Ashley and Nate, a Romantic Winter Wedding

Ashley and Nate's wedding yesterday was a winter inspired wedding but with a unique color scheme of jewel-toned greens and golds at the Rusty Pelican in Tampa. The ceremony was held at Sacred Heart in downtown Tampa. The reception centerpieces by Botanica were beautiful curly willow branches and gold flowers with hanging votives. This branches motif was carried through on their placecard table, programs, and even cake design. They also are true gator fans and represented my alma mater well with a gator ice sculpture and a gator fight song reception entrance. The favors were adorable - Ashley and her friends created hot cocoa mix in little jars and they looked delicious! We got to work with DJ Doug Decker of Grant Hemond and Associates again which was great, and Jason Angelini was the photographer and of course we always enjoy working with him! Ashley and her bridesmaids looked amazing in their gowns from CC's Boutique and their hair and makeup was done by the talented Darla Stafford. Ashley and Nate are a wonderful couple who were very laid back the entire day, it didn't even phase Ashley when she saw a homeless man escorted out of the church minutes before she was going to walk down the aisle! Here are some pics I took on my camera throughout the day. Ashley and Nate, we wish you the best in your future and marriage - and we truly hope your honeymoon hotel has satellite so you can see the gators in the National Championship game on Thursday. :)
