A Word About Styling:

Inspiration for this shoot was built around the stunning Dessy bridesmaid dresses that we fell in love with: three dresses that reminded us of the ocean and sand that the coast is so well known for. From there, a “coastal” but not “beachy” design fell into place!

In order to achieve this look, my main focus was texture. I wanted to keep things simple but with various textures and visual elements. I opted out of traditional linens and instead used gauzy ribbon and rope intertwined to create a table runner. It was the perfect contrast to the wooden table set with china and driftwood chargers! FH Weddings kept the florals untraditional, loose and wild while still maintaining femininity by using Protea, roses, oats and lots of greenery. Pulling in design details like a sea glass inspired seating display, an incredible textured wedding cake by Hands On Sweets with driftwood and rope accents, and a stunning invitation suite with brass and braided ribbon by Eleven Note all made for gorgeous coastal inspiration!

We added a touch of glam with the seating area and the bar by The Reserve Vintage Rentals and stayed true to the coastal mission with our map of Tampa Bay print by Oh Deer Creative. Various blues, greens, and pinks paired with soft and rustic elements prove that you can have wedding that fits both the bride and groom! We hope you feel inspired by these gorgeous coastal details enough to create your own ocean and sand inspired wedding day!
