Maria Bell

Hi, I’m Maria! I’m an Orlando-based wedding enthusiast, Florida bride, and the voice behind Southern Touch Weddings.

After spending two unforgettable years planning my own wedding, I discovered just how much goes into creating the perfect day. From exploring beautiful Florida venues and finding talented local vendors to choosing flowers, décor, and all those little details, I learned more about weddings than I ever imagined!

Along the way, I realized how overwhelming wedding planning can feel, especially with so many options and decisions to make.

That’s what inspired my mission with Southern Touch Weddings: to help couples plan beautiful, meaningful Florida and Orlando weddings with more inspiration, confidence, and a little less stress.

Here, I share everything I’ve learned, along with wedding inspiration, planning tips, venue ideas, bridal fashion, and hidden gems throughout the Sunshine State.

Whether you’re dreaming of a romantic Orlando garden wedding, a glamorous Miami celebration, or an intimate ceremony in the Florida Keys, I’m here to help you make your wedding uniquely yours.

My mission is simple: to make planning your Florida wedding just as beautiful and memorable as the day itself.

With love,
Maria ♡
