Luxurious Tropical Downtown St. Pete Wedding | The Vinoy Renaissance
Ahyoung and Lamont’s downtown St. Pete wedding was a tropical paradise filled with luxurious white orchids and rich dark-green florals.
“Even though we had a fall wedding, we still wanted the colors and theme to be very representative of Florida, where we met each other and fell in love. I looked through reviews and other weddings published on Marry Me Tampa Bay for inspiration,” the bride shared. “The large green palm fronds and monstera leaves provided the tropical feel of Florida, and the silver accents and touches completed the look by making everything feel a bit more trendy and modern.”

Modern Tropical St. Pete Beach Destination Wedding | The Don CeSar
Roseann and Paul’s destination St. Pete Beach wedding brought to life a modern take on tropical elegance with a color palette of white, gold, and blush.
“Our theme was a mixture of modern and tropical. I like clean lines and design, but I also didn’t want the room to feel cold, so I was conscious not to go overly modern,” the bride explained. “The tropical part I definitely wanted to incorporate given we were doing a destination wedding! It definitely is a different feel than us New Yorkers are used to seeing all the time, so I knew our guests would appreciate that.”
“I wanted my wedding cake to stick with our theme of tropical elegance and incorporate our colors, as well as our invite. The Artistic Whisk did a phenomenal job capturing our vision and even had real orchids coming down the side of the cake. It was perfect!” Roseann added.

For the details, we wanted to incorporate a little bit of a travel theme with Earthy elements of driftwood, succulents, rose quartz, amethysts, and agate slices.”
To complement their personal style, the bride and groom chose a geode wedding cake design, that looked as good as it tasted.
“Crystals, rocks, and gems are common decor of our house and interest to us,” Kailah explained. “The Artistic Whisk had so many delicious flavors, it was hard to choose! Many compliments on the cake!”
