SEMI In Love...

Today, I posted a photo on Facebook (see above) with two of my favorite things {LOVE & Tiffany's}.  I love these types of photos and this photo really inspired me.  As a wedding planner, I've had the rare privilege to witness so many AMAZING love stories.  Through photography, these intimate moments live on forever; reminding us each and every day of the timeless beauty of love.  Today, I am sharing some of my favorite photos of my couples whose love speaks beyond words. Reminding us LOVE transcends over time...

Groom's Cake | Rehearsal Dinner

We really enjoyed working with Maryclare and Rob.  They were such a beautiful couple and after listening to their Best Man and Matron and Maid of Honor toasts, it was easy to see that everyone else felt the same way about these two remarkable individuals.  Maryclare's style was pure elegance.  Throughout the year of planning, Maryclare's original vision was slightly altered and we incorporated an elegant tropical feeling to the day.  Her color combination was cranberry and sand.  With the backdrop of the magnificent Lowe's Don Cesar Hotel on St. Petersburg Beach, the weekend was a celebration of love that began with their intimate ceremony on the steps in the Courtyard.  Everything came together flawlessly.


The bride's bouquet was made of of white Cymbidium Orchids with a slight cascade.  The bridesmaids bouquets consisted of pink hydrangeas and pink Cymbidium orchids, they complimented the dresses just beautifully!  The groom and groomsmen wore coordinating Cymbidium Orchid blooms.  


The tables for the reception were dressed in Champagne Lamour linens with a coordinating napkin in a pocket fold holding the menu card. Greenery was placed in the center of the table where three varying heights of floating candles rested on top with bold beautiful flower buds tucked around with flickering votives. The guests enjoyed a four course meal beginning with a Lobster Wellington with Chive Lobster Butter and ended with a variety of chocolates, truffles and chocolate covered strawberries!  The food was superb followed by their wedding cake which was delicious and stunning! 


As the reception concluded, guests filled small pastry boxes with muffins, bagels, and danishes to take with them and enjoy in the morning!  It was a wonderful day to begin the rest of their lives!  Thank you Maryclare and Rob for choosing Stonehouse Events to help you make your wedding day dreams come true!  We had a pleasure working with you both and wish you all of the best in your future together!

The Happy Couple

We had the pleasure of helping Jen and Brandon plan their intimate destination wedding at the lovely SandPearl Resort on Clearwater Beach!  We loved Jen's soft palette of pastels with soft blue, green, lavender, peach, yellow and pink.  Jen's style is best described as casual beach elegance.  For their intimate beach ceremony, we had a unique idea to incorporate a canvas backdrop of flowers, which still allowed the guests to witnessing the nuptials and still enjoy the view of the beach.  It was just gorgeous!  The flower girl held a small purse of spray roses as she made her way down the aisle.  The bride's bouquet was full of lush peonies, cabbage roses and sweet peas.  So romantic and dreamy!

At the reception, each table scape was full of flowers, floating candles and soft sea shells resting on the soft pale blue Crushed Romance linen with Crystal Clear Chiavari Chairs gathered around!  It was just stunning!  
The dinner was AMAZING as  guests enjoyed Seasonal Ravioli with Chardonnay Butter Fondue and Tomato Basil Jus as their Appetizer, followed by the Salad course made up of Romaine Hearts Pulled Croutons, Parmesan Dressing & Reggiano Tuille.  The Main Entrée was Filet Mignon with Cabernet Demi Glace & Pan Roasted Grouper with Lemon Beurre Blanc with Cheddar Potato Gratin and a fresh Vegetable Bundle.  For dessert there was wedding cake and an assortment of Vienesse Desserts.

It was a beautiful day for a beach wedding!  Thank you Jen and Brandon for choosing Stonehouse Events to help make your wedding day dreams come true!  We had a pleasure working with you both and wish you all of the best in your future together!
