Jen, Elliott And A Beautiful Clearwater Beach Sunset

Clearwater Beach sunsets make everything more magical! Jan and Elliott’s wedding is no exception. Their gold, white, and black color story brought the beautiful sunset from their wedding portraits inside the ballroom as well.

 

 

So, pair an adorable couple, magical sunsets, a fabulous color story, and dozens and dozens of white roses with a fantastic vendor team, and you’ve got a magnificent day!

 

It’s A Wedding Party!

For Jen and her wedding party, the day started with hair and makeup services in the bridal suite. The ladies had time for some bubbly and fun photos in matching jammies while details of the day were being photographed, and then it was time to dress to get things rolling.

 

 

Across the resort, Elliott and his wedding party gathered, got dressed and ready, and took some group photos. He took a few minutes to collect his thoughts and read his vows more time before heading to see his bride-to-be.

 

 

A Little Dad Time

We love a good first look and seeing Jen descending the stairs of the resort’s bridal suite toward her dad was incredible! It had all the feels, and you couldn’t help but smile.

 

 

But Wait, There’s More!

It was finally time for Elliott to see his beautiful bride-to-be for the first time. Seeing Jen make her way down the sidewalk toward him was too cute. The moment was captured beautifully, and you could feel how much in love they are.

 

 

After a few photos with their wedding party and some family photos, it was time to head outside for the beach wedding ceremony.

 

 

A Day At The Beach

On Clearwater Beach, an aisle flanked by white garden chairs outside the resort led to a stunning wedding structure covered in a blanket of amazing white roses. 

 

 

With everyone gathered, Jen, escorted by her father, walked across the lawn to soft cello music. Elliott looked on as they turned and walked down the aisle toward him.

 

 

The couple exchanged their vows and wedding rings, surrounded by family and friends, sealing their vows with a kiss before exiting. 

 

 

A few photos with their guests, and everyone made their way to cocktail hour.

 

 

A That Jazz

Guests were greeted by a Jazz trio setting the stage for a beautiful waterfront cocktail hour.

Light bites included delicious Diver Scallops, Crab Cakes, Vegetable Empanadas, Lollipop Lamb Chops, Shrimp, and Basil Spring Rolls.

They enjoyed a Chilled Raw Bar with Jumbo Shrimp, Oysters, Cocktail Crab Claws, and a Cheese & Charcuterie Board.

 

 

After spending time with family and friends, Jen changed into another dress before the newlyweds headed off for some sunset photos.

 

Clearwater Beach Sunset

Heading toward the beach during Golden Hour gives couples incredible lighting for their wedding portraits, and nothing beats a Clearwater Beach sunset!

 

 

Bringing the Sunset Indoors

The ballroom was draped in soft, flowing fabric and lit with candlelight. Gold chiavari chairs surrounded tables draped in crisp white linen. The tablescapes included soft candlelight and beautiful white floral arrangements. 

White charger plates were set with a Cucumber-Wrapped Salad, and a custom menu card sat off to the side of each place setting.

 

 

The couple’s sweetheart table was draped in white fabric and enveloped in a cascade of greenery and white flowers.

 

 

Off to one side was the couple’s three-tiered white wedding cake with a custom gold cake topper on a sleek modern gold cake stand.

 

 

Eat, Drink and Be Married

The newlyweds cheered as they made their grand entrance into the ballroom. They made their way to the dancefloor and impressed their guests with a well-rehearsed first dance.

 

 

Following a few touching toasts, everyone dined on a choice of Chilean Sea Bass or Filet Mignon served with a Havarti Souffle and a Chef’s selection of Seasonal Vegetables.

Next up was the cake-cutting and dessert service as the dance floor opened for the evening. Guests danced and partied all night, pausing long enough for a Cheeseburger and Chicken Sliders for a little late-night snack.

 

 

It was a night we’re sure no one will soon forget.

Congratulations, Jen and Elliott! We wish you both many beautiful sunsets!
