Sunset Beach Wedding

0

Nichole and Brandon came to us in May of 2008 and wanted an  ” Out of the Box” Beach Wedding. Brandon did not want the arch, white chairs tiki torches, blah, blah, blah….  He was looking for unique and cool.. Nichole was looking for help, since they live in the Gainesville Area with creating a casual cocktail party reception at the St.Petersburg Yacht Club.

We accepted the challenge and started brainstorming on ways to make this all happen. We had 2 different ideas to submit to Nichole and Brandon for the beach wedding set-up. The 2 inspiration pictures are featured below:

After narrowing down the beach wedding set-up and finalizing that… We set out to start tackling the job of making the Yacht club ballroom a casual tropical cocktail party… FYI they did have a limited budget also…. We decided instead of having large round tables and chair covers and bows… we would bring in Bamboo chairs to give the tropical casual feel instead of the formal look that the chair covers and bows would bring. Plus large round tables encourage all of the guest to sit and wait for dinner… We then decided to do High top cocktail tables and some small round bistro tables.. We did have a few large round tables for the older guests and family that just did not understand the concept of mingling….. We did 3 different styles of centerpieces that all had a tropical feel and plenty of color, since Nichole had chosen Sunset colors for the wedding.  We finalized the details with adding a Steel Drummer that was playing as they arrived for the cocktail party along with a  polaroid photo booth station with tropical props for the guests to dress up and take pictures at their convenience.. The wedding and reception was a total success and we have developed a life long relationship with this wonderful couple and Mom  also…

Below is the testimonial from Nichole’s Mother about our services at Special Moments:

Tammy Waterman with Special Moments and all of her staff made that one moment in my daughter’s life beyond special. She kept things flowing comfortably from the begininng to the end and even after. Her suggestions of vendors were awesome and she made sure my daughter stayed right on budget, right on time, and very relaxed throughout the whole year. I hope to use her and her staff again for my next daughter.
