2009 May 04 – So Simply Special

Tuyen and Tuan were married on May 2nd, 2009 at the Mahaffey Theater in Downtown St. Petersburg. The day started with a traditional Vietnamese tea ceremony in the morning, followed by a Western Ceremony in the late afternoon on the Lawn of the Mahaffey Theater. Tuyen and Tuan chose Orange and Navy as the colors of their wedding. For the Western Ceremony they had a Bamboo arch decorated with ivory fabric and accented with orange Mokara orchids and lilies. The aisle was accented with Orange Floral Pomanders with navy and orange ribbons braided for the handles. The final touch was the Orange rose petals trailing down the outer edges of the aisle. After the ceremony the guests moved indoors for the reception in the Grand Ballroom overlooking the water. After picking up their placecards at the entrance to the Ballroom, they entered the room to Navy floor length table linens and a beautiful centerpiece in the center of the table with ivory ribbons on the outside and beautiful Orange Mokara orchids inside. The Ballroom was uplight with different colors of blues, purples and ambers supplied by Josh from Inspire blue and white wedding cake Entertainment.The wedding cake was placed on top of a glass block cake stand and the Groom was suprised by the Bride with a replica of his dog for the Groom’s Cake.The guests were treated to a 10 course Vietnamese meal by Hao Wah Catering. After some dancing to work off dinner, they guests sent the Bride and Groom off with a fireworks send-off. Thanks to the great vendors for helping pull off such a great day for Tuyen and Tuan.
