​Located in Tampa's historic Hyde Park neighborhood, The Orlo, built-in 1896, was the perfect setting for Christine and Blake's beautiful wedding. And our Jennifer Matteo Event Planning team was thrilled to be part of their day.
 
The ladies took full advantage of the ready room and beautiful setting at The Orlo.

They spent the morning getting ready and taking some incredible photos around the property.

The guys took a slightly more modern approach, getting ready at Marriott Water street.
 
Christine and Blake chose hunter green and lots of fresh greenery as the principal design elements paired with pops of white and warm wood and gold accents.

The indoor wedding ceremony took full advantage of the rich dark wood floors, balancing them with a white fabric drape and lush greenery.

The Moon Gate wedding structure added a touch of modern detailing, wrapped in greenery with layers white floral.

The intimate wedding ceremony was broadcast online for family and friends who were not able to attend.
 
The cocktail hour included unique and personal touches. A lounge seating area created a comfortable place to gather while incorporating emerald green lounge furniture with gold and white accent pillows.

​Comfort foods included Mac N Cheese Cups and 'Cuban Cigars,' a play on Tampa's iconic Cuban Sandwiches.

As a nod to Texas family, the couple's signature cocktail was 'West Texas Ranch Water,' a combination of Tequila, Topo Chico Water, and Lime. Custom drink koozies added a bit of whimsey with the couple's wedding date and some cute sayings.
 
The reception décor combined rustic wooden tables with other tables draped in textured white linen.

Collections of high and low centerpieces added interest with lush greenery, pops of white flowers, gold accents, and lots of candlelight tying all of the looks together.
 
The couple made their grand entrance and took to the dancefloor to "This Will Be… an everlasting love!"

Wedding guests enjoyed a night filled with love, a delicious dinner buffet of comfort foods, and great music.

The newlyweds' love of a local bakery led them to include an intimate wedding cake surrounded by luscious cupcakes as a sweet treat to end their night.
 

For our Jennifer Matteo Event Planning team, the words beachy and Boho just seem to go together perfectly. And, we can’t think of a more fantastic location for a beachy-Boho wedding than beautiful Siesta Key.
 
Our team worked with Ashley and Tyler to blend these two beautiful styles into one incredibly luxurious wedding. After postponing their wedding twice in 2020 – their family and friends came together to celebrate one year after the initially scheduled wedding. After waiting nearly two years, they were finally able to have the wedding of their dreams.
 
The wedding color story incorporated blush, taupe, and coral with gold accents. Everything was kissed with color and eclectic elements, from their elegant custom invitation suite to the tiniest dessert detail.
 
The couple’s beach wedding ceremony was a mix of fantasy and function. They exchanged their wedding vows in front of a Moon Gate wedding structure accented with an explosion of pampas grass highlighted by brightly colored florals. Elegant natural wood chairs framed the aisle with rattan baskets of parasols available to shade wedding guests.
 
After exchanging wedding vows, the couple made their way up the aisle to “All You Need Is Love” by the Beatles. Heading off to the resort’s lawn for cocktail hour, guests were greeted by a one-of-a-kind champagne wall, bite-sized taste treats, and the sounds of a Sax and Bass Duo.
 
Their beachy-Boho wedding reception was picture perfect! Round tables were draped in soft blush linens, alongside long wooden farmhouse tables accented with blush fabric table runners. Eclectic vessels overflowed with grasses and blush, coral, and taupe florals. Gold rimmed charger plates, gold flatware, and blush glassware completed the stunning tablescapes.
 
Lighting set the mood for things to come. Tables were layered with candles under a canopy of twinkling market lights. Incredible rattan basket lights hung throughout the outdoor reception. As the sun began to set, the newlyweds took to the dancefloor for their first dance to “Lover of the Lights” by Mumford and Sons.
 
The night was filled with delicious food and lots of dancing as Ashley and Tyler brought lots of fun energy to their reception. And, what better way to cap off the night than some unique hand-crafted ice cream sandwiches.
