A Starry Night to Remember: Christa and Anthony's Enchanting Wedding at The Treasury
When Christa and Anthony envisioned their wedding day, they dreamed of an event that was both elegant and memorable, filled with personal touches and surrounded by their loved ones. On Thursday, February 1st, 2024, their dreams came to life with the expert coordination of Alli from Coastal Coordinating, transforming their vision into a breathtaking reality.
The day began with an air of excitement as Christa and her bridal party prepared for the ceremony at the historic Lady of La Leche Church. Christina Burns expertly crafted the hair and makeup, ensuring each member of the bridal party looked flawless. The atmosphere was light and joyful, captured beautifully by Sara Purdy Photography.
The ceremony itself was a moment of serene beauty. As Christa walked down the aisle, her friends and family could hardly contain their emotions. The church, with its rich history and stunning architecture, provided the perfect backdrop for the couple to exchange their vows. Their love was palpable as they promised forever to each other, surrounded by the warmth of their nearest and dearest.
After the heartfelt ceremony, the newlyweds and their wedding party made their way to Magnolia Street for an intimate photo session. The picturesque street, with its charming ambiance, was the perfect setting for capturing the joy and love of the day.
Guests were then ushered to The Treasury on the Plaza, where the celebration truly began. The venue, a historic gem in St. Augustine, was transformed into a starry night dreamscape, thanks to the stunning floral arrangements by A Fantasy In Florals and the elegant decor provided by St. Johns Illumination. The tables, adorned with chic rentals and exquisite centerpieces, set the scene for an unforgettable evening.
The reception started with a warm welcome toast by Christa’s parents, who stood by the iconic vault door, setting the tone for a night of celebration. The couple's first dance to Michael Bublé’s “Everything” was nothing short of magical, enhanced by a spectacular "dancing on the clouds" effect and cold sparks that lit up the room.
As the night unfolded, guests enjoyed a delicious meal catered by Purple Olive. The culinary delights were a highlight of the evening, perfectly complementing the elegant surroundings. The cake cutting ceremony was a moment to remember, with a beautiful wedding cake by Crème De La Cocoa and a fun, whimsical cake from Publix that showcased the couple’s playful side. The cake cutting song, "How Sweet It Is (To Be Loved by You)," added a sweet note to the festivities.
Entertainment was at its peak with JHP Entertainment providing both the DJ services and a fun photo booth that kept guests entertained throughout the night. The dance floor was alive with energy as everyone danced to a mix of classic and contemporary hits. Memorable moments included the bouquet toss to Beyoncé’s “Single Ladies” and the garter removal to the tunes of “Pony” and “All I Do Is Win.”
As the night drew to a close, guests were treated to a late-night snack of sliders and pretzels, a perfect end to the culinary journey. The grand exit was a spectacular affair, with the couple making their way through a tunnel of bubbles, cold sparks, and sparklers, culminating in a romantic carriage ride that whisked them away into the night.
Reflecting on their special day, it’s clear that Christa and Anthony's wedding was a perfect blend of elegance, fun, and personal touches, all brought together seamlessly by Alli’s expert coordination. The love and joy that filled the air were captured beautifully, creating memories that will last a lifetime.
To Christa and Anthony, may your journey together be as magical as your wedding day. Here’s to a lifetime of love, laughter, and countless starry nights.
