beautifully simple centerpieces from Flowers by Lesley. Above it all hung a gorgeous chandelier, set by Get Lit Productions. We loved Alicia and Dustin’s choice of a fun donut “cake”, with a simple one-tier cake on top.

The reception began with introductions of the wedding party, done by the band, the Leonard Brothers. Alicia and Dustin were introduced for the first time as husband and wife, then shared their first dance under the glow of the chandelier. They then shared parent dances, followed by heartfelt toasts from their loved ones. As dinner was served, their parents shared a dance on the floor as well.

After cutting the cake, the night was all about dancing! The Leonard Brothers led everyone in a fabulous night of fun, with some surprise guest appearances by the bride and groom themselves. The night came to a close with a beautiful sparkler exit to send off the bride and groom.

The night ended with the bride and groom taking off on their getaway vehicle – a fire truck! It was even decorated at the back for the happy couple.

The day of the wedding, she made sure everything was taken care of, resulting in a stress-free day for everyone in the bridal party including the parents of the bride and groom. She ensured everything ran smoothly and according to the timeline and did an amazing job of getting everyone set up for our grand sparkler exit. We know our wedding would not have been as perfect as it was without Christy's help, and we are so glad we hired her!

Heather

Christy is an incredible wedding planner! I loved her wedding day timeline. She organized all of my vendors, and made sure everything about the wedding day ran smoothly, on time and stress/worry free. I couldn't have even imagined my day would have turned out as perfect as it did. Thank you so much Christy! If you are even remotely considering hiring a planner to help you with part of or all of your wedding...DO IT! And pick Anna Christine Events, her and her sister Laura are THE BEST!

Michelle

Christy was a fantastic wedding coordinator! I absolutely loved working with her. I was looking for a day of coordinator because I was already planning my wedding and really wanted someone to just take over for the last month. I chose the package where I could call/email her if I had any questions leading up to the wedding and it came in handy. The package was affordable and what we were looking for. When we spoke on the phone I instantly knew I wanted to book her because she has a very calm demeanor. I have spoken to other wedding planners and some of them were so high strung it was stressing me out just talking to them! I passed off everything to her month of and everything went off without a hitch. Anytime we needed anything during the wedding she was right there waiting for us and willing to help. I can’t recommend her enough!

Samantha

There are not enough words to express our gratitude towards Christy! She is beyond amazing and was made to be a wedding coordinator! Her ability to adapt and come up with solutions that make everyone happy is a true gift. She was my therapist and knew exactly how to decrease my stress and anxiety. Christy and her sister Laura truly made our day magical and allowed us to enjoy it!

Tiffany

I cannot say enough good things about Christy, Laura, and their team. We had some challenges at our wedding (guests, weather, etc) and they handled it all like champs and kept the party going. I had day of services and felt comfortable handing everything over and knowing it was in good hands. I'm grateful they were there and I would recommend them to anyone.

Shannon

We had the pleasure of having Laura as our Day Of Coordinator for our wedding at Casa Feliz. Laura knows her stuff, not to mention this venue. She's BEYOND sweet and always looking out for the bride and groom on their day. If something needed to be changed around, it was always a smooth transition. There is not a single issue we can think of that happened on the wedding day, nor during the wedding planning process. Laura kept in contact with every single vendor, not to mention a last minute vendor we brought on board less than a week from the wedding day. EVERYTHING was perfect, we will never forget this day! I highly recommend both Laura and Christy they are fantastic ladies!

Starr

Christy was amazing from start to finish. We brought on a planner part way through planning and she geared us in the right direction from the start. She listened and understood our vision. She worked to make the wedding exactly what we wanted. And even when we hit a snag with our venue, Christy guided us through what would have been a super stressful time, to the perfect event.
