A Simple Paris Inspired Wedding at the Tampa Garden Club in Tampa, Florida

Christie, a firefighter, 26, and Jackie, a marketing business owner, 31, had an outdoor wedding on a sunny day at the Tampa Garden Club in Tampa, Florida. "We both love the water but neither of us wanted to be on the beach," says Jackie. "The garden area and the view of the water across the way was the most appealing aspect of the venue." Their theme was springtime in Paris. "We both wanted a very fresh, airy, vintage meets modern theme," says Jackie. The couple chose azure blue, sea foam green and dove gray as their wedding colors. Christie and Jackie's wedding party wore dresses or slacks in different shades of gray. Each side carried a different colored bouquet. Christie's portion of the wedding party carried azure blue and green hydrangea bouquets or white boutonnieres. Jackie's side had sea foam green and white hydrangea bouquets. Their shoes were accented with the corresponding side's colors. Christie and Jackie had a unity wine ceremony for their wedding. The decor for their ceremony and cocktail hour reflected their garden location. Christie and Jackie's selected rustic details, local produce, in a market cart, potted herb centerpieces and flower seed plants as favors. However, Jackie did not know everything that was in store for their special day. Christie surprised her with a vintage fire truck as their exit car.
