Jennifer and Salvatore were married at Sunken Gardens in St. Petersburg.  The sunlight in the gardens was beautiful as Salvatore waited for his bride and they shared an emotional moment during their First Sight.  Jennifer had tears of joy and Salvatore wore the happiest smile.  After kisses and pictures, their wedding party joined them for pre-ceremony pictures as well.  The groomsmen wore black tuxes and the bridesmaids were in knee-length black dresses.  Black was a great contrast against the colorful flowers and greenery of the gardens.  The couple brightened up the ceremony with some purple and white details and flowers, but black was still the main color as black pomander balls hung on shepherd hooks lining the aisle.  The bride and groom exchanged vows in front of a hanging crystals, long fabric draping, and a hanging chandelier of crystals and candles.

Jennifer and Salvatore joined their guests for an outdoor cocktail hour with a band, a cigar roller, and sushi before heading inside.  The reception room was decorated with purple linens and tall white floral centerpieces.  Purple uplighting and candles floating above purple orchids added to the room’s ambiance.  Guests danced and celebrated until just before midnight when the reception ended, but as they departed Jennifer and Salvatore had a taco station waiting outside so everyone could grab a late night taco for the road.

Congratulations to the newlyweds on a beautiful day and the start of what is sure to be a beautiful life together!
