Melissa and Tevin exchanged vows in a beautifully orchestrated wedding at the Tampa Museum of Art. Planned by Aria Events, the celebration was a perfect blend of timeless elegance and personalized charm. Surrounded by family and friends, the couple’s love story unfolded in an unforgettable atmosphere designed to reflect their unique journey.

2Birds Events curated breathtaking floral designs that set the tone for the day. Melissa carried a stunning bridal bouquet of all-white blooms, featuring garden roses, lilies of the valley, ranunculus, and sweet pea. The bridesmaids’ bouquets introduced soft touches of greenery like Camelia foliage and olive branches, complementing the white florals. The groom and groomsmen completed the polished look with black tuxes accented by white ranunculus boutonnieres. The ceremony space featured two freestanding floral columns and ground aisle markers, which were later repurposed for the reception. Elevated table centerpieces and subtle blush-toned blooms enhanced the reception’s sophisticated ambiance. Greenery elements like Italian ruscus and olive branches, along with candlelit stairwell decor, added a romantic glow.

Kate Ryan Rentals transformed the space into a modern masterpiece creating an effortlessly chic aesthetic. Feasting tables were arranged in a striking U-shape, perfect for intimate conversation and celebration. Salt Block Hospitality provided exceptional catering, while the Bay Kings Band kept guests on their feet all night. The Lifetime Photo Booth offered fun keepsakes, and Star Trolley ensured smooth transportation. The reception was a joyous mix of heartfelt speeches, dancing, and laughter, all under the glow of expertly designed uplighting and draping.

Melissa and Tevin’s wedding was a celebration of love, art, and beauty—a day their loved ones will cherish forever. Every detail, from the carefully selected flowers to the stunning design, reflected the couple’s timeless style and deep connection.
