Michelle and Zach’s Westin Tampa Bay Wedding

Micheel and Zach’s Tampa Bay wedding, which featured gold, white, and touches of blush, was magical. The Westin Tampa Bay provided ideal spaces for their ceremony and reception, and the natural surroundings made for beautiful photos.

Up On The Roof

The rooftop was a beautiful location for the couple’s wedding ceremony. Gold chivari chairs and gold moon gate decorated with lush white flowers created a magical space for the wedding ceremony.

The bride looked beautiful as she walked down the aisle to her anxiously awaiting groom. The couple exchanged wedding vows and rings, including a traditional wedding lasso that symbolized their unity. Sealing their vows with a kiss, the couple headed off for family photos and portraits while guests enjoyed cocktail hour.

 

 

An Adorable Portrait Session

After spending time with family for photos, the newlyweds explored the hotel’s surrounding area for their fantastic portrait session. Just before sunset, the Golden Hour provided them with beautiful natural light for their portraits.

 

 

A Golden Glow

The hotel’s ballroom tables were draped with crisp white linens and surrounded by gold chivari chairs. Champagne-colored napkins in a waterfall fold held guests’ salads, and gold table numbers and white floral arrangements completed the tablescape. 

 

 

The beautiful floral ceremony structure was repurposed as a backdrop for the couple’s sweetheart table, where their three-tiered white wedding cake was placed off to one side.

Following introductions, Michelle and Zach took to the dance floor for their first dance as husband and wife. After their first dance, there were parent dances and a few touching toasts before a blessing by Zach’s father.

Guests enjoyed tableside wine service along with a delicious buffet dinner. Michelle presented her bridal bouquet to her mother in a lovely personal touch. Before taking to the dancefloor, the couple took a few minutes for their cake cutting.
