Debby and Timmy's Sunset Beach Wedding

treasure island beach wedding photoDebby and Timmy are from Plant City, Florida, about an hour east of St Petersburg. They decided to have their wedding on the beach at Sunset Beach in Treasure Island, Florida, with about 30 of their closest friends and relatives.


We provided our new two-post bamboo arch with white fabric (which looked stunning, if we do say so ourselves!) and chairs for their beach wedding. Claire provided their wedding photography, and Ron officiated their beach wedding ceremony.

Debby and Timmy looked stunning themselves, and enjoyed a beautiful evening on Sunset Beach for their sunset wedding!

Debby and Timmy: Thank you so much for choosing Simple Weddings! We wish you all the best in the years ahead. Below are a few of our favorite pictures from your Sunset Beach wedding. Keep and eye on our website for the rest in a few days.

Bamboo + Brown = Beautiful Beach Wedding!

bamboo beach wedding decor
Paula and Jonathan were married on Pass-a-Grille Beach, at the southern tip of St Pete Beach, Florida, this past weekend. Jeff officiated their wedding ceremony, and we provided our bamboo canopy with ivory fabric and brown accents, along with bamboo chairs. The floral arrangements were provided by our friends Kim and Marsha at Seaside Florals of St Pete Beach.

The decor was absolutely stunning! And although Paula and Jonathan didn't hire us to provide their wedding photography (they used a family friend), we couldn't resist posting a few pictures of our bamboo canopy, bamboo chairs, and ivory and brown decor!

Enjoy!

Joshua and Audrey's Pass-a-Grille Beach Wedding

st pete beach wedding photography
Joshua and Audrey are "locals" from Tampa, Florida. They opted for a beach wedding on beautiful Pass-a-Grille, at the southern end of St Pete Beach. Their wedding plans included our bamboo canopy, sound system, music, and chairs for around 45 of their friends and family.

It was a beautiful evening on Pass-a-Grille and there were two weddings taking place about 4 blocks apart. This caused quite a bit of commotion, as the wedding guests weren't quite sure if they were at the right wedding, and kept sending the "other" guests to the "other" wedding - some ended up passing each other more than once while going back and forth! We even had to send a runner to make sure we had the right guests for Josh and Audrey's wedding.

Josh and Audrey took it all in stride, and when we eventually got everyone in the right spot, Jeff opened the ceremony by saying, "If you aren't here for Joshua and Audrey's wedding, speak now or forever hold your peace". This got everyone laughing and the wedding went smoothly from there on out.

Josh and Audrey enjoyed a truly stunning sunset for their wedding on Pass-a-Grille, and had lots of fun taking their wedding pictures by Claire, then headed off in a limo (which was a surprise from their friends and family) to their reception in Ybor City.

Josh and Audrey: Thank you for choosing Simple Weddings! We were honored to be a part of your big day and we wish you all the best!

Heidi & David's Beach Wedding at the Tradewinds Resort

tradewinds beach weddingHeidi is from South Dakota, and David is from Minnesota. So when it came time for them to plan their November wedding, they decided to leave the cold midwestern fall weather behind and have a destination wedding on the beach on Florida!

They opted for an intimate beach wedding at the Tradewinds Island Grand Resort on St Pete Beach (which is listed on our preferred vendors list as one of our favorite beach resorts). It was just David, Heidi, and about 2o of their closest friends and relatives, and it was a lovely wedding ceremony on the beach - even if it was a little windy!

Afterwards, Heidi and David took advantage of the beautiful sunset and the lavishly landscaped grounds of the Tradewinds Resort for their wedding pictures with Claire.

Heidi and David: Thank you so much for choosing Simple Weddings! We were truly honored to be a part of your beach wedding plans and wish you all the best in the years to come. Below are a few of our favorite pictures from your Tradewinds Beach Wedding. Keep an eye on our website for the rest in a few days!

Bill & Jennifer's 'Reverse' Wedding on Pass-a-Grille

pass-a-grille beach weddingBill and Jennifer are locals who live here in St Petersburg, Florida. They contacted us a couple of months ago to book their beach wedding on Pass-a-Grille Beach, FL. They went all out with our bamboo canopy, a violinist, and dancing bridesmaids and groomsmen!

However, they forgot one small detail: Daylight Savings Time! Bill and Jennifer had their pastor perform their wedding ceremony, and they had scheduled him to arrive at 5:30pm...ten minutes before sunset! When we explained to Bill that we normally start our beach weddings an hour or more before sunset in order to allow time for the ceremony, family pictures, and wedding portraits before it gets dark, he had a simple reply..."Can't we just do it in reverse?".

So, we said sure...why not?!!! Claire took Bill and Jennifer's pictures with their friends and family before the wedding at their condo on Pass-a-Grille. Then everyone headed across the street to the for the ceremony, and Bill and Jennifer were married right at sunset!

While it's not the way we normally do things, it worked! Bill and Jennifer looked stunning and their beach wedding on Pass-a-Grille was, well...Simple, Elegant, and Perfect!

Bill and Jennifer: Thank you so much for choosing Simple Weddings to be a part of your big day. It was a pleasure and we were truly honored! Below are a few of our favorite pictures from your beach wedding. Keep an eye on our website at www.SimpleWeddingsFlorida.com for the rest!

Congratulations!

Elaine and Michael's Simple Wedding on Sunset Beach

sunset beach, treasure island, fl weddingElaine and Michael were visiting Florida from England. They had been together for years and decided to finally "make it legal", so they contacted us to inquire about getting married whilst on holiday in Florida.

We set them up with our "Just the Two of Us" Wedding Package, which included their beach wedding ceremony and a half hour of photography with Claire.

The beach, the sunset, the weather (and of course the wedding!) couldn't have been more perfect.

Elaine and Michael, We hope you enjoyed the rest of your Florida vacation and had a safe trip home. Below are a few of our favorite pictures from your Sunset Beach Wedding. Keep an eye on our Simple Weddings website for the rest in a few days!
