Opulent, luxurious and breathtaking would be the only way our Jennifer Matteo Event Planning team could describe this Miami Beach styled shoot.
 
We had the honor to be part of something truly special; from the incredible location to the talented team that was brought in from all over the country to coordinate, manage and execute this amazing shoot.  
 
The location selected was The Vila Casa Casuarina, a luxury boutique hotel and event venue in Miami Beach.  Casa Casuarina was built in 1930 and this renowned venue was formerly known as The Versace Mansion. It has undergone a few renovations over the years and was designed in the Mediterranean Revival architectural style. 
 
With luxury in mind, the day was styled with no expense spared. Every detail was a custom piece and well thought out to portray exactly what Gianni was about – over the top design, excellence and attention to every detail.
 
The over the top opulence of Versace was evident from the flowing one of a kind floral creations adorning tables to the unparalleled designs worn by the stunning models.  Each luxurious table-scape was unique and told a story. 
 
The rosé and gold room which was tucked back on the south side of the mansion was a crowd pleaser, as the room had never been photographed before.
 
Tablescapes were adorned with hand tailored florals created by Tampa designers Tailored Twig.  The collaboration between Tailored Twig and Jennifer Matteo Event Planning was evidenced by their spectacular design.
 
Every detail from the thoughtfully detailed bridal bouquets to the layering and accessorizing of each table was perfectly coordinated.

​Every inch of this beautiful, historic venue is breathtaking. We were thrilled to be able to style a second room where accents of grey-musky blue and white florals were used to accent the space. The unexpected addition of organic elements to the tablescapes added drama to the space.
 
We hope you enjoy the vision this extraordinary team brought to life.

Kim and Nick’s outdoor earthy, boho wedding was so much fun for our Jennifer Matteo Event Planning team to plan, style and to get really creative with. 
 
Kim kept it pretty simple, she asked for deep reds, candles and earthy elements to set the mood for her gusts. So Farm Tables were a must! 
 
They wanted to get married AT the beach but not ON the beach, so we found them the most amazing Sarasota wedding location, The Cottage on the Rocks. It sits on The Point of The Rocks in Siesta Key Florida, nestled away from all of the hustle and bustle.
 
This private location is just what they dreamed of and it is one of our favorite locations.
 
Kim chose a beautiful form fitting lace gown with a long sweeping train. Complimenting her gown, she wore a simple floral headband with a long sheer veil cascading down the back. She carried a lush bouquet of deep red ranunculus, red and white anemone, burgundy hanging amaranthus and seeded eucalyptus.
 
The couple met before the ceremony to exchange handwritten notes, without actually seeing each other.
 
The tone for the day had been set with an invitation ensemble in soft earthy tones. But the day also included unique, personalized elements like the custom labeled craft beers for each of Nick’s groomsmen.
 
Guests were welcomed to the beachside Siesta Key wedding ceremony with an elegant rustic welcome sign, wooden barrels and lanterns filled with candles. Dark wood chairs marked the ceremony space where guests were asked to unplug and turn off their phones and cameras.
 
Taking full advantage of the treelined waterfront space, we infused the beachfront with lanterns hanging from the trees, market lights and hundreds of candles. The bohemian styling included fabric runners, lush floral, mixed metals and rattan charger plates.
 
Congratulations Kim and Nick, your love of life and each other inspired us.

Sujatha and Sanjiv were amazing to work with, and this wedding was truly one for the books. 
 
The couple resides in Canada and when you are trying to plan a wedding long distance in Sarasota, it can be a bit of a challenge; but our Jennifer Matteo Event Planning team made it work. 
 
When Sujatha came to us and discussed her ideas, we knew we wanted to incorporate a lot of brilliant colors and really bring out the couple’s Indian heritage on their wedding day.
 
You will see that their reception design was nothing short of breathtaking. 
 
Their outdoor Sarasota wedding reception, at Mote Marine Laboratory, was designed to be a feast for the senses. 
 
The design incorporated layers of color and texture at every level of the reception space. Red brick floors were a base for an oversized white dance floor with crystal chandeliers floating above.
 
The dancefloor was surrounded by round tables draped in spectacular purple, fuchsia and hot pink linens.  Sparkling elements of gold were brought in through gold chiavari chairs, gold flatware, gold banded china and tall gold toned vases.
 
The vases cascaded with fuchsia and oranges roses and incorporated burgundy hanging amaranthus and thistle for texture.
 
A spectacular long head table sat at the head of the dance floor, the focal point being two high backed tufted chairs with colorful embroidered pillows. The table was set against a plant wall surrounded by trees and an explosion of brilliantly colored flowers.
 
