Tana and Brandon’s wedding at Le Méridien Tampa was a timeless black-and-white celebration filled with lush, romantic florals and elegant details. Set against the venue’s historic architecture, rich woodwork, and grand columns, their all-white floral palette created a beautiful contrast that felt both classic and dramatic.


For the ceremony, abundant white florals framed the couple with a fully flowered arch featuring hydrangeas, roses, babies breath, and soft greenery. Floral arrangements continued along the steps and aisle, transforming the entrance of Le Méridien into a romantic ceremony setting while complementing the building’s stately architecture.


Inside the reception, the black-and-white color palette was warmed by gold details throughout the room. Tall statement centerpieces filled with white hydrangeas, roses, baby’s breath, and cascading greenery brought height and drama to the tables, while lush low arrangements and candlelight created a softer, intimate feel. Gold chairs and chargers paired beautifully with the black linens and crisp white tablescapes.


One of our favorite floral moments was the sweetheart table. A sweeping installation of white hydrangeas, roses, and clouds of baby’s breath surrounded the table and spilled toward the floor, creating a dramatic focal point against the couple’s black sequin linen and feathered backdrop.


From the grand ceremony arch to the reception centerpieces and layers of white florals throughout the space, Tana and Brandon’s wedding was an elegant take on a classic black-and-white Tampa wedding—romantic, sophisticated, and perfectly suited to the historic beauty of Le Méridien.
