Sunken Gardens St. Petersburg Wedding Stacia and Gabriel

WOW! You cannot even imagine how wonderful it is to work with a couple who had a clear vision of their wedding and in particular their ceremony.

Stacia and Gabriel met almost 8 years ago in a store in the book section. The section of interest to both of them was of Japanese annimation. They are both extremely interested in the japanese culture and they are fond of the anama animated characters. It wasn't long after that through their mutual enjoyment of all things japanesse, that they became a couple and fell in love. Gabe told me that Stacia was the "yin to his yan", and Stacia told me that she couldn't imagine not having Gabe as her "partner in crime" forever.

They chose the magnificent Sunken Garden, sent out their save the date cards which featured artwork of a japanese animated couple and the word Love in Japanese, and then, the customized wedding invitations. From there, the wedding was created for and with them to feature japanese flowers, words, and rituals to further enhance their common interest. To create their vision!

Their wedding will be one of the featured weddings when I speak at the Association of Bridal Consultants international conference in Baltimore in November.
