Dakota & Lance | Mission Inn Wedding

bride and groom hold each other after Mission Inn wedding on Little Lake Harris

Dakota & Lance said “I do” at their Mission Inn wedding surrounded by friends, family, and lots of bass waiting to be caught by the groom in Lake Harris. Lance grew up running around Mission Inn and fishing in the chain of lakes. He said he couldn’t imagine getting married anywhere else. Their elegant gold and green Mission Inn wedding was all the more impressive because the bride and groom were in charge of all of the garlands, centerpieces, and bouquets! They own The Garland Guy, a garland and wreath business, so you can imagine everything was absolutely gorgeous!

Who doesn’t love a dress with POCKETS?! Dakota’s wedding gown was absolutely stunning. If you haven’t guessed yet, fishing is one of Lance’s favorite things to do in the world. Dakota got her groom bass cuff links all the way from London to really complete his wedding day look.

Dakota’s favorite moment of the day:

Definitely walking down the aisle to my husband!

Lance’s favorite moment of the day:

Catching a monster bass right before the ceremony! And seeing my wife for the first time too.

Did we mention Lance loves fishing?! ;)

Check out their stunning custom centerpieces! Dakota & Lance’s background in tropical foliage made it easy to incorporate all the various shades of green they were looking for in their Mission Inn wedding. We absolutely loved every little touch of garland throughout the day!

There were THREE #SFPcouples at this wedding! ♥ If you’ve been following SFP for a while now, you may remember Lisa & Michael and Ashley & Austin. So much love for this good-lookin crew. Also,  Ashley was the super talent behind all of the hair and makeup at Lance & Dakota’s wedding!

Dakota’s advice for brides planning now:

Get a planner!! No seriously, leave the communication to all your vendors up to them! It is such a big help!

We love that! Having a planner does make such a difference in allowing you to truly enjoy all the hard work you put into planning your big day. Congratulations to Mr. & Mrs. Pemble! We can’t wait to see where life takes your little family!

Peace, Love, & Bass ;) – The SFP Team
