Planning a Wedding at Delamater House
Weddings at the Delamater House are a fantastic way to embrace the Florida lifestyle! Whether you’re thinking about weather planning or those unique floral arrangements, there are a few key things to keep in mind when hosting your big day at this venue:
Prepare for the Weather: Florida’s weather can be unpredictable, so it’s important to plan ahead! While the venue’s outdoor spaces are stunning, it’s always a good idea to have a backup plan in case of rain or extreme heat.

Outdoor Spaces for Portraits: The grounds at the Delamater House are perfect for snagging those stunning wedding portraits! With lush green lawns, rustic barn doors, and charming pathways, you’ll have so many options for capturing beautiful moments. And while Florida can get pretty hot, planning your outdoor photos during the golden hour is a game changer. You’ll dodge that harsh midday sun and get that romantic glow in your shots!
Florida-Inspired Florals: One of the benefits of hosting a wedding at the Delamater House is the opportunity to incorporate local florals and vegetation into your decor. The beautiful surroundings make it super easy to blend indoor and outdoor vibes. For Ashley and Erik’s wedding, we worked with the venue’s natural aesthetic to create floral arrangements that felt both organic and elegant, perfectly capturing the tropical charm of Florida!
Ashley & Erik’s Wedding at the Delamater House
From the moment I arrived at the Delamater House for Ashley and Erik’s wedding, I could feel the excitement in the air! The day kicked off with Ashley getting ready in one of the rooms. I loved capturing shots of her dress, the gorgeous florals, and all her accessories. Soon enough, her bridesmaids popped in, all dressed in their matching robes, bringing such a fun vibe as they helped her get ready. Meanwhile, Erik was in another room prepping for the big moment, which just added to the anticipation. I really loved how these moments unfolded naturally, with both sides gearing up for a day that would soon bring them together!
The ceremony took place outdoors, and let me tell you, the backdrop of white flowers and greenery was just perfect for that tropical, elegant vibe of the venue. Ashley and Erik chose not to do a first look, so when Erik saw Ashley walking down the aisle for the first time, his reaction was one of the most touching moments of the day. Watching him get choked up as she made her way toward him was such a beautiful reminder of how meaningful these moments truly are. It really hit home how love can make everything feel so real and emotional!
After the ceremony, we moved on to portraits of Ashley and Erik. The lush, tropical surroundings of the Delamater House provided a stunning backdrop, and the couple’s love and joy were so easy to capture. The bridal party photos that followed were a dream to capture, set against the lush greenery of the venue. The bridesmaids’ green dresses paired perfectly with the natural surroundings.
But one of the biggest surprises happened right before the reception! Ashley snuck away and chopped off her hair, and it was such a bold and fun move! I loved how she fully embraced that moment. The reception itself was all about those elegant rustic vibes, perfectly showcasing the venue’s natural beauty with decor that just fit the space so well. It was such a fun celebration, and you could totally tell that everyone was having an absolute blast!
But the night didn’t stop there! After the reception wrapped up, Ashley and Erik dashed out to the beach and, in true adventurous style, jumped right into the ocean! It was the perfect way to cap off such an amazing day. I couldn’t help but feel so happy for them as they made a memory they’ll cherish forever!
