Welcome to one of Central Florida’s newest locations to get married, Acres of Grace Family Farms wedding venue in Howey-in-the-Hills! This wedding venue is also a working farm and orchard that has peach trees. I didn’t know until I visited Acres of Grace that peach trees have light pink blossoms in the spring! Everything you see in this blog is themed around these beautiful blossoms.

Each wedding vendor that put their time and talent towards this incredible celebration of marriage should receive a standing ovation! First off, I cannot stop looking at this gorgeous invitation suite designed by Julia with After a While Crocodile specifically painted for Acres of Grace Family Farms wedding venue! Julia painted the wedding arch on this invitation from a photo she had!

I couldn’t think of a better spot to hang the bride’s dress than in the peach blossoms!

Madison of Mindset Makeup did an incredible job on Rayna’s hair and makeup! Here’s a bit of advice for couples getting married: figure out what style/feel you like for any given part of your wedding, find a wedding professional whose work fits that style, share your vision with them and then let them loose to work their creative magic! One person that can help immensely with that is a wedding planner like Autumn with Serenity Events. For a memorable and seamless wedding with a peaceful planning process, Autumn is your go-to-wedding planner!

Acres of Grace has an air conditioned suite for the bride to get ready in, bathrooms, as well as a kitchen! This is where Madison did Rayna’s hair and makeup!

Here’s Rayna herself, all smiles and laughter!

Wedding Ceremony at Acres of Grace Family Farms

Here’s Logan, waiting for his bride under the most spectacular floral installation by Sara and Chelsea at Lily’s Flower Shop.

I love how excited Logan is when he sees Rayna!

The exchange of wedding rings…

… and a sweet prayer.

You may now kiss the bride!

I now pronounce you husband and wife! I LOVE the look on Logan’s face as he points to Rayna!

It seriously does my own marriage good to be around newly weds. These two have SO much fun together.

Wedding Reception Amidst Peach Blossoms

Here in Florida, February is the perfect time to be outside in nature. And when the peach blossoms are in full bloom, why not seat all your guests in the orchard? This incredible tablescape was set up by Crystal Event Rentals and Design with the centerpiece by Lily’s Flower Shop. While Acres of Grace Family Farms has these beautiful farm tables and chairs, anything above and beyond that you might want for your wedding like candles and candlesticks, runners, napkins, dinnerware, draping for your ceremony site and not want to purchase or set up yourself can be provided for you through a rental company. Shelby and her crew are experts at bringing everything in and setting it up for you.

This centerpiece is just swoon-worthy!

Of course we had to do photos of the bride and groom with this beautiful table!

I think this is one of my favorite photos with the peach blossoms on either side of Rayna and Logan!

One of my friends who saw these photos hit the nail on the head; Rayna and Logan have so. much. chemistry!

Fun mingled with sweet tenderness

This incredible tux is from It Suits Me in Lake Mary. Laurence and his staff have just about any tux or suit with all the accessories you can think of right in their shop!

That Sara at Lily’s Flowers was able to put together all these bouquets the day after Valentine’s Day is just incredible to me! Seriously one of THE BUSIEST weeks for a florist!

One of my favorite things to do when taking groom portraits is to make sure the bride stays close by. You’ll always get a genuine smile from him that way! Though I must say that Logan needed no help with his ever ready smile.

Cheers!

Wedding Cake Cutting in the Peach Orchard at Acres of Grace Family Farms

Ok now can we please talk about this wedding cake?!?! I literally told Bell over at Bell’s Cake House that when we have our vow renewal (if we ever actually do one), I want her to do our cake! The way she “painted” the frosting on, designed the swirling pattern complete with gold flecks is just out of this world!

Another thing you can have Crystal Event Rentals and Design bring are these triangle “arches”. They make a perfect ceremony backdrop or anything else you can dream up!

If you love these pictures, just wait until you see the cinematic video put together by Brian, owner and videographer of BR Focus Films! He just so happened to be holding Rayna’s veil for this shot but we quickly switched spots and I held it for him so he could get the same!

This is one of my favorite pictures from Rayna and Logan’s Acres of Grace Family Farms wedding celebration. I mean let’s be honest, they’re all my favorites. That’s why this blog has so many photos. I just couldn’t pick a few to post!

These little bottles also came from Crystal Event Rentals and Design!

Wedding Cake Cutting

Licking frosting off his nose… that’s true love!

I’ve often seen couples cut their cake, take one bite and then set it down to go dance. Not Rayna! She was enjoying it so much she finished it! That tells you just how delicious, on top of being beautiful, Bell’s cakes are!

Popping the bubbly!

Golden hour photos are where. its. at! Trust your photographer… the light during this time is magical!

Now check out the menus that After a While Crocodile designed! Aren’t they gorgeous?!

Acres of Grace Family Farms wedding venue has an open sided barn that is just perfect for the cooler months in Florida! With multiple chandeliers, curtains and even draping throughout, if you want, it is so perfect. When you arrive at Acres of Grace, you’ll notice just how quiet and peaceful it is out in Howey in the Hills! The perfect setting for an elegant countryside wedding.

First dance under the chandelier and bistro lights while the sun sets.

Of course we had to get a few sunset photos!

These place settings are perfection!

A candlelit evening dinner!

The best way to wrap up a gorgeous Acres of Grace Family Farms wedding celebration is on the dance floor with the one you love most.

I am just beyond floored with how beautiful this wedding celebration came together. Every piece that each professional brought was perfection! If you’re getting married at Acres of Grace Family Farms, look no further than the team that put this event together! They are the best!

And seriously, if you’re looking for a quiet, peaceful, down to earth yet still elegant wedding you need to go tour Acres of Grace wedding venue in Howey in the Hills! Becky is amazing to work with and you won’t regret the visit!
