A Wedding at Bonnet House

A Wedding at Bonnet House
Have you ever visited Bonnet House? It is a beautiful house and gardens which is open to the public as a museum. It was the home of two artists, built in the 1920's and sits on 35 acres in the heart of Fort Lauderdale. It borders on A1A and actually has 300 feet of private beach. For a good look please visit www.bonnethouse.org

The reason for the inclusion of Bonnet House here on my wedding blog is that it is a beautiful place for a wedding. It's not cheap but if you are looking for spectacular and can afford it please consider it as your wedding location.

I have performed several weddings at the Bonnet House and I will be doing a wedding there this evening. I'm hoping for good warm weather, it's been so cold here this winter but after all this is the first day of spring so maybe it will behave like spring.

When you hold your wedding at Bonnet House the ceremony takes place at the "dry fountain". It is a beaautiful marble piece of structural art which sits between two fresh water lagoons filled with water lillies. Our white swans are usually in sight and the bride makes her way to the ceremony site by walking down a tree covered lane.

I will be writing about this wedding in my next blog and I invite you to visit the Bonnet House both online and in person. If you come by on Wednesday between noon and 3:00 I will be there driving a tram and taking guests on nature tours. Stop by and say hello.
