Alli and Michael’s Palafox Wharf wedding was awesome. It featured a giant open-air tent covering the lawn, with a fantastic band that helped the guests dance the night away. I love the groom’s martini bar (um, so much better than a groom’s cake!), and the spatulated wedding cake is one of my favorites. Alli’s illusion back lace gown looked gorgeous on her, and all in all, this Pensacola wedding was just delightful.
