Jessie and Allen wanted a celebration that felt classic, timeless, and unmistakably Old Florida. At the waterfront Tampa Yacht and Country Club, a palette of white, china blue, and greenery—softened with a touch of gold—came together in a tented reception styled with the help of Gabro Event Services.
An Old Florida Waterfront Celebration
Raised in the area, Jessie and Allen wanted their February wedding to feel rooted in where they came from. The waterfront setting of the Tampa Yacht and Country Club set the tone, and the couple styled the day around ginger jars, a silver platter, and a magnolia tree, weaving in traditional chinoiserie pottery.
The palette stayed classic—white, blues, and greenery with a whisper of gold—while the tented reception added a layer of romance against the water.
Blue, White, and Timeless Details
Karen Cerboni of EventFull Weddings shaped a design that felt formal yet personal, layering lush florals and china blue accents through the ceremony and reception. The result was an elegant, editorial look that still felt like a family home.
For the couple, the priorities were clear—band, food, and bar—so the celebration doubled as a party for everyone, all within a setting that honored their roots.
Gabro Rentals, Woven Into the Design
Gabro Event Services supplied the seating, flooring, lighting, and specialty furnishings that gave the tented reception its polished, timeless finish. Classic seating and layered lighting let the Old Florida palette carry from daylight into the evening.
From the waterfront ceremony to the dance floor under the tent, the rental inventory did the quiet work that makes a classic celebration look effortless.
