| Epicurean Hotel Wedding |
We started Christine and Luis’s gorgeous Tampa wedding with a beautiful, traditional celebration at Hyde Park Presbyterian Church. As the ceremony commenced, the the lovely bride walked down to her handsome groom in a a white, long sleeve, lace wedding gown from The White Magnolia Bridal Collection. Her bridesmaids were clothed in baby blue gowns from Weddington Way that paired perfectly with the groomsmen’s navy blue tuxedos. I also have to add here, how incredibly cute the flower girls and ring bearer were. Christine did such a amazing job coordinating the floral halos and color palate! I’m so obsessed with these ash-blue colors!
The celebration continued as guests were directed to the Epicurean Hotel, for the reception. The decor, which I can only describe as effortless elegance included, wooden french country chairs, silver chargers and a beautiful green leaf place setting. Each table had florals, created from Artistic Florist of Tampa, housed in a geometric gold centerpiece.
Their one-of-a-kind, swoon-worthy dessert table included several special flavored bundt cakes, something I never see, but absolutely loved! As the night progressed, guests let loose with energetic music and hilarious props. I could tell everyone was having a great time…and just wait until you see how awesome the “Hora Loca” was!! I really hope this becomes a more common reception tradition~ It really gets EVERYONE on dance floor having the best time!
These two are the best and the sweetest! Every single smile, laugh and kiss proved natural and so beautiful with these two. Christine and Luis-I hope you both had the most wonderful night of your life! Thank you so much for letting me be apart of it. Everything was magical! Cheers to you both and to many years and years of love and happiness!!
