An Elegant Old Florida Wedding - February 17, 2019

​Sarasota's Edison Keith Mansion, in the Phillippi Estate Park, was the ideal location for Linda and Cayden's elegant wedding with an old Florida feel. Our Jennifer Matteo Event Planning team worked with them to incorporate personal details and a stunning neutral color palette. 
 
The wedding parties spent the morning getting ready and taking some fun photos. Soft vintage-inspired neutral colors were incorporated in everything from robes to invitations and personal flowers. Creamy white garden roses and ranunculus were blended with Dusty Diller and sage colored eucalyptus leaves.
 
Following their first look, the couple and their wedding party prepared for the outdoor wedding ceremony. Gold chivari chairs sat beneath a pair of oak trees draped in Spanish moss. The aisle was marked with two white garden urns filled with greenery and white florals.
 
Cayden entered to the song "Marry Me" followed by the couple's wedding party. Once everyone was in place, Linda made her entrance escorted by her mother.
 
A cocktail hour followed the outdoor wedding ceremony, which included an assortment of butler passed hors d' oeuvres, and a Mediterranean inspired dip station. The newlyweds selected Moscow Mules and Classic Mojitos for their Signature Cocktails. Guests enjoyed Polaroid photos and shared some advice for the newlyweds. 
 
Inside, the dining room was arranged with round tables and gold chivari chairs, tables were draped in floor-length white linens and set with gold charger plates, vintage-inspired china, and custom-designed menu cards. Centerpieces included greenery and mercury glass votives and candlesticks holding various styles of candles.
 
Linda and Cayden's sweetheart table sat in front of a beautiful mantle filled with greenery and a collection of tall candles. Greenery, metallic tone candles, and the bridesmaid's bouquets filled the table, the two garden urns from the ceremony flanked the table.
 
In a unique twist, the couple's introductions and first dance to "Tenerife Sea" were done on the mansion's patio before inviting guests into the wedding reception.
 
The reception began with a welcome speech by the couple, followed by a plated salad selection, and family-style dinner service. After dinner, guests danced the night away, had some fun playing with props in the photo booth, and ended the evening with a family cake cutting and delicious cupcakes.
