Tanya and Paul's Wedding

We wanted to share this awesome video from Tanya and Paul's March wedding. Their wedding took place at the Marriott Waterside in Downtown Tampa, and it was truly amazing. Alex and Alex (yes, there are 2 Alex's at Voila!) of Voila Cinematic did such an amazing job capturing every aspect of the wedding. This shows exactly why having a cinematographer for your wedding is a MUST!

Tanya and Paul's wedding was so much fun. They are two of the sweetest people ever- we have such great brides and grooms! Thank you to all of the vendors who made this wedding a success, and thank you to Tanya and Paul for being amazing!

Pink Initiative Event

We started 2010 off with an awesome charity event benefitting the Pink Initiative. Pink Initiative is a charity that raises money for breast cancer research, and it's all put on and supported by event professionals. Lifelong Studios sent us some of the photos from the event. You can also see the whole event setup in a time lapse video put together by Voila Cinematic, which we posted a few weeks ago.

On top of raising money for breast cancer awareness, we had a blast! We actually built a Go-Go dancer platform, and the dancers were awesome! There was a VIP lounge area, complete with our custom furniture and a special VIP bar. It was an awesome event, and we want to send a huge thank you to everyone who participated!

Photo Shoot with Limelight Photography at the Intercontinental Hotel

We put together a photo shoot at the beautiful Intercontinental Hotel with Limelight Photography and several other amazing wedding vendors! Chic Sweets provided a beautiful dessert table that looked incredibly delicious. The wonderful linens were provided by Linens By The Sea, and the chivari chairs were compliments of Signature Events By Design. Café Ala Carte provided refreshments from their beautiful espresso cart. We even had Shutterbooth there, and we created a lounge area around the booth! The Dressing Room and Anglo Couture provided the beautiful dresses that our model wore. And our model was actually our very own bride, Ms. Tanya Strove! We were so excited to get to work with her! Thank you to everyone who played a part in making the photo shoot as gorgeous as it was!

Thank you again to Limelight Photography for taking these gorgeous photographs!

Quorum Cares Customer Appreciation Party

MMD Events recently designed the Quorum Cares Customer Appreciation Party benefitting the Moffitt Cancer Center. Of course the theme for the party was pink, for Breast Cancer Awareness Month, and it was gorgeous. We were able to do so many cool things for this party! Limelight Photography was at the party, and they captured some of the work that we did.

Everything looks so beautiful in pink! Thanks to the Quorum for hosting the party, and to Limelight Photography for taking such beautiful photos!

Gasparilla International Film Festival Benefit Party

We had the pleasure of doing the decor and florals for the 2010 Gasparilla International Film Festival's Benefit Party and Art Auction on September 11th. The party was held at the amazing Ritz Ybor - it's an awesome venue if you've never been there! The art was beautiful, and everyone had a lot of fun!

CSE Photography was there photographing the event, and they sent us some of the photos! We wanted to share some of them because the colors are just fantastic!

Aren't the colors great together? It was such a wonderful look for a party! Thank you to Monica and Erica of Elan Event Studio for putting together such a great event!

Photoshoot with Limelight Photography at the Marriott Westshore

This shoot was photographed by Limelight Photography at the Marriott Westshore. We wanted to create a sort of whimsical feel, and pink was the perfect color to do that with! And the table centerpieces are very "Alice In Wonderland", don't you think?
