{Valerie + Ryan @Rusty Pelican}

It was a beautiful November morning for Valerie and Ryan’s seaside style wedding.  The festivities began on the top floor of the Westin.  It’s always so energizing to feel the excitement building as the girls are getting ready and making sure the bride has everything she needs to look stunning Valerie definitely did!  Ryan was so nervous as he anxiously waited for Valerie to step out of the limo and to meet him at the end of the aisle.  I’m usually right by the groom, trying to capture his reaction without being to obviousJ  As Valerie was escorted by her dad, you could feel the love radiating off of Ryan as a tear slipped down his cheek.  It still gets me every time, and I just can’t stop smiling thinking about it.  White orchid cascading center pieces, starfish, and aqua linens accented the room.  Their cake topper was 2 adirondack chairs on top of a brown sugary sea shell cake.  Here’s some of their story and sweet moments.  Congrats!!! xoxoxoxo

{Christina + Adam @Westin Harbour Island}

Adam is from Canada and all his family flew in to celebrate he and Christina's special day.  You know all those fun hangers that spell different things, Christina's dad actually made those for her and all the bridemaids!  Their gifts to their bridal party were champagne flutes for the girls with their purple dresses on them and beer glasses for the boys with their names or nicknames on them:-)  Adam's grandpa officiated the ceremony and officially married them!  Purple and pink with lanterns and gorgeous tall center pieces.  I love that location with the waterfront, downtown Tampa, and the awesome street lights. The entire day was awesome and so much fun!  Congrats Christina and Adam!!!  xoxoxo

{Jodi + Jared @St. Pete Museum of Fine Arts}

Jodi and Jared's wedding day was full of scary monsters, pumpkins, skulls, and spiders!  They tied the knot a couple days before Halloween and had a very festive wedding!  All their guests were in full costume so there were appearances by Cruella Deville, The Cat in the Hat, Fred Flintstone, ring bearer vampires, royalty, and lots of other fun characters.  Jodi wore a gown with just a small red rose on it to accent the red and black decor, during the reception she changed into a gown perfect for Halloween.  The reception looked awesome, black linens, tall red rose center pieces with little pumpkins and carmel apples as favors for their guests.  Jodi made the chocolate skull on top of the cake and Jared's chocolate skeleton cake.  Such a fun party complete with scary Halloween music all night long!  Congrats Jodi and Jared!
