Tara & Alex

an elegant wedding ceremony and reception at Villa Serenita, St. Thomas, USVI

Tara and Alex were married at Villa Serenita, a private vacation villa rental located on the east end of St. Thomas, US Virgin Islands. The style of the day was understated elegance and photographer Megan Biggs captured the day perfectly.

The morning started with mimosas and bridal beauty for the girls while the groom and groomsmen spent the morning splashing in the pool.

I loved the fun and thoughtful details from the balloons to the matching robes during the ladies getting ready. And be sure to check out Tara’s gown and the bridesmaids dressed. The lace detail on otherwise modern wedding gown was simply stunning. And the mismatched bridesmaids dresses were the perfect mix.

Without any additional decor, Villa Serenita is a pretty dreamy venue for a wedding. But the blush and nuetral color scheme and understated details really made this wedding stand out. The floral design featured white blooms with a touch of blush and lots of euclyptus greenery in both the bouquets and the garland centerpieces.

For me, however, the stand out piece of the decor was the mirrored seating chart which reflected the coconut palms and ocean by day and the twinkling candlelight once the sun set.
