St Pete Beach Wedding: Brenna + Mitch

Brenna is a lover of the ocean and has always dreamed of a barefoot ceremony on the beach. After touring Hotel Zamora, she and Mitch knew right away this would be the perfect spot for the reception. They planned the ceremony down the road at their favorite beach, Pass-A-Grille Beach, St. Pete Beach, FL, voted one of the most beautiful beaches in the country. Brenna and Mitch incorporated several elements to achieve a tropical, boho beach wedding. Instead of shoes, she wore 2 shell anklets. Guests were invited to shed their shoes and go barefoot on the beach (note the cute sign). Birds of paradise and hot pink flowers, a palm printed ring box, pineapples and palm fronds as centerpieces at the reception all established the tropical theme. Brenna’s tropical bouquet popped against the white lace of her Emmy Mae Bridal dress. In keeping with the boho look, she chose to wear a flower garland in her hair in lieu of a veil. The soft floral patterns of her individually selected bridesmaids dresses from Plum Pretty Sugar melded perfectly with the white and cream color scheme of the groomsmen. The couple exchanged vows on the beach under a breezy canopy set against the natural backdrop of the sand, sea, and sky. Instead of doing a typical “sand ceremony” with different colors of sand, in the middle of the ceremony they each bent down and grabbed a handful of sand to place in a small container. That way they will always have these special grains of sand from a most special spot.
