From Karen Harrison Photography… Francesca and Corey were married in a beautiful beachside ceremony at the Hyatt Regency on Clearwater Beach, Florida.  Their lovely decor consisted of simple and elegant hues of turquoise and neutrals.  The bride’s bouquet was a beautiful creation with starfish mixed into the florals.  This was an intimate gathering of family and friends who traveled from as far as Europe to celebrate with the couple.

And when you start to pull back all the layers of this gorgeous seaside soiree, you slowly begin to realize you are looking at prettiness defined. And it doesn’t get better than that. See it all here.

 

From Paige Lowe Photography… The Bruey’s got married in gorgeous Tampa Bay Florida at the Rusty Pelican Restaurant. The pink and white hues contrasted beautifully with the deep blues of the ocean back ground and the couple could not have looked happier! From the cute beer coozie party favors, to the softball accents and gator goodies, this wedding was personalized to the University of Florida alum and sport lovers perfectly.

When piecing together her perfect day, this beautiful bride knew exactly what she wanted.  A soft color palette of pale pinks, a breathtaking Spanish-styled backdrop and a traditional Catholic ceremony in honor of her father.  And when those three ingredients came together in her stunning Sarasota affair, magic happened.  Heartwarming, beyond gorgeous, light-filled magic all captured in glorious images by Leijea Photography and planned to absolute perfection by Sarah Tucker Events.  See every last moment in the full gallery.

 

From the Bride… I have a very simple and classic style with an appreciation for all things romantic. My perfect day would consist of pale hues in a beautiful old Spanish-style church and venue. My lace dress along with my cathedral veil in a beautiful Catholic ceremony were a testament to my love of tradition and all in honor of my Dad, who had always hoped to walk me down the aisle but unfortunately is no longer with us. At the South Florida Museum, large bunches of babies breath on the tables along with the mercury glass and votives were such complimentary pieces to the wrought iron gates, bold wooden doors, and ornate Spanish architecture. Upon our first look at the reception in its completed state, we could only think that it was all we had hoped for; our dreams played out right in front of our eyes. As the sun set, the glow of the twinkling stringing lights above our heads was incredibly beautiful and made for such a lovely night under the stars.
