Nature Inspired Wedding in an Oak Pavillion

It was an honor for me to officiate the wedding of Katie andTony! !  Katie and Tony celebrated their special moment strolling over the walkway to exchange their vows under a canopy of shade trees in the Oak Pavilion at the Sunken Gardens. The beauty and tranquility of this timeless sanctuary added to the  romance of their special day.

The Sunken Gardens is a botanical paradise in the midst of a bustling city. As St. Petersburg's oldest living museum, this 100 year old garden is home to some of the oldest tropical plants in the region.
Wedding guests had the opportunity to unwind as they strolled through meandering paths, lush with exotic plants from around the world. They explored cascading waterfalls, beautiful demonstration gardens, more than 50,000 tropical plants and flowers.

  Katie and Tony specifically chose this location because of their love of nature and gardens, and as Katie told me, it is a reminder of the beautiful gardens and nature God has provided for us to enjoy.

Katie and Tony shared very beautiful vows with each other, and also shared a vow with Tony's daughter Brooke.

Music for the ceremony was provided by Eddie Lugo, and the beautiful flowers were designed by
Debbie of The Bridess Bouquet.

Congratulations Tony and Katie, may you be blessed with a very long and happy marriage!!
