If seersucker and Lily Pulitzer are on your faves list, boy do we have a treat for you! Jemma Coleman Photography produced the perfect "Palm Beach Prep" styled Wedding shoot for a Florida affair not be forgotten.  A fashionable & tropical inspiration shoot set in the breezy beach town of Jupiter, FL, Jemma was inspired by the classic preppy style of the ivy-league-ers and Nantucket northerners that call this place home in the colder months. 

Starting with oh-so-preppy blue striped seersucker linens and white hemstitch napkins as a classic preppy base from Atlas Party Rentals, Jemma added tropical & local florals by Touch of Paradise, bamboo furniture & napkin rings, traditional china, and delectable foods reminiscent of the northeast by your favorite Rockstars, Rockstar Catering Company. Rope silverware represents the connection to the ocean & sailing. The delicious signature drink – aptly named the Nantucket Red featured southern grown blueberries and watermelon.

For attire, a priority was traditional preppy style with seaside flair! The groom wore Nantucket Red Polo Ralph Lauren trousers, a smart white shirt & vest from Nordstrom, Brooks Brothers bow tie (with adorable sea creatures!), and Johnston & Murphy deer-hide oxfords & belt. The bride modeled a gorgeous Amsale ballgown provided by Boca Raton Bridal, complete with useful pockets for a wonderfully classic look. The bridesmaids were decked out in Lilly Pulitzer (the original Palm Beach Prep!) dresses and shoes with eye-catching jewelry from fabulous Etsy artists. All three ladies had their hair “prepped” by amazing local hair stylist, Erin Frazee. The adorable doggy modeled a Vineyard Vines leash and a collar by Etsy artist, Pecan Pie Puppies.

For dessert, The Sugar Monkey, pulled off the most adorable assortment of treats and cookies featuring starfish & beautiful flowers made from sugar. The cake was a simple yet elegant piece of art bringing the theme inspiration together perfectly. The amazing paper suite designed by Make Merry featured stripes and a coral motif all wrapped up in a bamboo paper belt and starfish to set it all off.

Kyle's Grilled Pork Tenderloin with Amber Maple & Cracked Peppercorn Glaze

INGREDIENTS

1  2 Lb Pork Tenderloin Roast (trimmed of visable fat)

1 tablespoon olive oil

3/4 teaspoon whole black peppercorns, crushed

1 teaspoon kosher salt

2 medium shallot, minced

2 tablespoon fresh thyme leaves

3 1/2 tablespoons cider vinegar

1/2 cup maple syrup (Grade B or Dark Amber)

 

DIRECTIONS

Pre-Heat your Grill to Med High Heat

Rub the Tenderloin with the Oil and season with 3/4 of the salt

Grill on both sides for about 4-5 minutes or until the internal temperature is 145 degrees

Remove from grill and wrap in aluminum foil

Meanwhile, place a skillet on a burner and turn the heat to medium-high. Add the shallot, thyme, and the rest of the salt. Cook until the shallot is beginning to brown, about 2 minutes.

Pour in the vinegar, and scrape the bottom of the pan with a wooden spoon to dislodge any browned bits. Reduce heat to a simmer, and let reduce for 2 minutes. Then add the maple syrup and the crushed black pepper. Return to a simmer and cook for 8 minutes.

Slice the Tenderloin and serve the sauce over it!!!
