An Italian Market Welcome Dinner and Tropical Wedding Day

Behind the Frame

Breezi & Leonardo

Breezi and Leonardo celebrated their wedding weekend by creating a perfect marriage of their favorite places— Leonardo's hometown of Rome, Italy and Breezi's childhood vacation spot in Seaside, Florida.

The couple honored Leo's Italian heritage for their welcome dinner by taking over a corner of the town square and transforming the local gourmet grocer into an Italian piazza and market for a seated Italian dinner.

They made use of the entire town for the wedding day, getting ready at the bride's childhood vacation home before tying the knot at the Chapel at Seaside, followed by cocktails on the beach and a tiki-themed after party reception.

The Welcome Dinner

Amorology transformed a corner of the town square in Seaside, Florida into an Italian piazza and gourmet market, creating an immersive welcome dinner experience to kick off the celebrations for Breezi and Leonardo's wedding weekend.

They transformed the outside of the market with new facades and restocked the shelves with custom Italian goods that guests could help themselves to with custom shopping bags. They took over the courtyard of the nearby hotel where their guests were staying for additional seating for their gourmet Italian dinner. Guests returned to the piazza for limoncello, cannolis, affogato and dancing the night away before the couple made their grand exit on a pasta-adorned vespa.

Wedding Day

Breezi and Leo's wedding festivities continued the following day at the bride's childhood vacation home in the heart of Seaside. They walked the idyllic streets to the nearby chapel, where they tied the knot in a ceremony full of daisies in honor the bride's grandmother—complete with a daisy toss upon exiting the church.

After unburying the bourbon, guests were led through town by bagpipes, a nod to the bride's schooling in Scotland. Guests enjoyed cocktail hour at a pavilion on the beach where the couple had a barefoot first dance that was crashed by their dog, Snacks, as the sun set behind them.

After sunset, guests walked over to a nearby Tiki Bar for 6 courses of experiential passed hors d'oeuvres, each with their own matching cocktail. The couple ended the night by bringing their guests to a local bar for an after party to dance the night away on tables and crowd surf.
