Lauren and Carl’s vintage-inspired St. Petersburg wedding unfolded like a love story within NOVA 535, a hidden gem in downtown St. Pete. From the first glimpse on the balcony to the last dance beneath the historic venue’s rafters, every moment was infused with charm and allure.

The backdrop of NOVA’s private courtyard, vibrant bamboo, and lush greenery set the stage for a romantic outdoor ceremony. Cascading florals adorned a rustic arch, their vibrant hues of reds, pinks, and terracotta echoing the natural beauty of their surroundings. As guests entered the zen atmosphere, they were greeted with a glass of Prosecco to sip on while they watched in awe as the couple exchanged vows.

As the sun dipped below the horizon, the celebration seamlessly transitioned indoors, where NOVA 535‘s industrial chic ambiance lent a touch of urban sophistication to the festivities. The loft, with its exposed brick walls and Brazilian hardwood floors, provided the perfect setting for a lively cocktail hour, while downstairs, the reception buzzed with excitement.

In keeping with the wedding venue‘s character, every detail of the decor was thoughtfully curated to evoke a sense of vintage charm and timeless elegance. Antique trinkets and vintage cameras added a touch of nostalgia to the celebration. Working typewriters whimsically printed out the night’s itinerary, inviting guests to immerse themselves fully in the couple’s enchanting world.

And what better way to honor Lauren and Carl’s furry companion than with a signature drink named “The Dobby,” crafted from Prosecco and infused with love? This playful nod to their beloved dog served as a reminder of the couple’s deep bond and shared joy.

As the newlyweds danced the night away beneath NOVA’s soaring ceilings, surrounded by friends and family, it was clear that their wedding was more than just an event—it was a reflection of their love story. As the evening drew to a close, the couple began their journey as newlyweds, running through a spectacular sparkler exit as family and friends cheered them on.
