Maroon and Gold Wedding Starring Alexa and Kip

Alexa and Kip's wedding day at the Tampa Firefighters Museum, could be compared to a movie shoot. There was glamour, numerous "set changes," and a teary moment or two.


It reflected back on Kip's proposal to Alexa. "Kip rented a giant, inflatable movie screen and surprised me in our backyard," Alexa recalled. "He played a slideshow of us, and my favorite movie, 'Love Actually.' He decorated with candles, and had all of my favorite movie snacks."

The couple's wedding day began with getting ready pictures at a nearby hotel. The second level ballroom at the Firefighter's Museum first served as the ceremony area with pre-set guest tables hidden behind a draped area. Our white carriage lanterns were used along the aisle with gorgeous floral accents from Fleurtations Florals.


Guests entered through the front door and made their way up the garland-laden staircase to the ceremony.




No detail was over-looked. From toiletry baskets in the restroom to kippets and a sign indicating its significance for the Jewish tradition, they thought of it all!



Following the ceremony, guests made their way down to the museum area on the first floor for cocktails and hand-passed hors d'oeuvres. The couple designed a memorial table with pictures reflecting on those who could not be there with them that day. Place cards were held in wine corks. Guests were able to tour the museum's artifacts while our staff was busy converting the ceremony area to the reception area. The bride and groom were able to leisurely enjoy their post-ceremony pictures in Downtown Tampa leaving all of the work to us.





Our black wrought iron candle holders were used on the high top cocktail tables. Almost everything from the social hour was transferred to the main reception.







The former ceremony area was transformed in less than an hour and the bar was transferred to an awaiting second one on the second floor. Alexa chose a mixture of long and round guest tables with a huge traditional head table.




Centerpieces alternated between our gold lanterns accented with fresh eucalyptus, and tall glass cylinders filled with dusty rose and white flowers. 












Instead of a large formal wedding cake, Alexa and Kip decided on a small cake they cut at their table where everyone could see. Then they offered a huge variety of cakes, pies and pastries for the indulgence of their guests.


At the end of the celebration, we set out sparklers on the main entry tables and the couple was sent on their way in a blaze of fire.




The End.
