Kelly & Ben had a beautiful and earthy wedding last Friday in Tierra Verde at the Tampa Bay Watch. The organic inspired decor was perfect for this venue, which sits on the edge of Tampa Bay. From the burlap table runners to the mason jar centerpieces, it had a very warm feel that was welcoming to all the guests. And being the fun couple that they are, there was also an underlying theme- mustaches! Each guest was given their own stick on mustache and all the bridal party had their own as well. It was a ton of fun watching everyone in the reception play with their new accessories. One of my other favorite personal touches Kelly & Ben included was their officiant, Judge Stoddard, who is one of Ben’s law professors at Stetson. I love when a bride and groom have someone they know marry them. In addition to writing their own vows, it made the ceremony so much more meaningful.

 

 

As always, DJ Eric from Grant Hemond & Associates had the party pumping and there were some other really cute couples on the dance floor we enjoyed capturing. The entire group was a total blast. Happy one week anniversary to the adorable Kelly & Ben!
