{Deirdre & Angelo @ The Florida Aquarium}

Deirdre and Angelo have a love for all things deep sea, which led them to the Florida Aquarium for their gorgeous wedding!  The bridesmaids wore coral colored knee length dresses that were the perfect pop of color for the under the sea themed decor.  Angelo wore gold shark cuff links and a matching tie clip. He had a little gold twisted metal pin with the initials of one of his friends that passed away that he pinned in his boutonniere. The boutonnieres were so unique, they were coral colored flowers inside a seashell. Both of his parents got teary-eyed when they opened the gifts from Angelo. He gave his dad a hammer with an inscription as well as a frame for his mom with a photo of her and him when he was only 1.  A little sign sat in a chair in the front row of the ceremony saying "we know you'd be here today if heaven weren't so far away", this was in honor of Deirdre's baby girl who passed away. She also had a locket with her photo in in that was attached to her bouquet.  The reception was decked out to look like a gorgeous under sea extravaganza. Coral and Aqua flowers, each with a shimmering starfish looked gorgeous along with the candle lit lanterns on each table. The guests found their seats by looking at the starfish on each chair that served as their place cards. The head table had a mermaid style Aqua overlay in the center! It was very whimsical and pretty. A little sign of two fish kissing draped from the front of the table, which said "Mr. and Mrs." Even the cake was adorned with shimmering seashells. At the entrance of the aquarium they had their guest book, which were sand dollars that everyone signed and put inside a crystal fish. There were Cozies monogrammed with "Two less fish in the sea"! Such a fun and beautiful night for this happy couple! Congrats Deirdre and Angelo! xoxoxoxo
