James and Stephanie: A Destination Wedding

A Wedding Planned From Across the World 

From across the globe, James and Stephanie planned their entire wedding with the help of Sun and Sea’s world class wedding planners. Traveling over 10,000 miles from Australia, and choosing the one of a kind CastleGate venue, overlooking the most breathtaking views in the Historic St Augustine, Florida. Featuring spectacular sunsets beside Castle Otttis and awe-inspiring sunrises over the ocean can be seen from the 4th story skydeck.

This special day began in a room meticulously constructed for gorgeous destination affairs such as this. With a window built and designed with an inspiringly royal view of the Castle Otttis, making any bride feel like a princess. The master room adjoins to an exquisite bridal vanity, especially arranged for the bride and her best girls.

James and Stephanie chose to commit their vows in the courtyard of CastleGate. The couple said “I do” in front of Sun and Sea’s Charmingly Vintage 2 post birch arbor, with upgraded side swags including ivory gauze and fresh florals accented with blush, cranberry, and ivory florals. The bridesmaid’s carried bouquets of ivory roses bedded in organic eucalypti, while the stunning Stephanie carried a bouquet centered around exotic King Protea flowers.

To complete the perfect day with a fairytale ending, James and Stephanie celebrated with friends and family inside the Carriage House behind CastleGate. The space thoughtfully decorated to compliment the colors and ambiance of the antique meets modern theme of the evening. The collaboration of a couple with incredible vision, and the expertise of Sun and Sea Beach Weddings, this wedding was one we will never forget.
