Wedding at the Sirata: Lucy and Michael

Lucy and Mike were married at the Sirata in a ceremony on the deck overlooking the beach.  The couple had a first look before the ceremony and then did wedding party and family pictures as well.  They had many Jewish traditions as part of their wedding day, including the signing of the Ketubah just before the ceremony began.  After the ceremony ended Jason got a few more pictures of the bride and groom together, ending with sunset on the beach.  The reception was decorated with linens in deep blue and white flowers.  The wedding colors were dark blue and white with some accents of apple green.  There were even green apples as the seating assignments to really bring the accent color out!  Lucy wore blue shoes and Mike also matched the wedding colors with his blue and green striped bowtie.  I love bowties at weddings!  Flowers were from The Bride’s Bouquet and included lots of baby’s breath bunches which look gorgeous in arrangements.  Sword Sounds was at the reception to get the guests dancing.  There was a photo booth with lots of fun props from Tampa Bay Photo Booths.  Beer koozie favors became props and wrist bands too as Lucy and Mike’s guests let loose and enjoyed the party!  The wedding cake was from Publix.

Congratulations to Lucy and Mike! Salute and Mazel Tov!

Wedding at the Sirata: Charity and Jason

We are so happy for Charity and Jason!  They are terrific people and we were excited to be part of their wedding day at the Sirata.  Their wedding colors were purple and green with flowers from Delma’s, the Flower Booth.  Charity’s bouquet had some feathers added in which was a pretty touch.  Charity started her day early in the morning with Lili’s Weddings for hair and makeup.  The ceremony was on the deck facing the beach and Rabbi Baseman was the officiant.  It was a beautiful Jewish ceremony made even more special by including the couple’s two boys.  At the reception there were linens from Connie Duglin and the wedding cake was from All About Sweets.

It was a fun and happy day for an awesome family.  Jason loved being there to share it with the couple and all of their guests.  Congratulations to the newlyweds and we hope to see your family again for biking or a play date!

Rusty Pelican Wedding: Michelle and Bryan

Michelle and Bryan had a beautiful bright spring wedding at the Rusty Pelican in Tampa.  Their florist, La Vie en Rose, used oranges, yellows, reds, and purples to make their day colorful and fun.  Felix the DJ brought pink uplighting to the reception which added to the colorful day and guests were treated to a view of the pretty orange sunset through the reception room’s windows.  The couple had Rabbi Baseman as the officiant and dad always enjoys his cheerfulness.  Cakes by Nomeda made the wedding cake which was decorated with silver dots and topped by big blooming flowers.  Moms favorite detail was the red flowers inside of glass ornaments which hung from trees strung with crystals and more bright flowers.  Everything came together wonderfully!

Congratulations Michelle and Bryan!  We hope your married life is just like your wedding day, bright, beautiful, and fun!

Don CeSar Wedding: Daron and Jim

Daron and Jim had a beautiful wedding at the Don CeSar on St. Pete beach.  They are a really sweet couple and deserved their special day.  Dad was happy to work with Jennifer of A Friend of the Bride again.  She was the couple’s wedding planner and she always does a wonderful job.  Linny Correa with Colours by Linny was there for beauty services.  Amy of Not From a Box made the beautiful stationary including the invitations, programs, menus, and table cards.  Daron and Jim’s flowers were done by Apple Blossoms Floral Design and Gifts and mom loved the crystals hanging off of the ceremony arrangements.  Rob Sword from Sword Sounds is an awesome DJ and had the guests partying.  Well, Rob AND the martini luge!  The linens at the reception were from Linens by the Sea and the talented bakers at Chocolate Pi made the couple’s cake.

Congratulations Daron and Jim!  Thanks for having dad there to share in your wedding celebration!

Daron was a stunning bride!
