This past August my baby brother, Adam got married in the historic Fort Harrison Hotel in Clearwater, Florida. It was a family effort to pull the event together from all across the country!
I designed the invitations for them, including a gatefold invitation with belly-band and custom designed monogram.
In Florida in August keeping cool is a top priority. My sister, Melissa, found these great fans in the same blue as the wedding invites. We attached tags with their monogram and wedding date and laid them out so guests could take as one they entered the ballroom before the ceremony.
The cocktails were served outside on the roof-top balcony with a gorgeous view to the Clearwater Bay and on out to the Gulf of Mexico. The Best Man gave his heartfelt speech here, before we all ran back in to the air conditioning!
The historic hotel was recently re-hauled top to bottom. The ballroom was absolutely beautiful, complete with hand-painted gold leafing and crystal chandelier.
The traditional wedding cake was made by a local bakery. It contained one special layer for Adam & Noa - chocolate peanut butter! Very yummy!
The biggest family project was the Homemade Cookie Bar. My sister and mom spent weeks baking and freezing cookie dough. My sister traveled from Michigan to Florida with a suitcase full of cookie dough and a two year old. God bless her! We spent a day baking at our wonderful friends' home in nearby Oldsmar, FL. It was a great time to catch up with everyone and taste test!
It was a huge hit and the perfect ending to an amazing wedding. Best Wishes to Adam & Noa for a lifetime of happiness together! Love you both!
