Vibrant colors continues to be a favorite among our clients who want to add drama in creating a formal color look. Such was the case for Amanda and Garrett's August celebration at the St. Pete Beach Community Center. A black damask accent was added for table overlays and small embellishments. .

The couple decided to utilize our Treasure Chest Package which included almost everything they needed for their big day. This included the ceremony and reception venue, photography, personal wedding flowers, ceremony coordinator, officiant, alcohol at cost, ceremony arbor and decor, and dj services. Because they had several other aspects in place, they opted for floor to ceiling uplit draperies as part of their package.

Though it was one of the hottest times of the year for an outdoor wedding, Amanda and her mom, Joann, carefully planned pre-nuptial activities at a nearby beach hotel. This included a relaxing amount of time to primp and have beautiful candid photos with loved ones.

The actual ceremony was held on the plaza at the community center but lasted less than 10 minutes. Everything was perfectly timed so that guests and bridal party members didn't spend unnecessary time amid the humidity.

Joanne was an amazing resource for Amanda despite the fact she did the planning almost entirely from Puerto Rico.When we had design meetings that needed to be done, she made a point to schedule a visit to Tampa. One of the special aspects of the decor were the inclusion of the silver and black damask overlays that had been used at Amanda's parents' anniversary the year prior.
