The Don CeSar

St. Petersburg Beach, Florida

Having a ceremony on the steps of the courtyard allows your guests to not only get a wonderful view of the historic hotel, but just behind them is the magnificent St. Petersburg Beach. These views mesh well with a neutral color palette to enhance the beauty of the surroundings.

The couple went with our Exclusive Collection- our Partial Planning Package. This package is perfect for a bride that wants to be involved in the planning of their wedding, but is also looking for guidance throughout the process. The couple decided on this package because this was a destination wedding for them. This package is a collaboration between the couple and the planner. It includes three in depth meetings with the couple to go over many logistics. The first meeting is going over the budget, vendor recommendations, and we dive deep into a planning checklist. The second meeting is coming up with a color scheme and how this relates to the overall floral design and aesthetic. At this point, we are also checking in with our couple and how they are doing with the checklist. The third meeting is finalizing all of the small details- timeline, signage, decor, etc. This meeting is when we go through everything carefully and methodically to make sure all is set for their wedding day.

Because the “Pink Palace” truly has its own color scheme, our couple went with neutrals for their color palette: taupe, blush, greenery, ivory, and gold. They did not want anything that would deter guests from seeing the beauty of the hotel. This color palette carried over into their reception space in the King Charles Ballroom where they had greenery hanging from the chandeliers to add a touch of warmth and romance. The couple’s main theme was to keep it classic and neutral- truly making it a memorable day on St. Petersburg Beach.
