Today's gorgeous real wedding was designed by UNIQUE Event Design for Threasa & Justin in St. Petersburg, FL. Their fall themed wedding featured gerber daises throughout the event as the bride is a big fan of the flower. The bridesmaids wore mocha and pumpkin colored dresses and carried multi-colored bouquets. Threasa & Justin's wedding ceremony took place in Hollis Gardens, overlooking Lake Mirror. Afterwards, guests were greeted by a table of escort cards and wine cork holders upon entering the Magnolia Building. There was even a crystal wish tree where the guests wrote their well wishes on cards and then hung them from the tree. I'm loving these colors together - the perfect fall wedding.

The guest tables featured warm tones, mahogany chavari chairs, and rustic arrangements. Each guest was treated to a leaf wine bottle cork. The table numbers were cut from wood by the groom himself.

The sweetheart table was positioned in front of the fireplace - so romantic. There was a "D" made of sticks mounted on the wall, for the couple's last name. UNIQUE Event Design added touches of Fall throughout the Magnolia Building with candles, berries, branches, etc.

The cake was on the stage and sat atop a bed of branches. The void space was filled in with bunches of branches and hanging votives.

For the first dance, the bride & groom began a typical slow dance then went into an "Evolution of Dance!"

Today's Real Wedding of Kaara and Chris in Florida is such a terrific color palette - black, white and apple green, for a modern traditional style. And, don't you just LOVE the brides apple green peep toe heels? The bridesmaids black dresses were contrasted with all white carnation bouquets. The ceremony was held at Kaara's childhood church and was all black and white. The wedding was wonderfully coordinated by UNIQUE Event Design and photographed by Robert McClory Photography.

The bouquet had ivory roses and green ivy to signify the brides sorority.

Since the bride and groom met at Applebees, they worked in a limo stop at Applebees between the ceremony & reception for a fun little photo session.

In the Cocktail Hour, touches of green were added with fuji mums strategically placed throughout an all black & white layout. For the reception, all of the guest linens were green with a black & white damask runner, with black chaircovers. Each placesetting had a black napkin with a black & white cookie favor. The bride and groom chose to do black & white cookies to represent how "ying" and "yang" they are (Chris is a city boy and Kaara is a country girl). Black lacquer cubes of white hydrangea with loops of green beargrass and floating candles adorned each guest table. Instead of table numbers, each table was named a significant location to the bride & groom.

The sweetheart table had an all black & white damask linen, lined with rectangular vases of white hygrangea, bear grass, and floating candles. Staci of UNIQUE Event Design says the florals were the perfect place to incorporate the modern touches that the bride was seeking.

The cake {which overlooked the diamond-shaped dance floor} was raised on a stand that was filled with green apples and sat atop a black eyelash pintuck linen with a trio of crystal candleholders hung above it. The cake was a modern design of vertical and horizontal lines with a green floral design. The whole setup was backed by a line of white drape with amber lighting. I'm loving the look of this - so nice to see a pretty backdrop behind a cake.
