It didn't take long for Nicole Rebochark and Thomas DiMarco to realize that marriage was in the cards for them. The couple hit it off while bartending in college, and on their two-year anniversary of dating, Thomas popped the question. Shortly after, the South Florida couple celebrated their union with an intimate outdoor ceremony in Davie, Florida.

For some brides, finding the perfect wedding dress can be difficult, but for Nicole, the first time was a charm. Her strapless gown, from the Galina Signature Collection, featured lace applique on top and gently flowed into a mermaid style skirt. Nicole added a touch of sparkle to her look with an embellished belt.

Ceremony Decor

“I wanted a mix of rustic and glamour, and since we already had the perfect Southern venue, I just added soft feminine touch to the décor,” the bride says. “A blush and gold color palette served as a beautiful combination for the reception. Our wedding took place during the winter, so these colors helped add a warm and inviting feel.”

“We decided to DIY and make Oreo lollipops as guest favors,” the bride says. “We put vanilla Oreos on sticks and dipped them in white chocolate, then sprinkled them with blush and gold edible beads—our wedding colors. The night before, we had our entire family in an assembly line making 80 of these little treats. It was a great chance to bond with everyone and catch up, too.”
