Ali + Mark
Their wedding weekend took place in St. Petersburg, Florida. The bride wanted a custom monogram to match their Save The Dates, all things palm trees, and a neutral color palate.
The smallest moments leave the deepest impression.
This bride and groom were incredibly intentional about every aspect of their South Florida wedding, taking place at the Vinoy, you can see the nods to an elegant and modern Florida vibe. A successful young couple now living in Manhattan, Ali and Mark chose to return to their childhood home to host their wedding. Devout Christians, the ceremony was set in a traditional Catholic church (Saint Raphael Catholic Church, in St. Petersburg, Florida). The wedding florals were all white with accents of black and neutral earth tones throughout the ceremony and reception. Ali had an editorial vision for every inch of the wedding weekend.

They hosted several events, starting with an exclusive evening sunset cruise to kick off the weekend, with just their family and bridal party. The next day, after the wedding rehearsal, they hosted a rehearsal dinner before switching venues to welcome guests at their official Night Before party. The wedding day included a ceremony, reception, and late night after party. Brunch Sunday morning capped off the celebratory weekend. Ali thought of everything. As you can see in this extensive suite design, she included an expansive suite as well as weekend details that the guests received upon their arrival to the hotel, including a box with water, sunscreen, and a weekend details/trolley card (showing every timeline and giving helpful trolley info).
The bride was also incredibly intentional about creating a formal Catholic Mass Wedding Program with a lyrics insert. The bride and groom spent an entire week before the wedding hand writing thank you cards to each guest, which were presented to them on their reception table setting. Of course she also hand wrote thank you cards after the wedding. This couple chose to create moments before, during, and after their union to make sure each guest knew how loved and cherished they were. It is rare to see a couple go above and beyond to make their union as much about their guests, as themselves. The smallest moments leave the deepest impression. I adore this bride and have also been blessed to print baby announcements for their first born son, Pierce!
From invitations, to day of wedding items, and life celebrations, I would love to guide you.
