Classic and Charming

The historic Spaffford House and ballroom at Tampa’s gem of a venue, The Orlo, has the quaint charm that Abi and Bryan wanted for their wedding day. The original architectural details of the house, including the beautiful hardwood floors and stunning staircase, become part of the decor itself. These unique features are highlighted by the sweetest color palette of white and light blue. Large floral arrangements on pedestals flank the couple at the altar and then double as a classy frame next to the couple’s sweetheart table. The same combination of white roses, anemones and ranunculus with accents of light blue delphinium, blue thistle, dusty miller and eucalyptus in low compote bowls alternate with floating candles for the reception centerpieces. Instead of a traditional cake, Abi and Bryan opt for the delightful Clara Rose Ice Cream cart to treat guests to a variety of ice cream cookie sandwiches. And don’t forget their fur family! Precious pup, Maggie, even stops by for pictures with Mom and Dad and makes her very own entrance on the dance floor to “Who Let the Dogs Out”. (Check out the familiar face on Bryan’s socks!)
