Tropical Nuptials at The Gasparilla Inn

The ocean breeze gently ambled up the Floridian island coastline as preparation for Allison and Michael’s wedding began. The couple chose the historic Gasparilla Inn to host their tropical nuptials.

Allison and Michael officially said “I do” at the Boca Grande Lighthouse United Methodist Church. Carried by cheers and well wishes of loved ones, they exuberantly emerged through the red doors of the chapel as Mr. and Mrs. Faucette!

Allison and Michael’s tented reception could be described best as effervescent. Twinkle lights and paper lanterns swayed in the sailcloth tent, while pops of pink and coastal corals dotted each table. Elevated arrangements of palm leaves added an additional tropical touch.

It was an absolutely joyful day. The energy in the tent was as vibrant as the hot pink roses on the bride’s cake, from cocktail hour until their sparkler exit! Thank you for letting us be a small part of your day, Allison and Michael! Wishing nothing but the best to the Faucettes!
