When hosting a classic, sophisticated wedding, nothing is more timeless than an all-white affair. Amanda and Dan’s luxurious downtown St. Pete wedding was a symphony of white, with an elegantly draped ballroom reception at the historic Vinoy Hotel.

The bride, a self-confessed ‘low-key girl,’ envisioned her wedding vision with a “clean, modern, and bright” aesthetic. To achieve this look, Amanda’s bouquet was filled with white orchids, while the bridesmaids carried stemmed calla lilies down the aisle.

The outdoor courtyard ceremony took place in the venue’s private Tea Garden, with the towering pink exterior and trickling water fountain adding to the elegant surroundings.

Choosing a St. Pete wedding planner that aligns with your vision and style requires diligent thought and careful research. After interviewing numerous planners, Amanda found the perfect ally in Parties a La Carte owner, Jessica Ralph, known for her impeccable design selections and detail-oriented planning.

“With the help of my Dad, I interviewed several wedding planners. I was looking for someone who was confident in what they do and someone who could guide me and see the direction I was going in before I even knew where that was,” the bride revealed. “As soon as my father and I met Jessica, we knew she and her staff at Parties A La Carte were the best for us. I can’t describe what I want, but I know what I want when I see it, and Jessica immediately sensed that and was ready to help me through the process.”

Parties A’La Carte curated an ethereal experience for the couple. The luxurious St. Petersburg ballroom wedding was filled with class and sophistication. Gold accents thoughtfully added to the all-white reception added a touch of opulence, providing the perfect contrast to the crisp whites and soft florals. Each detail of this event, from the monogrammed white dance floor to towering orchid, rose, and hydrangea centerpieces to the perfectly aligned place settings, created a polished atmosphere for the 185-guest celebration.

“I believe in saving your money for your future, for trips and for experiences; however, your wedding should be one of those experiences,” the bride shared.
