| Oxford Exchange Wedding |
Maggie and Chris’ Oxford Exchange wedding was nothing less than perfection. This European-inspired restaurant that also serves as a wedding venue based in Tampa, boast lots of personality and is such a unique choice to get married. Originally built in 1891 as a stable for the Tampa Bay Hotel, the refurbished 25,000 square foot space has a British Colonial influence with wood paneling, Italian marble, zinc tabletops, leather paneled coffered ceilings, hand-painted tile floors, and ahhh-mazing natural light. Can you say a photographer’s dream?!
The newlyweds decided on an intimate wedding to keep family close on their special day. Maggie, who got ready with her bridesmaids at her parent’s beautiful home, looked absolutely stunning in her wedding gown. Her wedding palette consisted of warm neutrals, blush, black, and golds. The bridesmaids bouquets were just divine and I was obsessed the bride’s white peonies.
Maggie worked closely with wedding planner Carolina from One Fine Day and florist, Botanica. As the wedding ceremony took place, my jaw dropped at the floral arch that had been created at the alter. Her sweet, soon-to-be hubby was so happy and emotional watching her walk down the aisle!
The reception space was decorated in white tea lights, florals and a ton of greenery. Botanica and Carolina did a wonderful job piecing everything together. Everything was breathtaking. As the night when on, family and friends danced away with the new bride and groom. As I captured the moments of the night, it was so apparent how important family was to this sweet couple on their special day.
Congratulations Maggie and Chris! I hope this day lasts as one of the most memorable days of your life. I am so thankful to have been apart of it!
