Armature Works Wedding | Brittany & Carl

Brittany and Carl’s wedding day was full of so much love, beautiful moments, and AMAZINGLY gorgeous details. The girls got ready at Le Meridien in their cute PJs and Brittany had these fluffy white bridal slippers that were to die for! Her Galahi Lahav gown, her sister (MOH), and her mom’s dress could not have looked better together. She wore her mom’s diamond necklace and had her grandmother’s bible for her something borrowed and something old. One of my favorite details was her invitation by Doyle Paper Company. They gave her her full stationery suite mounted in a floating frame. We always love photographing the stationery and it’s not always easy to lay it all out pretty during getting ready but this was so genius and then the couple has it to hang on their wall. Once Brittany was all ready we had her dad come in to see her and extra special cards for her parents to read.

Carl wore these fantastic Star Wars cufflings and had a custom made suit from Suit Supply that even had their wedding date sewn in. After they were ready it was off to University of Tampa for some groomsmen shenanigans before the ceremony!

One by one all the girls walked down the aisle ending with the 2 little flower girls who made sure they were throwing petals just as they practiced. Everyone waited in anticipation for the doors to open and Brittany to walk down the aisle arm in arm with her dad. I always love when churches have balcony’s so then one of us can be upstairs and one of us downstairs. After they were officially Mr. & Mrs. Petrilli, we went back to use the iconic steps of Le Meridien for the family and bridal party photos, and then headed over to Armature Works. The read their vows to each other on the dock right on the water and we literally could have shot there with them for an hour lol!

The Gathering space at Armature Works was so gorgeous! Rounds and long tables with gold, greenery and florals on high geometrics. The napkins had a “P” embroidered on each one, and the menu was clear with greenery underneath. Brittany’s grandmother had just celebrated her 80th birthday and they surprised her by singing happy birthday and a special dance with her husband. I’m just going to let you look at the reception it really doesn’t need many words! The New Royals Band definitely rocked out this party, and there was a flaming doughnut station (just sayin). It was SO MUCH FUN and clearly Brittany and Carl are loved by all. Thank you guys for having us it was such an honor to be there!! xoxox
