Wedding at the Grand Plaza: Jodi and Greg

In Florida you can have a beach wedding in December and the weather is still beautiful!  Jodi and Greg were married at the beautiful Grand Plaza.  Their ceremony was on the beach with Reverend Tom Greene as the officiant.  Heather of Rose Garden Florist was the florist and the beach theme continued with the wedding cake made by Cakes by Carolynn.

Every time Jodi and Greg looked at each other you could see how in love they are.  They had the happiest smiles all day and they enjoyed every moment of their wedding.  Jason loved being there to share in the celebration.  Congratulations Jodi and Greg!  We hope the happiness from your wedding day grows throughout your marriage!

Wedding at the Grand Plaza: Stick a Fork in Kristy and Lee, They’re Done!

Kristy and Lee were married at the Grand Plaza Resort which is always a favorite of Jason’s.  Kristy had the talented Cari of Kyle Lynn Cosmetics there for hair and makeup.  The florist was the wonderful Heather of The Rose Garden and at the reception Josh of Expert Productions was the DJ and the beautiful cake was from A Piece of Cake.

It is always great when couples make their wedding day unique and meaningful to them as a couple.  When Kristy and Lee got engaged they thought the phrase “Stick a fork in me, I’m done!” fit their situation so well that they decided to make it the theme of their wedding!  There were forks of all styles and sizes throughout the day!  The ring bearer carried a giant fork, there was a fork ice sculpture, a fork on the cake topper, seating cards being held by forks, forks holding hands, and beautifully engraved Mr. and Mrs. forks.  Kristy, Lee, and their guests celebrated and had a terrific time.

Congratulations Kristy and Lee!  You two are far from done; this is just the beginning of a new adventure!

Wedding at the Dolphin Beach Resort: Samantha and Christian

Dad photographed Samantha and Christian’s beautiful engagement session at Honeymoon Island.  They had their beach wedding at Dolphin Beach Resort and it was a beautiful day!  Samantha wore a gorgeous one-shoulder gown with rhinestone embellishments on the strap.  Bridesmaids wore dresses that were coral in color to match the pink and orange wedding colors.  Many of the flowers were orchids and Heather from Rose Garden Florist put those together.  At the reception guests rocked out to the band Roctopus who were a lot of fun and inspired many great dances moves that night.

Samantha, Christian, and their wedding party had a blast on the wedding day!  Dad loved that they were all up for anything.  When doing some of the wedding party pictures they spotted a muscle builder on the beach.  One of the groomsmen approached him and asked him to be in a picture and before dad knew it the guy had lifted a bridesmaid up with one arm while he made muscle poses!  You never know what is going to happen when you get married on the beach during the busy summer season:)

Congratulations Samantha and Christian!  You had such a fun wedding and we hope the fun continued in Cabo!

Wedding at the Sheraton Sand Key: Katie and Steve

Spring in Florida means beautiful weather for beach weddings!  Katie and Steve were married at the wonderful Sheraton Sand Key Resort.  The wedding had a beach theme with starfish decorating the aisle chairs, sand dollars for guests to write wishes for the bride and groom, and lots of bright tropical flowers from Rose Garden Florist.  Alexis of 2Birds Events was the couple’s wedding planner and did a great job organizing the details and making sure the day ran smoothly.  At the ceremony the couple had Debbie of A Florida Wedding Ceremony as the officiant.  They exchanged vows under a bamboo arch decorated with draping and floral sprays on the corners.  The reception was lots of fun with guests dancing the night away.  Frank Lebano was terrific as the couple’s DJ.

Dad said Katie and Steve were an awesome couple and he had a great time sharing their day with them.  Congratulations to the newlyweds on their wonderful beach wedding!

Wedding at the Grand Plaza: Rebecca and Jeff

Rebecca and Jeff had their wedding at the always wonderful Grand Plaza Hotel on St. Pete Beach.  The couple came down from Canada to enjoy the beautiful weather of Florida in the fall.  Mom fell in love with Rebecca’s Badgley Mischka silver Randall shoes!  Gorgeous!!  Rebecca’s gown with the delicate beaded lace straps that crossed in the open back was stunning as well.  Jeff looked great in his gray suit and checked purple shirt with purple tie too.  Rose Garden Florist did the flowers for the wedding, Joe of Expert Productions was the DJ, and the cake was made by Cakes by Carolyn.  Congratulations Rebecca and Jeff!  We hope your honeymoon cruise was as much fun than your wedding day!
