Nestled along the Gulf Coast in Venice, Florida, Chelsea and Tom's micro destination wedding was not only a celebration of their love but also a colorful and intimate affair that left an indelible mark on everyone who attended.

The couple chose Our Lady of Lourdes Church as the venue for their special day. This beautiful local church, known for its welcoming atmosphere and picturesque setting, provided the perfect backdrop for Chelsea and Tom's nuptials. The church's serene ambiance was transformed into a vibrant, tropical paradise that reflected Chelsea's love for hot pink and all things sparkly.


Chelsea's love for hot pink was evident in every detail of the wedding decor. The entrance of Our Lady of Lourdes Church was adorned with a cascade of hot pink rose petals, creating a breathtaking pathway that led guests into the church. Complementing the petals were elegant Florida palms, adding a lush, tropical touch to the decor. The combination of vivid pinks and greenery created a visually stunning and joyous atmosphere that perfectly encapsulated the couple's vibrant personalities.


Chelsea's bouquet was nothing short of spectacular. Designed by the talented team at Peachey Petals, it was a masterpiece of hot pink blooms. The bouquet featured an array of stunning flowers, each petal carefully selected to reflect the bride's bold and vivacious spirit. As Chelsea walked down the aisle, her bouquet served as a dazzling focal point, perfectly complementing her radiant smile and the sparkle in her eyes.
