Wedding at the Embassy Suites Tampa: Lisa and Adam

Saturday, March 5, 2011 12:09 pm

Mom had so much fun talking with Lisa as she planned for her wedding and she was so excited when the big day arrived! Dad joined Lisa and Adam for their wedding at the Embassy Suites Tampa. Lisa had her hair and makeup done by Michele Renee of the Michele Renee Hair and Makeup Artist Group. The wedding colors were black and pink and FishHawk Weddings put together beautiful pink bouquets and floral arrangements. Mom’s favorite flowers were the branch filled vases at the ceremony with pink flowers on top and tall branches coming out of the flowers. Bridesmaids wore black dresses with pink sashes and pink necklaces and they carried pink bouquets. Lisa and Adam had their first sight before the ceremony and were able to do most of their pictures early in the day. It was sweet to see how incredibly happy they were! Lisa could not stop smiling and laughing.

At the reception the wonderful Rob Sword of Sword Sounds was the DJ and the cake was from Publix Greenwise in Tampa. It was a fun celebration with a packed dance floor. Guests also had fun dressing up in the props for the photo booth that Lisa and Adam had there. Congratulations to the newlyweds on a beautiful and fun wedding and we hope all the laughter and joy of your day lasts throughout your marriage. Thanks Lisa and Adam, and stay in touch!

Sara and Brian at the Embassy Suites Tampa

Within an eleven day period, dad has eight weddings and four sessions! It is going to be a crazy fun two weeks, and Sara and Brian started things off with their wedding on Thursday at the Embassy Suites Tampa. Dad said they are an awesome couple! They were up for anything dad suggested and they had fun with it. Dad was so happy that they had a first sight so he had time for their bride and groom pictures.

The couple had their friend Lisa as their wedding coordinator and dad said she was great at keeping things organized and on time. Lou of The Arrangement Florist did the flowers and Chocolate Pi made the couple’s cake. It is always great to work with Darla Stafford and Rob Sword! Darla was there for Sara’s hair and makeup (dad is working with her for three weddings in a row this weekend!) and Rob was the DJ at the reception.

Sara and Brian were such a fun couple and dad really enjoyed being there as they started their married life together. Congratulations newlyweds!! Have a great time in Maui! Dad photographed Lisa and Joe’s wedding and they left for their honeymoon in Maui on Friday, so dad says you two should have gotten together to fly him out as well.

Megan and Jesse at Maggiano’s

Wednesday, September 16, 2009 5:30 pm

What a great wedding for an awesome couple! Megan and Jesse were married on Saturday in a beautiful vintage style wedding in Tampa. When dad talked to Megan before the wedding, he knew this was going to be a fun and memorable day. There were lots of inside jokes and surprises planned that made the wedding special to the couple.

Megan and Jesse were legally married that morning…at McDonalds! Dad met up with Megan that afternoon as she got ready for the reception in her hotel room at the Embassy Suites. The fabulous Darla Stafford was there for Megan’s hair and makeup. For those of you who tried to get Darla for your 2010 date, she is now booking 2010 again so be sure to contact her. Megan kept to the vintage theme with her birdcage veil, feather hair accent, cameo pearl necklace, and long satin gloves. She carried a cascading bouquet put together by Eufloria Blooms. Jesse wore wing tip shoes and a fedora. They both looked terrific! They had their first sight at Westshore and took some family pictures before the rain started. Their reception was being held at Maggiano’s Little Italy so dad took them inside there for a few more pictures before the reception started.

Guests were seated at their tables when the bride and groom were announced. They thought they were just there for the reception so Megan and Jesse surprised everyone by having a ceremony as well. As the ceremony ended, instead of a recessional the couple went right into their first dance. Rob Sword of Sword Sounds was the DJ and he is always does an excellent job. Dad looks forward to working with him. Of course with the reception at Maggiano’s, the food was delicious. Dad loved the calamari appetizers! After dinner there was a dessert table with cheesecake, brownies, and lots of other yummy desserts. The cake was made by Chantilly Cakes and had a vintage topper that was passed down to Megan. As a surprise from Megan to Jesse, and to fit with the vintage theme, a cigar girl wearing a vintage dress was there handing out cigars as favors to the guests. Many of the guests wore vintage-style outfits as well.

Megan and Jesse’s wedding was a ton of laughs, from “Jorge” making his appearance in the wedding gown to antique risque playing cards hiding in places throughout the reception. Dad had a blast! Megan and Jesse are just awesome and we are so happy we got to be a part of their day. Thanks so much Megan and Jesse! We wish you tons of happiness in your lives together and you better keep in touch!

Yes, location of marriage is listed as McDonalds
