Wedding at the Sirata: Tanya and Jon

Tanya and Jon came from Canada to have a summer wedding on a Florida beach.  Their wedding was held at the Sirata Beach Resort.  Irene from For Better For Less does a wonderful job with flowers and she was the florist for the wedding.  Amanda of Pink Fiddle played the violin at the ceremony.  At the reception the DJ was from Grant Hemond and the cake was from Publix.

Tanya and Jon had their First Sight before the ceremony and then met their family and wedding party on the beach for pictures.  They joined their guests at the reception right after the ceremony and then stepped out for a few minutes at sunset for more bride and groom pictures.

Congratulations to Tanya and Jon and thanks for having dad there to capture your day!

Stephanie and Michael at the Grand Plaza

The Grand Plaza is a terrific location for weddings.  Stephanie and Michael were married there on Thursday.  Dad met Stephanie that morning at London Hair and Spa where she had her hair and makeup done before heading to the Don CeSar to get dressed.  Stephanie and her bridesmaids looked beautiful!  The bridesmaids wore blue dresses and carried bouquets of white and ivory made by Marsha of Marsha Marie Floral.

The ceremony on the beach had chairs with white chair covers and blue chair ribbons.  Floral arrangements on white pillars were on either side of a white lattice also decorated with flowers.  Amanda Gerttula of the Pink Fiddle played the violin for the ceremony music and Reverend Tom Greene (727-403-6308) was the officiant.  Stephanie and Michael smiled all through their ceremony.  It is wonderful to see two people soaking in the joy of their day.

The bride and groom live in Canada and many of their guests came from Canada as well.  Dad had fun meeting them and getting some tips on traveling to Canada for a family vacation we might be taking. In addition to the traditional toasts, guests came up to a podium during dinner and shared limericks about the couple.  The cake was made by Le Cheesecake and was white and covered in little flowers.

Congratulations Stephanie and Michael, and have a great time at Disney World!  Don’t forget to buy Minnie and Mickey bride and groom ears to wear!
