Ashley and Josh’s Urban Stillhouse elopement is proof that you can have an elopement with all the dreamy details—while staying cool and comfortable in the Florida heat during the hot summer months. Their celebration was intimate, stylish, and full of personal touches, all within one of the most beautiful indoor wedding venues in St. Pete.

A First Look with Dad to Begin the Day

Ashley started the day with  a sweet first look with her father—a sweet and emotional moment that set the tone for the day.

Why An Urban Stillhouse Elopement is Perfect for Summer Months

Urban Stillhouse offers a stunning air-conditioned space that still gives off all the moody, romantic vibes. Upstairs, there’s a private room—it’s perfect for small ceremonies, cocktail hours and even small receptions!

Romantic Private Vows in the Tasting Room

Ashley and Josh chose to read their private vows in the cozy Tasting Room downstairs after the ceremony, and it was the perfect quiet moment just for the two of them, surrounded by whiskey barrels and moody lighting.

A Cocktail-Style Reception

Urban Stillhouse offers a flexible setup that’s ideal for elopements with a few guests. Their upstairs event room was used for both the ceremony and the reception—they simply flipped the space while guests enjoyed a cocktail hour in the attached lounge. Instead of a formal seated dinner, Ashley and Josh opted for an extended cocktail-style reception with drinks, hors d’oeuvres, and a gorgeous dessert spread (plus cake, of course!).

It was relaxed, joyful, and beautifully curated—everything we love about eloping.

FAQ: Can You Have a Wedding Party When You Elope?

Heck yes, you can. Ashley and Josh included a small bridal party in their day, and the whole group added so much love and personality to the celebration. Whether you want your siblings, best friends, or even your dog standing beside you—we’ll help you make it happen.

A Bright + Joyful Floral Moment

Ashley’s bouquet was a stunner from Arms of Persephone. Here’s what she chose:

• Size: Medium

• Style: Organic/Round Blend

• Color Palette: The Bright Palette

• Ribbon: Classic Satin Wrap

Colorful, fresh, and just the right mix of whimsy and elegance—it paired perfectly with her classic bridal look and the warm tones of the venue.
