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!

Jennifer Hsiung and David Shoemaker's wedding has been one of my all time favorites for so many reasons!  I loved working with them.  They are a beautiful couple, not only on the outside but on the inside as well.  Meetings with them were always fun because we would end up just laughing!  Their ceremony is still one of my favorites because of how intimate and sentimental it was.  The reception was a genuine celebration joining these two wonderful families.  I loved how David, the groom took the time to address every single guest who attended the wedding with a story or memory of them.  It was a beautiful day full of lasting memories, even for me!  Jennifer and David are an example of two people who are destined to be together and today, Valentine's Day was the PERFECT day to share their amazing LOVE Story!          

We are so thankful for the incredible team of vendors who helped make this day happen.  We want to say a special thank you to Brian and Brianna with Divine Light Photography who captured this absolutely AMAZING wedding!

Happy Valentine's Day!  We are thankful for all of the LOVE Stories that we have the pleasure to take part in and we look forward to sharing more!  


Love and Hugs,


Cindy
