Romantic and Rustic at the Rialto

The Rialto Theatre located in the historic Tampa Heights section of Tampa was the perfect setting for Matt and Chelsea’s wedding.
 
The exposed brick walls and plaster accents created a rustic backdrop that our Tailored Twig team enhanced with unique floral and decorative elements.
 
A custom wedding suite of vellum covered invitations, contemporary matte gold envelopes with random splatters provided a beautiful color pallet for accents and details thought the wedding. 

​A canopy of market lights shimmered above guest’s heads during Chelsea and Matt’s wedding ceremony and again as the room was repurposed for their wedding reception.
 
The floral focal structure was one of our favorites, a custom metal and wood arbor adorned with garland and blooms.Gold tone urns created columns which were topped with rustic wooden cross beams and wrapped with thick ropes of greenery, huge full king proteas, seeded eucalyptus and burgundy roses. 

In front of the arbor, the couple’s wedding ceremony was set with clear Ghost Chairs and an aisle that was dotted with chunky pillar candles and greenery.

Chelsea carried a stunning bouquet of lush greens, seeded eucalyptus, burgundy tipped king protea, pink wax flower and burgundy roses and dahlias.

​The color story beginning with the ceremony continued into the wedding reception. Not only did the beautiful couple stand below the arbor to say their ‘I Do’s’ but it was then moved to serve as the backdrop to their sweet heart table. 

​The reception was set with a mixture of rustic wooden feasting tables and tables draped in black velvet. Place settings were designed with gold reef charger plates, matte black dishes, gold flatware, pressed glass goblets, gray hemstitch napkins, and custom marble print design menus.
 
Tall vases of King protea, seeded eucalyptus, deep burgundy, antique pink and cream roses, pink wax flower, white freesia , burgundy dahlias created centerpieces that floated above the guest tables.

The organic textural elements and botanicals in deep pink and burgundy blended perfectly with the gold, black and grey tones throughout the historic theatre for the wedding of Chelsea and Matt’s dreams.
 
We were thrilled to work with this incredible couple as well as this team of Tampa wedding professionals.
