Amanda and Clay envisioned a celebration that felt both timeless and modern, blending crisp white accents with lush greenery against the Gulf Coast horizon. Their stunning rooftop reception at Hotel Zamora perfectly captured this classy and simple aesthetic, creating an unforgettable atmosphere for their loved ones.
A Sophisticated Rooftop Celebration
After a traditional ceremony at Saint Mary Our Lady of Grace, the couple invited guests to the breathtaking Hotel Zamora for a modern rooftop reception. Amanda, a registered dietician, prioritized a high-quality menu and an open-air setting that allowed the natural beauty of St. Pete Beach to shine throughout the night.
The design focused on a refined palette of white, sage green, and black, reflecting the couple’s desire for simplicity. By choosing a venue that offered stunning outdoor options, they ensured their 120 guests could enjoy the coastal breeze while celebrating under the stars in a truly beautiful, airy environment.
Designing with Classic Black and White
To elevate the modern aesthetic, the couple carefully selected rental pieces that added architectural interest without overwhelming the space. Our Clear Acrylic Ghost Chairs provided a sleek, transparent look that allowed the rooftop views to remain the focal point while adding a contemporary touch to the reception’s dining setup.
The centerpiece of the evening’s festivities was a striking Checkered Dance Floor, which perfectly complemented the traditional black and white tuxedos worn by the groom and his men. This classic design choice created a high-contrast focal point that tied the entire classy and simple theme together beautifully for everyone.
Dancing Under the St. Pete Stars
Amanda looked radiant with a natural glow, thanks to the expert team at Femme Akoi Beauty Studio, who translated her Pinterest inspiration into reality. Feeling confident and beautiful, she spent the night on the dance floor as the energy remained high, fueled by the couple’s favorite club-inspired music.
From the emotional walk down the aisle to the hilarious and heartfelt toasts, every moment was captured perfectly against the backdrop of the Gulf Coast. The combination of elegant decor and high-energy entertainment ensured that Amanda and Clay’s wedding was a seamless reflection of their love and shared style.
