Rustic Lace and Burlap Wedding at the Wishing Well Barn

Janelle and Roberto became husband and wife with a ceremony at Sacred Heart Catholic Church, followed by a reception at the Wishing Well Barn. Their excitement radiates even from the photos! Janelle got ready with her girls at the Le Meridian hotel in downtown Tampa as light streamed in from two large windows. From the hotel, you could see Sacred Heart, where she would meet her groom in just a few hours! Janelle wore a beautiful lace gown with a layered skirt and her grandmother’s pearl earrings and necklace. Her hair hung in a loose fishtail braid with an intricately beaded hairpiece. The bridesmaids have dressed in powder blue floor-length gowns, which brought out the blue in Janelle’s bouquet!

Janelle and Roberto made googly eyes at the altar and giggled during their heartwarming ceremony. After their first kiss as husband and wife, they continued the party at a rustic open-air barn in Plant City. There were so many pretty, personalized details throughout the reception! The tables were set with vintage china and centerpieces of olive branches and rosemary. One of the highlights was their unique guest book – guests wrote their wishes for the couple on wooden ornaments that Janelle and Roberto will always be able to read during the holidays! The newlyweds shared their first dance under magical twinkle lights before their loved ones joined them on the dance floor. All four sets of Roberto and Janelle’s grandparents celebrated their decades and decades of marriage with an anniversary dance. Later during the night, a Puerto Rican band entered the barn and kept the dance floor alive with a special hour of live music! The night concluded with sparklers and fireworks as Janelle and Roberto made their exit as husband and wife.
