Wedding at the Davis Islands Garden Club: Sharon and Lawrence and the Butterflies

“Beautiful and graceful, varied and enchanting, small but approachable, butterflies lead you to the sunny side of life.  And everyone deserves a little sunshine.”  -Jeffrey Glassberg

Sharon and Larry had a beautiful garden style wedding with butterflies every where!  They had so many great details combining their colors of orange and pink with their butterfly theme.  Simply Divine Events was their wedding planner and helped put together a great day at the Davis Islands Garden Club.  Amy of Not From a Box made the stationary.  The flowers were done by Events in Bloom and looked gorgeous!  At the reception, Inspire Entertainment was the DJ and the pretty butterfly cake was made by Cakes by Nomeda.

Dad had a blast with this amazing couple.  He says they are all going to head out to the Beer Shed for a get together one night soon:).  Congratulations Sharon and Larry!


Wedding at the Magnolia Building: Kyla and Corey

What a beautiful wedding!  Kyla and Corey were married last Sunday at the Magnolia Building in Lakeland.  The couple’s wedding planner was Entertaining Designers and they did a terrific job helping Kyla and Corey with their chocolate and pink decor and all their gorgeous details.

There was a kids table low to the ground with lots of fun toys and pretty pinwheels and big pink and brown pillows to sit on.  The sign on the table said, “I Don’t Want to Grow Up” which mom thought was cute.

The linens were just beautiful.  The linens on the guest tables were smooth, but on the other tables they were textured with a criss-cross pattern.  Mom loved the linens!

There were candles everywhere, especially in the fireplace where the ceremony took place, and the ceiling was decorated with hanging paper lanterns in shades of pink.

The spoons for the candy table had hearts on the handle which was a really cute touch.  There were chocolate bars with pink and brown wrappers personalized with Kyla and Corey’s name.  For guests without a sweet tooth, there was pretty teas and soaps to take.

Flowers by Edith was the florist and did an amazing job.  The centerpieces were raised on tall candelabras with tall pink candles and soft green moss hanging from the flowers.  The shorter centerpieces alternated between flowers set in green leaves with pink fern accents in nice bowls and thick candles in a glass enclosed lantern with greenery around the bottom.

And the cake was awesome!  It was like a pink tree decorated with flowers on a chocolate colored stand.  It was so unique!  The baker was SweetCakes.

Inspire Entertainment was the DJ and dad enjoyed working with him again.  Josh even had pink lights to go with the wedding theme.

Dad got to see Erin and Eric again!  They are a wonderful couple that had there wedding 2 years ago at the Magnolia Building as well.  Dad said he was happy to see you both again and he hopes you stay in touch!

Kyla and Corey thought of so many little details that made the day beautiful.  Thank you both so much for having us there to capture all of it!  You are great people and we wish you all the best!


Desiree and Ryan

On Friday Dad went to the Don Vicente in Ybor City to photograph Desiree and Ryan’s wedding. Desiree was truly stunning!  She looked absolutely gorgeous in her gown.  Amber from the Michele Renee Hair and Makeup Artist Group was there before dad arrived to help Desiree get ready.  Dad thought Desiree’s tattoo was pretty cool.

Desiree and Ryan decided to see each other before the ceremony and were able to finish most of their pictures then so their family and friends were able to enjoy the cocktail hour.

Jackie from Table Six Productions was the couple’s coordinator.  Mom liked the idea to block off the doorway during the ceremony.

Dad said that Ryan and Desiree were such nice people, and fun to be around too!  Mom thinks their smiles look so genuine and full of joy.  Josh from Inspire Entertainment was great as the DJ for the reception.

The cake, made by Cakes by Nomeda, looked too yummy for some people to resist!

After the reception Dad, Desiree, and Ryan went for a walk around Ybor. Being Friday night there were a lot of people there to congratulate the newlyweds. They were a fun and adventurous couple and dad had a blast with them.

Congratulations Desiree and Ryan!  Have a great time on your European honeymoon!
