Ariel and Danny’s Davis Islands Garden Club Wedding

Davis Islands Garden Club was a picture-perfect location for Ariel and Danny’s Tampa Bay wedding.

After the wedding parties got dressed and ready, Ariel had a first look with her father before seeing her groom-to-be for the first time.

The couple allowed plenty of time for portraits and photos with their wedding parties and family before the wedding ceremony. This left them the rest of the day to enjoy family and friends.

With This Ring

The beautiful outdoor wedding ceremony began with Ariel being escorted down the aisle by her father. Although Danny had seen her earlier in the day during their first look, he was overcome with emotion seeing his bride walk down the aisle.

The ceremony was personal and touching, and how cute was this kiss as they made their way back down the aisle?

Jenga!

During the cocktail reception, guests were invited to write messages to the couple on Jenga blocks. This guest book is so much fun and something the couple will use for years to come.

Speechless!

Following the cocktail reception, guests made their way into the Davis Islands Garden Club ballroom. The space was draped with soft white fabric, which complimented the bright décor. One of our favorite details is the glass-top sweetheart table swagged with fresh flowers.

After introductions, the newlyweds took to the dancefloor for their first dance to “Speechless’ by Dan and Shay.

The evening continued with parent dances, a welcome by the Father of the Bride, touching toasts, a barbecue buffet reception, and delicious wedding cake before closing the night to “Don’t Stop Believing.”
