MORE ABOUT THIS DAY

An Ethereal Lakeside Wedding at a Private Tampa Estate, Straight Out of a Fairytale

Set along the tranquil shores of Lake Magdalene, Jenna & Owen’s wedding felt like something out of a storybook—a celebration where whimsy met timeless romance at his family’s brick estate in Tampa, FL. With an ambiance reminiscent of a modern fairytale, every detail reflected the magic of the day, blending soft blues, delicate pinks, and ethereal textures into an atmosphere that was nothing short of enchanting.

The ceremony unfolded on the estate’s side lawn, where the lake’s reflection shimmered behind the couple as they exchanged vows. Jenna, in a princess gown from Rome, Italy, looked every bit the vision of timeless romance. As the sun dipped toward the horizon, casting golden light across the water and filtering through the oak trees, guests gathered on the pool terrace for cocktail hour. The golden-hour glow reflected off champagne glasses and soft floral accents, while the relaxed elegance of the setting created the perfect transition into the evening’s festivities.

As twilight settled in, guests were welcomed beneath a beautifully draped tent on the estate’s tennis court, now completely transformed into an elegant dreamscape. For the reception, Jenna changed into her mother’s wedding gown—thoughtfully redesigned into a chic reception dress—a sentimental touch that made the evening all the more special. The reception design was a seamless blend of timeless romance and modern sophistication, anchored by a black and white checkered dance floor that set the stage for an unforgettable night. As music filled the air and candlelight flickered, Jenna & Owen’s celebration felt lifted from a Taylor Swift love song—romantic, ethereal, and deeply magical.

Jenna & Owen’s wedding at this private Tampa estate was a masterclass in turning a beloved family home into a setting worthy of a modern fairytale—a night where love, design, and golden-hour magic collided in the most unforgettable way.
