On May 4, 2024, Andrea and Alex celebrated their love in the charming, culturally rich streets of Ybor City. Infusing their Cuban and Louisiana heritage into the day, the couple made sure every detail was personal. A standout was their unique seating chart, where each guest received a personalized book as a keepsake. Their cocktail hour featured a fusion of Cuban and Cajun flavors, with treats like pastelitos dusted with powdered sugar, blending the best of both cultures.

Held at the historic J.C. Newman Cigar Factory, the wedding embraced a moody emerald fairytale theme, brought to life with stunning florals by Arms of Persephone. Weddings By Crown perfectly captured each magical moment, while special effects from Tampa Bay DJ Company created an enchanting atmosphere with dancing on clouds and sparkling accents. Guests enjoyed dessert from Café Ala Carte and The Gelato Carte, adding a sweet touch to the evening, in addition to the gorgeous emerald cake by Elevenses. Blue Skies Event Planning ensured everything came together seamlessly for this unforgettable celebration, a perfect reflection of Andrea and Alex’s love and their beautiful journey together.