Stunning details filled the entire space; colorful custom menu cards detailed the traditional Indian cuisine. Individual cupcakes and a beautiful wedding cake were adorned with brightly colored, hand piped henna designs from the Mehndi. 
 
One of the most spectacular elements was this custom designed elephant groom’s cake with a little surprise for the groom. #RollTide
 
Congratulations Sujatha and Sanjiv, we know you loved this design as much as we loved creating it for you.

Our Jennifer Matteo Event Planning team really loved working with Maria and Charles on this stunning holiday wedding at the Ringling’s Ca d’Zan.
 
Maria wanted a very passionate and fiery wedding (to match her personality). 
 
Being from Colombia, we wanted to emphasize that Maria’s culture was a big part of their wedding celebration.
 
From Charles’s custom designed suit combining a brilliant red jacket with a black shawl collar and classic black bow tie to Maria’s stunning strapless lace gown by Spanish designer, Pronovias; their personalities were showcased.
 
Maria carried a breathtaking, cascading bridal bouquet of red roses flown in from Colombia, which were utilized throughout  the wedding décor, deep burgundy amaranthus and glossy red anthurium for one of the most unique bouquets we have ever seen.
 
Their passion and fiery love for each other, her Latin heritage and for life were showcased in all of the little details that made this wedding such a show stopper.
 
From a red satin box filled with gold coins to the towering urns exploding with brilliant red flowers the outdoor wedding ceremony complimented the holiday décor and twinkling light of the Ringling.
 
The evening reception that followed combined deep ruby uplighting to accent the Ca d’Zan’s façade, deep red linen, and spectacular floral arrangements; with gold rimmed glasses and gold chivari chairs completing the tablescapes.
 
We wish much love and happiness to Maria and Charles; this day was not only a wedding, but an incredible reflection of your personalities and an experience for all of your guests.

Chelsea and Chris are an awesome, fun, adventurous couple; they gave us a color palette and we were able work from those colors to bring their wedding day to life.
 
Chelsea’s bouquet of burgundy and cream with rich golden accents and ribbon mixed with eucalyptus and succulents stood out against her lace wedding gown with cascading organza ruffles.
 
Chris kept his look classic with a traditional black vested tuxedo with a notch collar and a simple white pocket square.
 
Their Sarasota wedding began at the beautiful Long Boat Island Chapel, located right off Sarasota Bay. The gazebo with its brick walkways and lush topical trees and gardens set the perfect backdrop for Chelsea and Chris’ outdoor wedding ceremony.
 
Soft violin music and a special presentation of their wedding rings set the stage for them to exchange their wedding vows.
 
Their rich colors were carried throughout their special day in the bridesmaid’s flowers, ceremony décor and elements of their wedding reception.
 
The outdoor wedding reception was hosted at the Mote Marine Laboratory and Aquarium; this waterfront location showcases everything that is special about Sarasota and her islands.
 
Chelsea and Chris are so in love and it really shows. They loved spending time alone and their amazing wedding images really capture their love for each other and the fun they have together.
 
They closed out their special night escaping in a vintage car, matching their color palate, of course.
 
Congratulations Chelsea and Chris, our team at Jennifer Matteo Event Planning loved creating the wedding of your dreams.

There are few places in Florida to host sunset weddings more breathtakingly beautiful than a rooftop wedding in Sarasota. 
 
Our Jennifer Matteo Event Planning team immediately knew that hosting Angelica and Jon’s wedding on the rooftop of the Westin Sarasota was the perfect location for a sunset wedding..
 
Their modern, custom designed wedding invitations set the tone of things to come with a touch of glam and a little accent of rose gold.
 
The resort’s rooftop pool deck with sweeping waterfront views was transformed for the couple’s wedding ceremony. They added chic and luxurious touches by including tall metal trumpet vases with cascading white phalaenopsis orchids that marked the aisle, while shimmering crystal chandeliers, clear ghost chairs, as well as an oversized white picture frame created a magnificent backdrop to exchange their vows.
 
Family and friends dined on an elegant six-course tasting menu that included whimsical touches like artistically presented Grilled Cheese and Tomato Soup, Paella, and bite-sized sweet treats.
 
The clean, chic design and elegant details continued throughout the rooftop wedding reception with unique, understated table linen, floating candles, custom menu cards, and subtle touches to bring in rose gold accents.
 
We are sure that this stylish rooftop wedding with its chic, modern, elegant décor and touches of rose gold indeed checked the boxes on all of the Angelica and Jon’s wedding wishes.
 
Congratulations, Angelica and Jon, we wish you a lifetime of happiness.
