Natalie + Tom Step Into The Limelight | The Ringling Museum | Sarasota, FL

March 13, 2018

Natalie and Tom met at a mutual Friend’s Gasparilla Party on Davis Island, right here in Tampa Bay! Tom proposed at the stroke of midnight at The Vinoy following their friends’ Mallory and Matt Schowe’s wedding on September 4th. It is so sweet to see how this couple makes each other laugh and smile - they are truly in love! They enjoy attending concerts, going out to dinner and watching sports, especially football and Lightning games.

The bride loves pearls and wanted them included in her bouquet along with the hint of peach; hence, the Peach Juliette Garden rose with lots of pearl brooches and runners of pearls and pearl treatments on the handle. Also, a piece of the bride’s mom’s wedding gown was wrapped around the stems of the bouquet.

The ceremony arch was so romantic with peach, coral, blush and orange colors with a combination of blush hydrangea, Freespirit, Wedding Whisper, Amsterdam, garden roses and Babe orange spray roses. Natalie also loves gold so we pulled gold pedestals at the front and back of aisle with florals to match the arch were a perfect accent!

“Cutie” small tangerines were used to incorporate elements of citrus throughout the wedding decor at the ceremony, cocktail hour and reception. The most adorable tiny arrangements with the “cutie’s” as the vase with orange spray roses & peach hypericum berries graced the banquet tables, along with floral arrangements in gold mercury vases. Lots of candles were also important to the bride, and these were placed in gold terrariums. Also, gold votives were nested into glass holders filled with loose pearls. Overall there was a beautiful, lush full look running look down the tables with coordinating elements, but not all matching identically which created a romantic, elegant atmosphere on the Gulf of Mexico with the gorgeous Ca D’Zan mansion as the backdrop.

Merideth + Dean Step Into The Limelight | Grand Hyatt Tampa Bay | Tampa, FL

March 9, 2018

What a gorgeous wedding we had the opportunity to attend and capture on a beautiful Sunday evening! This very modern and elegant wedding took place at the Grand Hyatt Tampa Bay. The sky was clear and the weather was just perfect for this couple.

Merideth and Dean started their day off getting ready with their loved ones around them. We then took them down to one of grand halls at the Grand Hyatt where the couple had the sweetest first look. Merideth held the most beautiful bouquet full of vibrant colored flowers which were also present during the ceremony and candle lit reception. The ceremony was short and sweet and focused on the love between the two. We went right into the celebration which was romantic and beautiful just like the couple had planned. Every detail was perfect!

Congratulations to the newlyweds!

Heather + Roger Step Into The Limelight | TradeWinds Island Grand Resort | St. Pete Beach, FL

March 9, 2018

Heather and Roger met by chance in Tampa, FL in 2014 at Hula Bay Club. They were sitting next to each other and just struck up a conversation. From that day forward Heather and Roger say that there is no one else that they would rather hang out with. They are each other’s best friend and biggest fan, full of support and compassion for one another.

Heather and Roger’s wedding at the TradeWinds Island Grand Resort showed the compassion they also have for their family. They wanted their guests to feel pampered and fulfilled during their ‘kids free’ guest destination wedding. It was easy to enjoy Heather and Roger’s wedding day because having fun is a huge part of who they are, from the rainbow and unicorn groomsmen socks, to the joke cracking officiant, and their sweet yet funny marriage vows. Even though their ceremony was on the beach, their wedding was not about the beach for them. It was about taking the utmost care of their very special guests during one of the most memorable times of their lives.

Congratulations Heather + Roger on becoming husband and wife!

Celia + Clifford Step Into The Limelight | The Ringling Museum | Sarasota, FL

March 7, 2018

Two hearts make one. This sweet couple are truly partners that deeply love each other and share romance together. Clif gave Celia the first wedding invitation two months before their wedding, and he surprised her with the sweetest script on it: “Dear Celia, This is your invitation to spend forever with me.” And you can just see how much Celia adores Clif when she shares her heart with sentiments like this, “I love u so much Cliffy, my future husband! Thank u for always being my rock and always being such a great man that u are. I'm so happy that we have found each other and now our lives are complete! I can't wait to be your wife in just a few months!! My world is forever changed because of you.”

They enjoy sharing laughs and making great memories with all of our their friends. Watching the boat parade from their house on the water is one of their favorite events.

The beading on Celia’s dress completed the fabulously glamorous gold and glitter look of the wedding. Her cathedral length veil was so romantic blowing in the crisp, cool breeze. The entire wedding was straight out of a fairytale and over the top! All florals were in white, off-white, creams and champagnes, including an assortment of soft and romantic blooms, hydrangeas, ranunculus, garden roses, tulips, spray roses, regular roses, lisianthus, and phalaenopsis orchids. The snowfall during their first dance was completely romantic! And the rose petal canon cascade on the guests dancing was so much fun!

March 7, 2018

“A classy wedding at a gorgeous venue, where shoes are optional” -Tamara & Matt

And to dream of a more perfect day? Tamara & Matthew’s wedding was simply spectacular. The beautiful Casa Marina Resort backdrop, the wave sounds of the ocean, the beach themed decor that included tree branches and touches of white modern coral reef...It was all perfection! The sunset made for a one-of-a-kind cocktail hour and reception setting outside. To top it all off, the sounds of steel drums created a perfect tropical atmosphere.

During the reception, Tamara’s father reminisced about the family vacations down in Key West to visit grandma and how much Tamara LOVES sharks. {Thanks to Shark Week!}

The entire day, Tamara and Matthew were surrounded by true, life-long friends and their closest family members.

Tamara loves Mathew’s confidence and carefree attitude. Matthew loves how Tamara cares about everyone around her. We witnessed these characteristics displayed beautifully and gracefully. Everyone LOVED being part of this journey. We could all feel the love and joy shining through these two.

We pray you enjoy married life together to the fullest and that you always make time for each, continue to travel, taste wines around the world, enjoy your doggies and ALL that life will offer you.

Congratulations on a gorgeous, classy and romantic wedding day!
