FEATURING
Brooke and Brady’s boho Clearwater Beach wedding was a serene celebration of love and natural beauty, blending soft neutral tones of taupe and ivory, a breathtaking beach backdrop, and the joyful presence of friends and family from around the world.
“We went with a bohemian style for our wedding,” the bride shared. “Our colors were soft neutrals, and I chose them because they are my favorite colors right now.”
The Oakland couple wanted a relaxed, natural vibe for their Florida wedding and selected Clearwater Beach to embody the carefree spirit they envisioned. They embraced an earthy, laid-back style that paired perfectly with the location, allowing nature to enhance their memorable day.
“We live in Oakland, Florida, and we chose Clearwater because we wanted a beach wedding,” the bride explained. “We incorporated our personality with everything that looked natural and easy.”
Finding the perfect venue was essential. The couple sought a location that balanced beauty and affordability without sacrificing elegance. The Wyndham Grand Clearwater Beach delivered just that, making it an ideal choice for the couple, who were impressed with the hotel’s renowned beachfront views and exceptional service.
“We looked for something affordable and beautiful,” the bride revealed. “We chose the Wyndham Grand Clearwater Beach because it had the best beach view, and we knew their service was great!”
“Brooke and Brady’s wedding was an absolute joy to plan. Their vision for a boho-inspired celebration came together beautifully, with the soft, neutral tones blending seamlessly into the coastal backdrop of the Gulf. The ceremony on the beach, framed by a picturesque sand dune, set the stage for a serene, natural ambiance that was both elevated and effortlessly chic,” Kayla Bell, Wyndham Grand Clearwater Beach Conference Services Manager, beamed. “I especially loved their use of natural wood accents and the adorable donut wall, which added such a fun, unique touch to their reception. It was truly a stunning celebration that captured the spirit of our resort and the couple.”
Their intimate ceremony took place on the sugary sand beach, framed by a geometric wooden arch draped with soft florals, and pampas grass, all blending seamlessly with the setting’s natural palette. With the waves gently rolling behind them and 30 cherished guests looking on, the bride and groom exchanged vows in an atmosphere of serene beauty. This picturesque setting, coupled with the pristine Gulf views, created a timeless and unforgettable experience, made even more special by loved ones who traveled from around the world to celebrate with them.
“What made our wedding unique was having guest from four different countries!” the bride beamed.
For their reception, the Pelican Room offered the perfect backdrop for the couple’s laid-back, boho-inspired celebration. Thoughtful decor, including pampas grass and carefully chosen florals in soft, neutral tones, set an inviting ambiance. Brooke and Brady enjoyed their evening from a sweetheart table with charming rattan peacock chairs, while guests delighted in a vibrant, multicolored donut wall. With delectable cuisine, a top priority for the couple, the night became a truly memorable experience for everyone.
Brooke radiated in a corset-bodice, lace gown with off-the-shoulder sleeves, exuding effortless elegance as her wavy hair cascaded down, topped with a delicate flower crown. Her bridal makeup was soft and natural, perfectly suiting the relaxed, beachy vibe. To create her natural boho look, the bride turned to Femme Akoi Beauty Studio.
“My wedding hair and makeup inspiration was a bohemian style I found on Pinterest,” the bride recalled. “I chose Femme Akoi Beauty Studio for my makeup after a recommendation and checking out their work on social media.”
As the reception drew to a close, the newlyweds shared one final, magical moment with their guests. Friends and family lined up with sparklers in hand, creating a glistening tunnel of light for the couple’s send-off as they walked hand-in-hand through the shimmering path.
“The most memorable moments for us was taking pics with our friends in the photo booth and dancing on the dance floor,” the bride reminisced.

What advice would you give to other Tampa Bay couples?
Don’t drink to much, invite the people you truly love, and make sure if you have a dress code to tell them also not just on the card because not everyone will read it! My biggest mistake is that I had one guest wear a blue shirt when it was a cream and all-white wedding dress code!
