The Vows

Every month, we celebrate a wedding that truly captures the spirit of love and joy. This month, we’re delighted to feature Camille and Cole, who celebrated their love with an elegant New Year’s Eve wedding. With a style that combined classic Old Hollywood glamor with lush, tropical elements, Camille and Cole’s wedding was a perfect way to ring in the new year and mark the beginning of their forever.

Reflecting on their most memorable moment, the couple shared:

“My favorite wedding day memory was our first look. It was such a special moment that I will remember forever. It was also so great to have that calm moment together ahead of all the festivities.”

When asked about the vendors who brought their vision to life, Camille said:

“This is such a hard question! Our photographer, Brandon and Shannon Dewitt had to be our favorite. Their energy was EVERYTHING. The most calming yet hype people and they made the whole experience feel so comfortable and relaxed. Sarah from Snapdragon Events was also so helpful in making sure the day executed perfectly. She is such a special person to have with you through the day!”

When asked what advice they’d give from the wedding planning journey, they shared:

“[Don’t] get too caught up in the fine details and just focus on the overall mood and energy you want to create for that day/night! Everything else will come together.”

The Wows

On a beautiful December day, Camille and Cole celebrated their love in a stunning winter wedding at the picturesque Sunken Gardens in St. Petersburg, Florida. The couple’s vision came to life through meticulous planning and a team of talented vendors who brought their dreams to fruition.

Their warm, calming presence created an atmosphere of ease and joy, allowing Camille and Cole to fully immerse themselves in every moment. From tender exchanges to lively celebrations, their photography reflected the vibrant energy of the day.

Behind the seamless execution of this enchanting wedding was Sarah from Snapdragon Events. Serving as the month-of coordinator and designer, Sarah transformed Sunken Gardens into a scene of timeless romance, ensuring that every detail aligned with the couple’s vision. Her expertise was instrumental in crafting an unforgettable experience that flowed effortlessly from one magical moment to the next. The floral arrangements, curated by Flowersmith, perfectly complemented the winter-meets-tropical aesthetic. Lush greenery and elegant blooms in winter whites and deep accents adorned the venue, enhancing the garden’s natural beauty. This careful design not only added sophistication to the decor but also imbued the celebration with an exotic flair.

Camille’s bridal look was a stunning homage to vintage elegance. She donned a Kelly Faetanini gown from The White Magnolia, paired with Loeffler Randall shoes and Ettika earrings. Her choice of attire beautifully encapsulated the glamour of old hollywood, while a chic after-party dress by Retrofete offered a modern twist that delighted guests. Camille radiated timeless beauty, captivating everyone around her. The beauty of Camille and her wedding party was enhanced by the artistry of Femme Akoi, who styled them with glamorous looks that captured the essence of Old Hollywood. Each bridesmaid shone brightly, while Camille’s timeless beauty stood out, perfectly reflecting the sophisticated theme of the evening.

As the evening unfolded, Amici’s Catering delivered a delectable menu that complemented the sophisticated atmosphere. Guests were treated to a full-service bar provided by Sunken Gardens, featuring festive cocktails, including expertly crafted espresso martinis from Café A La Carte. The culinary experience added an extra layer of indulgence to the celebration, perfectly matching the couple’s elegant theme. Music played a vital role in setting the tone for the day. DJ Cory Barron kept the energy high throughout the reception, creating a lively dance floor that was the heart of the celebration. Meanwhile, Sunset Strings added an elegant musical touch during the ceremony and cocktail hour, seamlessly blending heartfelt melodies with the jubilant spirit of the event.

Details were not overlooked, with Over The Top Linens elevating the venue with chic, luxurious linens that added depth and texture to the decor. From reception tables to decorative accents, their contributions created a refined and intimate atmosphere that enveloped guests in elegance.
