Our Jennifer Matteo Event Planning team had such an incredible time working with Sarah and Xavier on their Tampa wedding.

Hosting a wedding at a private residence can be a little different than starting with an empty wedding venue.

​In this case, we began by covering the pool to offer as much open space as possible.
 
For our couple and their wedding parties, the day began with each party getting ready. With Sarah and Xavier choosing not to have a First Look, they spent time on photos with their wedding parties.
 
One of our favorite parts of their wedding was that it was entirely designed in a neutral color palette! In working with soft earth tones, the wedding design is all about textures and unique elements.

From contrasting colors of the wedding program to the lush grasses and dried elements of the bouquets and ceremony décor, it was an explosion of texture and balancing tone on tone colors.
 
The ceremony space, arranged over the pool, was set with rich fruitwood chairs. The aisle was lined with floral arrangements that led to a unique architectural backdrop and unique floral creations.

It is easy to see how much Sarah and Xavier are in love as they exchange their wedding vows and rings in a touching ceremony surrounded by family and friends.
 
Following the wedding ceremony, guests enjoyed Cocktail Hour while the couple and family took photos.

The newlywed's portrait session included some fun pictures in the vintage Photo Bus – something their guests couldn't get enough of!
 
The waterfront reception space was created under a canopy of twinkling lights. The newlywed's sweetheart table sat at the head of the space with the couple seated under a custom-designed neon light.
 
Long wooden tables overflowed with unique vessels filled with soft grasses, dried natural elements, and textured flowers. Woven charger plates, gold flatware, and custom acrylic name cards completed the look.
 
The reception began with a toast by the evening's host, the Father of the Groom. A delicious multi-course dinner followed.

As the sunset, Sarah and Xavier took to the dance floor for their first dance to "Simply the Best," the Noah Reid version from Schitt's Creek.
 
The evening continued with parent dances and the cake cutting using a Navy Ceremonial Sword.

It also included a Cigar Bar with hand-rolled cigars and came to a close with the couple's Grand Exit under a shower of sparklers!
