Liz and Ivano’s Clearwater Beach wedding was filled with New Year’s Eve glam.

Their intimate destination wedding was the perfect getaway for their friends and family from the Big Apple.
 
The sophisticated New Year’s Eve black and white color palate had plenty of POP with the infusion of metallics throughout the wedding day.
 
Liz looked stunning in her luxurious form-fitting wedding gown. Her spectacular bridal bouquet of tropical anthurium and orchids was entwined with a touch of whimsical grapevine.

And, what says classic glam better than arriving at your wedding in a vintage white Rolls Royce?  
 
Surrounded by family and friends, the couple exchanged rings and wedding vows in a traditional Catholic Nuptial Mass.

Following their wedding ceremony, the couple and wedding party headed off from of beachside photos.

Wedding guests were serenaded by the moody sounds of a solo saxophone as they returned to the Opal Sands for cocktail hour on the Event Lawn.
 
Inside, the resort’s ballroom was decked out in old-school glam. An oversized black and white checkerboard dancefloor filled the center of the room.

The dancefloor was framed by a lounge area mixing sleek white leather sofas, modern metallic tables, and lush organic floral arrangements.
 
The room was filled with an eclectic mix of round and long reception tables, moving out from the dancefloor.  

Black linens and clear acrylic chairs allowed the bold white floral centerpieces to pop. Metallic vases, candleholders, and gold flatware added sparkle to the tablescape.
 
The newlyweds kicked off the celebration with their first dance to “Lover” by Taylor Swift.

​The evening continued with touching toast and a delicious multi-course dinner. 
 
Personalized touches filled the evening. From the cigar bar with custom matches, adorable napkins with their dog, Mia Sophia, to some of the couple’s favorite midnight snacks like Truffle Mac and Cheese, Mini Pretzels, and Queso. 
 
And, no New Year’s Eve wedding would be complete without some New Year’s Eve swag like 2022 hats, glasses, and glow sticks.

Wedding guests packed the dance floor and rang in the New Year with Liz and Ivano to the sounds of Frank Sinatra’s New York, New York!

​
Bee and Phil’s wedding story was a long time in the making. 
 
It began with Phil’s proposal in Positano, on the Amalfi Coast, in December of 2018.

This was followed by their engagement party at the Chandler Hill Vineyards in St. Louis in June of 2019. 

Their original wedding date was for October 2020. However, COVID changed those plans. 
 
So, our Jennifer Matteo Event Planning team could not have been happier for them when they were finally able to come together with family and friends in an incredible 3-day celebration!
 
Their spectacular wedding weekend began Thursday night with a traditional Sangeet.

This welcome party on the Ritz Carlton Lawn was filled with music, dance performances by family and friends, Mehendi, and incredible food stations.

It was amazing to see everyone come together to honor this sweet couple.
 
The second day began with ritual Mameru and Haldi ceremonies. The beautiful bride was presented with gifts of sweets, clothing, and jewelry.

This was followed by the bride and groom-to-be receiving purifying turmeric scrubs. 

After some time to change into their beautiful wedding attire, the couple had their first look and a photo session at The Ringling before their wedding ceremony. 
 
The wedding celebration began with Phil’s Baraat. His arrival in a Lamborghini was followed by a welcome by Bee’s family, the arrival of the bride, and their wedding ceremony on a spectacular mandap.

The mandap was the perfect blending of a new, modern structure with the elegnce of greenery, lush floral embellishments and a crystal chandelier with more traditional South  Asian symbolism.

The wedding ceremony was followed by Mocktails, Hors d’oeuvres, dinner, and more dancing.
 
Saturday was dedicated to a more western style wedding reception in the Ritz Carlton’s ballroom.

The evening began with the couple’s first dance, parent dances, special performances by the bridesmaids and groomsmen, and several toasts before dinner.
 
The entire weekend was a luxurious pairing of tradition and modern elegance.

​Each event had its own color story and design concept. The tablescapes, linens, lounge furnishings, and personal details reflected that evening’s events but blended seamlessly for an elegant three-day wedding.
