Our Jennifer Matteo Event Planning team loved working with Ally and Josh on their spectacular Old Florida-styled wedding at The Addison in Boca Raton.

The building constructed in 1926 is a historic estate filled with old-world elegance and extraordinary architectural charm.

The couple loved the Old Florida style. Their destination wedding was infused with tropical colors, flowers, and details – from the invitation suites to the incredible wedding cake.

Each bridesmaid wore a gown in a different color, including coral, papaya, and peach. Their bouquets brought in all of the colors and featured similar flowers as the centerpieces.

Ally's elegant ballgown with lace detailing popped against the background of her wedding party's dresses and flowers.

Josh and his groomsmen looked handsome in their blue suits with patterned ties and tropical tone pocket squares.

The wedding ceremony was set in a courtyard under 100-year-old banyan trees with a cascading fountain as the backdrop. A magnificent asymmetrical floral wedding structure in brilliant tropical flowers framed the couple perfectly.

​Their wedding ceremony included a personalized wine ceremony, and their dog, Daisy, who wore a sign reading "I Loved Her First."

This was not Daisy's only appearance. The bride's choice for the signature cocktail was the 'Dog – Loma," a spin on her favorite, a Paloma. The second was dedicated to the groom's favorite Mojito cocktail. The Josh-ito was a hit!

In addition to the personalized cocktails, the cocktail hour was filled with delicious comfort foods, including Aged Cheddar Grilled Cheese Sandwiches, Pigs in a Blanket, Short Rib Tacos, and Red Chili and Curry Seared Ahi Tuna.

The estate's ballroom with original pecky cypress accents, magnificent wrought iron chandeliers played off the tones of Mallard and Brass with bright tropical flowers.

Modern glassware, wooden chargers, table numbers, and velvet linens added texture and interest.

Other focal points included a lavish dessert display with bitesize treats and the couple's three-tiered white wedding cake embellished with dried citrus and fresh bright-colored florals.

Our Jennifer Matteo Event Planning team knows there is no such thing as a small detail, even when if the wedding only has 20 guests.
 
Our team loved working with Rebecca and Marvin on their recent Siesta Key beach wedding. Their intimate wedding was filled with incredible flowers and fabulous food.
 
The day began at a private home where the couple and their wedding party got ready and took some time for amazing photos. We love the delicate embroidery, opaque fabric, and detailing in Rebecca’s elegant wedding gown. 
 
Their bouquets and boutonnieres included blush, lavender, and white florals – including one special request from Rebecca. Peonies, her favorite flower. Which luckily in season and came in a variety of colors and textures.
 
After their first look and some photos on the house’s rooftop, the couple and their guests made their way to Siesta Key for a luxurious wedding. The details, from the chairs to the florals, were lush and unexpected for a beach wedding. Natural wood ‘King Louis’ chairs created an aisle in the sand, flanking a petal-covered walkway. Four tall garden urns marked each end of the aisle, overflowing with colorful flowers.
 
Wedding guests were greeted by Champagne and an infused water station with Strawberry-Basil and Blueberry-Rosemary waters. ‘I’m Yours’ played softly in the background as Rebecca made her way down the aisle where the couple exchanged their wedding vows surrounded by family and close friends. The beach wedding ended in a Champagne toast before returning to the guest house.
 
After a welcome by the groom, the newlyweds and their guests enjoyed a relaxing evening filled with delicious food stations. 
 
The evening included a Modern Artisan Cheese Display, Charcuterie Station, and Nosh Bar with various Dips and Breads. The evening also included an incredible selection of Small Plates that included – a salad of Campari Tomatoes, Ricotta Salata and Honey-Basil Vinaigrette, Beef Tenderloin Skewers with Horseradish Crema, Tropical Shrimp Ceviche, Mini Wagyu Beef Sliders, Jerk Chicken Lollipops and Chicken Tenders with Honey Mustard.
 
As we said, there’s no such thing as a small detail!

One thing our Jennifer Matteo Event Planning team loves is a bride who loves to showcase her love for sparkles!

We loved working with Caprice and Jon because that was precisely Caprice's vision for her wedding.
 
The couple's luxurious Sarasota wedding was designed in black and white with a touch of silver to add the glitz and glamour the bride was looking for.

From the stunning black wedding invitation suite with silver lettering to her all-white bridal bouquet with a shimmering wrap, every detail was black or white with a touch of sparkle.
 
Their day began with a first look on the hotel's rooftop deck overlooking Sarasota. They were joined for photos by their wedding party, dressed in black.
 
The ceremony space was created by draping the entire room in white. The focal point was a white wedding structure overflowing with stems of white orchids and a crystal chandelier.

The space was set with silver chairs and floating candles in glass cylinders lining the aisle.
 
Caprice made her entrance, escorted by her father, to a harpist playing Schubert's "Ava Maria." The couple exchanged their wedding vows in a private ceremony, surrounded by family and close friends.
 
Following the ceremony, wedding guests enjoyed a cocktail hour with an assortment of butler passed hors d' oeuvres as well as a Pasta Station and Antipasti Display. Before making their way into the ballroom.
 
Every direction you turned, the ballroom shimmered. Glass charger plates and luxurious metallic chairs reflected the light from around the room. Crystals and eclectic chandeliers hung from the ceiling while collections of candles lit the tablescape.

​Shimmering black linen, custom black menu cards, and black napkins accented with white orchids completed the tabletop. Each table was created with luxurious collections of flowers in unique vessels.
 
After her sneak peek at the ballroom, Caprice exclaimed, "Everything is Stunning," and loved the allure that the silver details brought in. 
 
One of the focal points of the design was a ten-tiered white and silver cake decorated with handcrafted sugar flowers. It had silver jewel-embellished bands as well as intricate designs on each tier. 
 
Every detail of this luxurious Sarasota wedding focused on the vision the bride shared with our team. Chic lounge furniture, delicious food, and shimmering details all completed this magical design.
