Boho Rooftop Downtown St. Pete Wedding | Red Mesa Events

“Our inspiration was centered around intimacy while keeping things simple and elegant. We decided on a simple boho, romantic theme. Nothing seemed more perfect to us than starting our wedding off with a rooftop ceremony during the ‘golden hour' and ending it with a rooftop reception that was well lit by city lights, candles, and a neon sign,” the bride detailed. “Our colors were terracotta/rust with accents of gold and greenery. I really love earth tones, and we both love fall. They were the perfect colors to help bring both elements to our wedding.”

Jewel Toned Winter Wedding Inspiration | The West Events Space

“I wanted to showcase a winter wedding theme in a more funky, dark, moody yet beautiful way. Given a December date, I chose to get out of the typical winter wonderland theme and instead focus on more modern, dark, and crisp details,” the wedding planner explained. “[Our colors were] emerald green, black, copper, and white. Showcasing the emerald green was most important with the contrast of black and copper. I utilized copper instead of gold to show a different type of metal that can pair with emerald. The jewel tones truly popped with the darker black details.”

Vibrant, Tropical Destination Wedding | Hilton Clearwater Beach

“[Our wedding inspiration was] bright and vibrant colors to create a laid-back, but classy atmosphere for our guests. We wanted to go with colors that we love, versus what's really trendy currently,” Heather shared. “We both love the color blue and knew we had to incorporate it; Michelle's favorite color is orange which was used for the florals.”

Luxurious Outdoor Tented Sarasota Wedding | Powel Crosley Estate

“I'd describe our wedding theme as a mix between classic and tropical. We chose it because we like clean, classic styles, but we also wanted to add some fun tropical touches because of the scenery at our venue,” the bride shared. “We included a lot of whites, neutrals, and greenery and then some pops of color in the table floral arrangements which had pink and peach tropical flowers. I've always loved mixing metals, so we included both gold and silver touches in the decor.”

White, Silver, and Black Winter-Inspired Downtown Tampa Wedding | Tampa River Center

“Originally our theme was inspired by The Secret Garden with the lush springtime roses and soaring floral gates, however, once my bridal gown was chosen we redirected the theme to an all-white winter wedding with hints of dusty rose peeking through,” the bride explained. “Our final design was inspired by the glitter of shimming white and silver of the winter's snow and white roses to encapsulate our classic style as a couple. We wanted a classic and romantic winter wedding so we selected white, silver, black, and a hint of dusty rose wish with lush florals.”

Luxurious Art Deco Inspired Downtown St. Pete Wedding | Renaissance Vinoy

“Nicole and Korey originally came to me with a concept of ‘Royal Glam Gatsby' to honor the Renaissance Vinoy’s history and their love of the 1920s. They were struggling with a way to incorporate Nicole’s love of lush florals and their desire to include wine tones into a classic Art Deco style of black and gold and clean lines,” wedding planner and designer John Campbell, owner of John Campbell Weddings, shared. “Looking at the design elements they were drawn to, I introduced them to the world of Art Nouveau, and it was like a puzzle piece slotting right into place. An Art Nouveau-inspired wedding brought the elegance, glam, and intricate detail one might associate with a royal wedding while honoring the history of their venue and allowing them to have a floral-forward design with a more colorful palette.”

Modern Black and White Tampa Wedding | Davis Island Garden Club

“We went with modern, romantic glam. We love candlelight, and my favorite flower is the rose. I’m a bit of a minimalist, but I love ‘extra,' so a clean, classy theme was right up my alley!” the bride gushed. “Our colors were white with a few hints of black plus mirror and acrylic accents. We just love the clean palette and thought it felt very black tie and elegant!”

Whimsical Jewel-Toned Dade City Wedding | Venue at the Block

“Our wedding theme was eclectic and whimsical. My husband and I are very relaxed people so having a super formal and uniform wedding was not something we ever pictured for ourselves. I was inspired by all things spring when deciding the theme for the wedding. I really wanted the décor to be something upbeat, quirky, and lively. I used Marry Me Tampa Bay to seek out unique wedding venues and explore pictures to see what sort of vibe and theme would best complement the style of my husband and myself,” the bride shared. “Our colors included rich gem tones that were complemented by golden yellow, terra cotta, and soft pinks. I chose these colors based on our wedding flowers; the flowers were the first thing I had planned out, and I wanted to complement the rich florals.”

Southern Vintage Private Estate Wedding | Legacy Lane Weddings

“Our theme was southern vintage. We chose it because it incorporates both our personalities and styles. I love everything historic and antique, while Tyler has always been a southern gentleman,” the bride beamed. “Our colors were lavender, peach, and blush. We went with spring colors.”
