BIT OF BLISS Ever since she was a young girl, Stacie Tobin (née Yellin) wanted to ride her horse down the aisle on her wedding day. However, when the big day came on Saturday, June 29th, she was set to tie the knot at the tony Ritz Carlton in West Palm Beach, Florida, where hooves and marble floors wouldn’t exactly make for a dream scenario. No matter. Tobin, who owns and operates Belle and Bow Equestrian, which produces show bows for pony riders, was willing to compromise. Her dream wedding unfolded at the glamorous beachside resort just the way she wanted, with the man of her dreams and subtle equestrian touches to the decor. The flower girls wore wedding-themed show bows in their hair, and each guest was gifted a silver horseshoe that Tobin had sourced from her farrier and painted herself. Those details were sweet reminders of Tobin’s equestrian roots, and several weeks later that she was able to live out the rest of her dream. Tobin arranged for a special wedding photo shoot at Sandy Holbrook’s Sugarbrook Farm in North Central Florida, where Tobin’s first pony now lives as a broodmare. Decked out in their wedding best, Tobin and her husband Josh captured a few more unforgettable memories to go in their wedding album.
