We started the day off with Melissa and Phil seeing each other for the first time in the amphitheater at Curtis Hixon Park. As you will see, their wedding theme was "sophisticated circus" with everything being black and white with red accents. This is so them, and seriously one of the most creative weddings we've seen! The ceremony was spectacular, with balloons floating in the sky, a candle lighting ceremony, and the union of a beautiful couple under the big top of the Tampa Art Museum:-) Each part of the day had awesome surprises for their guests, during cocktail hour there were fire dancers, popcorn, cotton candy, and of course Melissa and Phil's entrance down the staircase into the reception by the Hillsborough High Big Red Drum Line. The reception decor was black and red linens with silver candleabra's that had little black and white shades, succulants, roses, red flyer wagons and matching stationary everywhere. One of my favorite details was the cake, it was a "deconstructed cake" so unique! They also had a huge red frame as backdrop for fun photos of their guests, The Bus Stop Band rocked the party and Melissa and Phil exited with sparklers onto a boat. It was a day full of memories they will never forget!! Congrats Melissa and Phil!!! xoxoxo
