The Powel Crosley Estate - November 18, 2017

5/30/2018

Comments

 
Picture
Jenny and Michael chose The Powel Crosley Estate for it's history, architecture and well...the view!  

To style this elegant affair, we pulled colors from the building itself - ivory, gold and touches of blush. We also incorporated navy, as a homage to Michael's time in the military.  

I love a good "first look" and theirs did not disappoint! The couple shared a few moments together, before they said "I Do," and I have to say it was a really special time (even for me) as I stood back and watched the tears flow!

Candle light adorned the tables with soft floral centerpieces, while chandeliers floated over the outdoor dance floor. The guests danced the night away, while watching an amazing sunset over the Gulf of Mexico.

Guests flew in from overseas (England to be exact) to share in the wedding, and the love of family and friends was surely the focal point of this elegant affair.

Sarasota Fashionable Bride - November 5, 2017

Simple, elegant... and oh-so perfect!

​Elia has a style all of her own- wanting things to be clean, modern and of course...elegant.  

This style is apparent in her show stopping gown by Carolina Herrera, but also in the slightest detail, down to her table settings.

We talked at length about how to "dress" her table, and landed on a simple design, but one that really made sense with her overall vision.

The florals were all white, with pops of vibrant greenery, and were mixed in amongst the banyan trees of Selby Garden, which was the perfect location for their day.

Although they blended two cultures together, and many languages were being spoken, the language of love was definitely the one everyone understood. Family came first at this fashion forward wedding - and that is what really matters most.

This "Foodie" wedding was one for the books, and also for the ever popular Delish.com!

We were honored to be featured, and couldn't wait to spread the word...so here it goes!

Katelyn and Marc are  some amazing people, who wanted an unconventional wedding celebrating food, fun and of course - sprinkles.  They also happen to be the best in the industry - Katelyn is an established wedding photog and Marc is a mouth watering good chef - #PowerCouple.

I got to know them through industry connections and when Kate said she wanted me to plan her wedding in 8 weeks - I said "Sure!"  

So it began, I adored every detail of this wedding and I am so thankful that Delish.com did also!

Sarah & Austin - Selby Gadens - November 18, 2017

When you decide that Selby Gardens is the location of your dream wedding, you are choosing both a quintessential Sarasota icon as well as an ever evolving art house, that never ceases to amaze.

Sarah & Austin decided that this waterside garden setting was perfect for their romantic, soft wedding vision - and we were lucky enough to be the ones to bring it to life!

Sarah asked for soft blush tones, grey, and Ivory with a pop of Navy for Austin.  This was achieved with soft blooms, beautiful stationary and little touches such as the menu cards, table numbers, and even Austin's floral tie.

The location certainly set the tone, but Sarah & Austin's genuine love for each other carried it through - I am sure you can see from the photos - they are truly smitten with each other!
Thank you to the team who made it happen!

Meg & Alicia - Sarasota Yacht Club -November 11, 2017

This destination couple were such a pleasure to plan with.  From their kindness to the love that they shared - it was a true honor to get to know them.  

Meg and Alicia wanted a water side ceremony - and the Sarasota Yacht Club was the perfect location.  Their ceremony was pure perfection with water views and beautiful florals to compliment the view.

With dusty accents, and pops of color - the florals were stunning, and just right for their vision. 

Cake isn't their thing - but donuts were!  We made it happen with a donut cart from The Amish Baking Company.  

With just a few "beachy" details - white starfish and a sandy set up for their escort cards - guests got just the right amount of the Siesta Key vibe, without going overboard.

Every moment of planning with this amazing couple was so much fun, I am so happy to them - and wish them a lifetime of morning donuts together!

Thank you to these Fab Vendors!

Jessica & Travis - Mote Marine Aquarium - December 29, 2017

​Jewel tones, Rich fabrics, a BEAUTIFUL couple and a few fish - all came together to make Jessica and Travis’ Mote Marine wedding one to remember!  She had a vision of moody tones, matched with rich wooden tables topped off with some super cool details.


From their “I Do” at the adorable outdoor gazebo, to their “home cooking” menu - their big day was truly reflective of who they were as a couple.  At JMEP we love to learn about our couples and make sure that the little details are brought out in their wedding, that way, we never plan the same wedding twice!

Touches of aviation, and travel were apparent to reflect the couples love for both, and we had so much fun playing with the color palette, to give Jessica and Travis exactly what they were looking for.

Rachel & Andy - Selby Gardens, Sarasota FL, March 3, 2018

The love between Rachel & Andy is electric.  Honestly, from our first meeting - I could tell they were not engaged for the wedding, but for the marriage they wanted to share together.  They are both full of live, love and laughter!  
The inspiration?  A cake - actually, THE cake.  Rachel fell in love with it, and we built their wedding around it's modern edges and fun colorful palette.  

​Let's talk about the flowers for a second, well maybe they deserve more than just a second!  We envisioned an Hombre effect for all the florals, and Victoria Blooms executed it perfectly!  The modern feel was brought to life with the use of angular acrylic signs, cake stand, invitations, even the arbor itself - which was designed by JMEP and we are simply in love with!

​The clean lines of the acrylic were a perfect match with the lines of the Navy stripes that Rachel wanted to incorporate into her design.  We used a fun Save the Date to set the tone, and carried it through with table runners and ribbons to accent and pull the look together!

​As we say, success is always in the details and this wedding had it's fair share!  We loved designing for this super cool couple, and wish them a lifetime of happiness together!

Thank you to this amazing team!
