Remember that moment you first laid your eyes on that
“thing” that made your eyes just widen to its fullest capacity; the “thing” that
made you smile from ear to ear with the cheesiest smile like a child ……whatever
that “thing” may be to you, that “thing” to us, was that moment we first were
introduced to Ivy!!!
Ivy Astoria located in Ybor off of 7th avenue
(former location of Club Fuel) is now open to the public for special event and
wedding rentals. She is the newest, hottest, venue in town offering over 15,000
sq. ft. of space allowing for complete transition and flow especially for
weddings. We were able to witness how much she’s evolved from day one and
friends, she’s a beauty! One of our amazing “friendors” Jennifer S. co-owner
alongside her husband Anthony S. (aka Mr. Stone Chef) extended the warm
invitation to participate in a styled shoot for the debut of Ivy. We jumped on
the opportunity!
What was the
inspiration behind the exterior garden-esque look?
In our many inspiration sessions with Jennifer, we expressed
the need to showcase the outdoor garden area. Jennifer and Liz (of Liz Kimali
Events) began to work diligently and came up with the overall concept. We
immediately wanted to create a floral/greenery table runner to cascade down the
table. We also wanted to provide that garden like feel so we brought in lots of
deflexus (i.e. greenery) and incorporated that into the entire look: the cake
table, cocktail tables, etc.
What was our favorite shot of the whole photoshoot?
It was a combination of this look and this look. The interior shots allowed us to showcase Ivy’s beauty. The wood floors, the beautiful gorgeous chandeliers, & the beams in the ceiling.
We also loved creating the models bouquets and flower crowns. This complimented the bridal gowns provided by The Bride Tampa quite nicely.Venue: Ivy Astoria
