What bride (or wedding guest) could resist these dreamy desserts?
This pistachio draping completely transformed this space into a “dessert room” and was the perfect backdrop for a gorgeous wedding cake centerpiece (courtesy of @handsonsweets) and all the extra special sweets Pam & Jack treated their guests to.
Their Tampa wedding featured some of our favorite details, decor, and of course the delectable dessert options!
We’ve gotta know... what dessert is a must-have at your wedding?

20+ years of hard work in the event industry, summed up into the perfect 3 minutes.
@storyboxcinema captured a little behind the scenes at one of our recent weddings. I must admit, I got a little teary eyed watching this video- it was like a life long dream realized and personified.😍
I started working in the industry when I was 14, and if you had told me I would be working with the sweetest, most amazing people, turning their dreams into a reality… well, if we’re being honest, I would have believed you. 😂
If there’s one piece of advice I would give to anyone in the event world, no matter what it is you’re doing, it’s that hard word and kindness does make a difference.

If you want to transform a space for your wedding, I’ve got good news for you because it’s kind of my thing.
Oh, and you have a fun idea? YES- share all your ideas (even the ones you’re not sure about) and let’s make them happen!
When it comes to planning events, making my clients HAPPY is my number one priority. And making your vision a reality, even if YOU aren’t sure how it’s going to happen?
Well, hearing you say “I cannot believe this was even possible” is pretty amazing too. 🤩

If you want to create a dramatic statement – dial up the draping 😍
This pistachio green ceiling drape COMPLETELY transformed the space at Tampa River Center.
I’ve planned a number of weddings here and I could NOT have guessed where we were once the draping was done.
Something to love about draping? You can customize it to fit any venue and create a number of different vibes.
This will always be one of my favorite transformations!

The thing about me is that if I know a bride loves something... I’m going to surprise her with it 😍
Amy had mentioned how much she loves saxophone music, so while she was getting ready with her girls, I arranged for a serenade from @thesugarsax + dance party for them!
Those moments with your bridesmaids are so special, and I loved to see them all get into the music and dance out some of those nerves before walking down the aisle.
What’s your go-to dance party music?

Classic weddings will ALWAYS be in style.
The clean, elegant vibes of a crisp white color palette feel timeless, romantic, and oh so chic.
Amy & Brett used color throughout their welcome party, rehearsal dinner, and cocktail hour – but when it was time to celebrate at The Tampa Edition after their vows, everything was black, white, gold... and perfect.
It doesn’t get more romantic than this! 😍

I’ll never say no to a reason to visit Mexico!
Part of planning Caity & Carlos’s wedding included site visits on-location at Villa La Joya, making sure their personalities and design preferences were accurately represented and planned for on their wedding day.
Caity shared the kindest words after her stunning Mexico wedding:
“We received a sea of compliments from our guests on the day of the wedding, many of whom said it was by far the best wedding they had ever attended, and I agree. If you want to see your dream wedding come to fruition and feel special, relaxed and cared for throughout the entire wedding planning process, hire Alexa.”

Planning a long-distance wedding can be a challenge, but working with Mary & Mario to plan their Tampa wedding from their home in NYC was a dream!

Mario agreed – “Alexa’s vast network ensured that each vendor we selected fit our wedding perfectly.”

Can you say iconic? 🤩
The Historic Don Cesar was the most perfect, picturesque backdrop for this colorful, retro Florida wedding.
The coral, peach, mustard yellow, soft blue, and mossy green color palette perfectly encapsulated the experience of the sun setting over the Gulf, and the signature pink facade of the Don Cesar only added to the memorable ceremony.
Florida vibes flowed through the entire experience, with guests enjoying citrus-inspired cocktails and an entire citrus-themed seating chart installation as they entered the reception space.
The entire day was the ideal blend of retro sophistication and jubilant celebration, and we loved being the ones to bring it to life for Madison and Jack!

Absolute elegance can be useful too!
We had so much fun creating 3 distinct table settings for Pam & Jack’s wedding reception at Tampa River Center.
The bride and groom enjoyed a private dining experience at their table, but were also able to invite guests to enjoy a seat at the banquette beside them so they could spend time together without having to walk around to each table.
We kept the rest of the reception space interesting with full linens on some tables and some tables without, highlighting the stunning black chairs that beautifully fit the space.
It’s important to us that every couple feels like their wedding is uniquely tailored to their personalities, interests, and priorities... and we love how this design hit every nail on the head.

We believe that you should have EVERYTHING you want on your wedding day!
Amy & Brett wanted elevated, classic, and neutral for their wedding at The Tampa Edition. But, they also wanted bright colors!
If you’re thinking, “Impossible!” you’ve never met our team 🥰
Their wedding weekend incorporated ALL of their desires, with a bright welcome party and rehearsal dinner, a colorful rooftop cocktail hour, and a black, white, and super elegant ceremony and reception.
They got to enjoy the best of both design styles – which seems like a perfect way to start a life together!
