Downtown St. Pete Boho Picnic Elopement | Wild Roots
“The theme was boho and free-spirited. We wanted to stick with a more neutral palette with lots of greenery to not take away from all of the plants and nature existing at the venue. We had so much fun designing a boho picnic for our couple to enjoy after the ceremony. A picnic is such a unique and fun way to celebrate after your elopement or intimate wedding.” – Emily and Melanie, Elope Tampa Bay

Modern Tropical Green and White St. Pete Wedding | NOVA 535
“Our theme was tropical and natural, sultry and romantic, and lush and moody, with a hint of boho in our furniture rentals. We have always loved tropical greenery and felt like it was a timeless look that we could always look back on still be in love with. We actually chose to do no colors and neutrals only, aside from the tropical greenery in our florals. We went for champagne and cream for linens with gold accents and literally no actual flowers, just greenery only!” -The Bride

Bridgerton-Inspired Victorian Wedding Inspiration | Covington Farm
“The theme of this shoot was whimsical Victorian. We wanted to showcase a wedding full of whimsy with colorful details and blooming florals. This was for the couples who are looking for that classical, old romance inspiration. Our color palette consisted of soft tones such as peach, pink, white, lavender, green, and gold. We wanted this to be colorful and playful but also quite delicate.” -Annah Tarallo, owner of Everlasting Affairs

Organic Meets Modern Opposites Attract Wedding Inspiration | Sal Y Mar Events
“The theme for this stylized shoot was ‘Opposites Attract.' After touring the new Sal Y Mar Events at the Aloft/Element hotel, I quickly realized that it was a ‘two brands under one roof' concept. The Element is more natural, organic, and spa-like. The color scheme combines light shades of blues and greens with neutral tones and natural wood. On the other hand, the Aloft is urban, high style, and whimsical. The color scheme combines blacks, silvers, and rich pops of color, such as royal blue, magenta, and mustard yellow. The juxtaposition of these two polar opposite styles inspired me to imagine a couple that is just as contrasted but is brought together by love,” -Staci Mandikas, wedding planner and designer of UNIQUE Weddings + Events

Romantic 1920’s Inspired South Tampa Wedding | The Anderson House
“The theme for this shoot was inspired by the art nouveau period of the early '20s. I chose it as soon as I walked into the venue for a tour. It’s consistent with the home's history and just felt perfect. The color palette was blush and lavender with a contrasting jewel-toned green. The pinks and lavenders lend themselves to the romantic feel I wanted and show along with the home's beautiful dark wood moldings and green walls.” -Karen Cerboni, EventFull Weddings

Black and White Modern Winter Inspired Wedding Shoot | White Rock Canyon
“This theme can be described as a Florida-inspired winter. I thought it would be a good idea to showcase that you can still have a very romantic and winter feel to your day, even if it's in a traditionally warm place. When I think of winter, I think of snow, so I wanted to create that feeling through our colors. I wanted the white to really pop and the black accent helped bring out that color even more.” -Delaney Driver, Wilder Mind Events

Wine Country Inspired South Tampa Wedding | Oxford Exchange
“Since we originally looked into wine country, that’s where a lot of the inspiration came in from, really rich, deep colors that would play off the landscape and keep in time with the season We had shades of cabernet, gold, sage green, cream, and little pops of pale pink and navy. Walking into the main dining room after the ceremony, I couldn’t hold in my excitement. The way it came together with the rentals and the colors…I wish I could keep it all forever!” -The Bride

Waterfront Pink Spring Tampa Wedding | Davis Islands Garden Club
“The main driving design factor for our wedding was it being spring; that really influenced our color palette. The flowers were the star of the show for me! I wanted some bright pops of color. We had bright pink peonies, hot pink garden roses, light pink Mondial roses, orange ranunculus, and cream ranunculus with greenery. They were the flowers straight out of my dreams! I will forever be swooning over them.” -The Bride

Vibrant Pink and Gold Fairytale Wedding | The Don CeSar
“I grew up regularly going to Disney World. We didn’t want a traditional Disney wedding but still wanted to capture the enchanting and romantic feel of a fairytale wedding. The Don CeSar is known as “The Pink Palace,” so it was a perfect match. Our colors were pink and gold. The pink coordinated with the Don, and the gold was an accent color for some added elegance. We both love vibrant colors, so It was important to us to have a palette with a pop instead of the traditional neutral bridal palette.” -The Bride
