When you picture a fairy tale wedding, the image conjured up is often one of elegance, charm, and a touch of glamour. Amber and Rob's wedding at the iconic Don Cesar Hotel embodied all these elements and more. It was a day where every detail was meticulously planned and beautifully executed, thanks to the remarkable coordination by Cayla from Coastal Coordinating.
The day began with Amber and her bridesmaids getting ready in a luxurious suite at the Don Cesar Hotel. The room buzzed with excitement as the ladies donned their matching satin robes and sipped champagne. Rob and his groomsmen, not to be outdone, gathered in another part of the hotel. The gentlemen were dressed to impress in their black tuxedos and crisp white shirts. Rob stood out in his sophisticated white jacket, a perfect choice for the stylish groom. As they shared laughs and helped each other with final touches, the camaraderie and joy were palpable.
The ceremony was nothing short of spectacular. Held on the grand steps of the Don Cesar Hotel, the setting was a perfect blend of historic charm and modern elegance. The decor featured an exquisite mix of white roses and greenery, designed by Royal Events and Services, which perfectly complemented the hotel's blush pink facade.
Amber made her entrance with her father to the soulful rendition of “Can’t Help Falling in Love” by Haley Reinhart. The moment was pure magic as she walked down the aisle, her gown flowing beautifully with each step. Officiated by their friend Ashley, the couple's vows were heartfelt and sincere, leaving not a dry eye in the audience. The ceremony concluded with the joyous sounds of Scotty McCreery's "This is It," marking the beginning of Amber and Rob's new chapter.
Following the ceremony, guests were treated to a delightful cocktail hour on the North Terrace Veranda. The ambiance was set by the smooth tunes of Tampa Bay DJ Co, and guests mingled, sipping on signature cocktails and enjoying the beautiful sunset views.
As the reception began in the North Terrace Ballroom, the decor continued to impress.
