Amy & Ned's Wedding 9.1.13

   I absolutely could not wait for Amy and Ned's wedding day! Having planned Amy's sister, Laura (my first bride)'s, wedding I had already been lucky enough to spend time with this wonderful family and get to know some of the key players in the big day! Well, add those friendly faces to the groom's amazing family and friends and you had quite the party!
   The day started at the Renaissance Vinoy with hair, makeup, mimosas and presents to and from the beautiful bride. Once everyone was all gussied up, we headed to the stunning St Nicholas Antiochian Orthodox Church. A truly gorgeous and unique ceremony officially hitched Ned and Amy and then we were back to the Vinoy for the reception.
   Hilarious bridal party entries, delicious food, pit stops in the Shutterbooth photo booth and PLENTY of dancing all made for an incredible evening for the happy couple and their guests! Congratulations Amy & Ned!

Kristi's Nautical Baby Shower

   When Kristen of AKA Photographs asked for Flawless Fetes' assistance in throwing her sister in law, Kristi, a nautically themed baby shower, we couldn't wait!
   Held at a private residence in St Petersburg, it was a fantastic party full of personal touches from the mommy-to-be's friends and family who couldn't wait to shower this little "Squirt" with presents and love!

Guests were greeted by some under the sea bubbles and goldfish in the home's entryway

The delicious food, prepared by AKA's multi-talented Kristen was a huge success! 

Adorable "Squirt" cake made by the mommy to be's sister-in-law!

 Kristi got lots of amazing gifts for her little water baby! 

As favors, guests each got to grab a bag of salt water taffy on their way home! 

Kristen & Lindsay had a great time working this wonderful shower!

Jennifer & Mike's Wedding 7.27.13

   I knew that Jennifer and Mike were going to have an amazing wedding from the get-go. They just had it all going for them! A foodie bride, (The Foodie Patootie specifically), a florist father of the groom, a gorgeous venue and a groom and groomsman surprising the bride with an awesome food truck during the reception!
   The day arrived and it was beautiful and so much fun! Friends and family couldn't have been happier for the couple as they danced the night away.

Mike was ready to go!

Stunning!

Beautiful florals from Ybor Island Flowers decorated the gazebo

Yummy honey stick favors at guests' place settings

Each table was named for a different flower to tie in with the garden theme

Delicious dessert table by Piquant

 The flower girl and ring bearer were total pros!

The Kiss!
