From the moment guests arrived, it was clear that this would be a wedding to remember.
Francesca and Felipe’s love story is one of deep connection and serendipity. Meeting through mutual friends, their relationship blossomed over shared adventures and a love for Italian cuisine (which made The Italian Club the perfect venue for their celebration).

A Venue Steeped in History
The Italian Club, with its stunning architecture and historical significance in the Ybor community, provided a beautiful and unique setting for Francesca and Felipe’s nuptials. The ceremony took place in the grand ballroom, where the couple exchanged vows under a canopy of soft lights and delicate florals. The soft, golden glow of the chandeliers added a romantic air to the moment, creating an intimate and memorable atmosphere.
Francesca was a vision in her elegant lace gown, with her hair styled in soft waves that complemented her classic bridal look. Felipe, looking dashing in his tailored black tuxedo, couldn’t take his eyes off his bride. Their vows were exchanged with heartfelt emotion, and their first kiss as newlyweds was met with applause from the family and friends who gathered to celebrate their love.
A Celebration of Love and Family
After the ceremony, the newlyweds and their guests made their way to the reception, where the elegance of the Italian Club truly shined. The space was adorned with elegant floral arrangements, soft candlelight, and touches of gold and ivory that perfectly complemented Francesca and Felipe’s vision for the day.
The reception was filled with joy and laughter, from the couple’s first dance as husband and wife to the heartfelt speeches that celebrated the couple’s bond. A delicious Italian-inspired dinner was served, complete with decadent desserts that delighted every guest. And, of course, the evening wouldn’t have been complete without the dancing, where everyone, young and old, came together to celebrate the couple’s love.
