Sunshine and Smiles in St. Pete

Sarah and Sonny’s St. Pete wedding was filled with sunshine and smiles. They were an absolute pleasure to work with. From their ceremony at St. Pete’s Sunken Gardens to the Reception at the St. Petersburg Woman’s Club, they laughed and smiled all day, as did their family and friends!

Getting Ready

They each spent the morning with their wedding party getting ready and taking time for lots of fun, laughter, and time together.

All Of Me

Their outdoor wedding ceremony was set against the incredible backdrop of the Sunken Gardens. With everyone gathered, the wedding party and two adorable flowers girls led the way for Sarah’s entrance to “Can’t Help Falling in Love.”

Perfect

The St. Pete Woman’s Club was set for an evening of dinner and dancing. Several tables were set with gold risers topped with greenery and fresh flowers, with others set with vases holding the wedding party’s beautiful bouquets.

The newlyweds made quite an entrance to “Can’t Stop the Feeling,” followed by welcoming their guests, a blessing, and a delicious dinner buffet.

The smiles continued through several, often hysterical, toasts before the couple opened the dancefloor for the evening.

There were miles and miles of smiles, from the cake cutting to the parent dances, bouquet toss, and last dance of the night.

The last song of the night, “I’ve Had The Time of My Life,” could not have been more appropriate.

Congratulations, Sarah and Sonny! We’re happy to have been part of your special moments!
