Eric and Nicole had no idea fate was pulling them together, living at the same apartment complex in Tallahassee and attending countless FSU games, but never meeting until mutual friends introduced them at Beef 'O Brady's (watching an FSU game of course!) In true Seminoles fashion, Eric proposed at the Unconquered statue at Florida State University. The garnet and gold color scheme was an obvious choice for the couple, but pops of eggplant were also incorporated throughout to bring an element of Springtime to their March nuptials.
All of the twinkling lights at Baker's Ranch created an intimate and romantic feel.
The bride's stunning lace and tulle ballgown with an illusion neckline.
The perfect amount of sparkle in the bride's Badgley Mischka designer pumps.
The couple were so full of laughter and love, especially for each other, that it only made sense for them to write their own vows.
Of course the groom had to sport his FSU socks and cufflinks!
You can see how truly enamored the groom is with his bride, seeing her for the first time that day.
The bride could not look more stunning in her lace and tulle ballgown, complimented by her bouquet of garnet ranunculus, eggplant hydrangea, and ivory and peach garden roses.
The sweetest sight, the groom tearing up during the couple's first look.
The bride's bouquet consisted of ranunculus, hydrangea, garden roses and touches of greenery.
Oak trees dripping in Spanish moss surrounded the ceremony space and crystal chandeliers hung above the couple as they said "I do".
The new Mr. & Mrs. ready to hit their reception!
The couple had custom garnet and gold koozie favors, which shared their love of FSU (and each other) with their guests.
The gift table was full of pictures of the couple and amazing personalized gifts, like the three paneled canvas prints of the couple's last name against an image of the FSU stadium.
The couple also created custom stir sticks and napkins, which described the couple's love story (well just the beginning of it!)
The reception space had an intimate and romantic feel thanks to soft ceiling draping and amber up-lighting.
Centerpieces mirrored the bride's bouquet and featured gold table numbers and mercury glass candles.
Each place setting featured gold chargers and menu cards for each guest.
The couple's love for each other was so obvious during their first dance.
A group photo booth shot!
The gorgeous four tiered gold painted cake accented with dark purple flowers, greenery, and the couple's initials.
The couple handmade cards that said "let love sparkle" for each of the sparklers they provided to the guests for their send off.
A sparkler send off bid farewell to the couple with love and well-wishes!
