Anthony & Genna Tie the Knot
Anthony and Genna’s ceremony and reception was at the Grand Plaza
on St. Pete Beach. For the ceremony, the Grand Plaza created a bamboo archway
with a tropical plant backdrop on the beach. The walkway leading up to it was
lined with palm trees. Genna couldn’t help but smile for the entire walk down
the aisle.

Recessional: This I Swear – Nick Lachey
The ballroom was beautiful and the teal highlights
accentuated the tropical beach vibe. Anthony and Genna’s stylish gobo with seahorses
really set the dance floor off. Once the sun went down the uplighting really made the room glow.
About half way through Genna and her father’s
dance and then Anthony and his mother’s dance we invited all the fathers and
daughters and mothers and sons do join in. It was a really sweet way to include
the guests.
After a fabulous dinner the night ramped up into a great
party. The guests were a fun and lively bunch that really enjoyed dancing. By
the end of the night all of the groomsmen had managed to remove their shirts
but retain their vests. Anthony said they all thought they were Magic Mike. So
it’s no surprise that Ginuwine’s Pony went over well.
Katie Shepherd and her staff did a phenomenal job with
everything. I noticed Katie’s fingernails were painted teal. I asked her if she
had planned to coordinate with the wedding colors, she laughed and said it was
just a fun coincidence.

The pictures from the wedding are wonderful. I really liked both the beachside venue and the reception hall, and it looks like it was a very entertaining event. I’m also expecting to have an enjoyable time at my close friend’s wedding next week at one of the happening event venues in town.
