Making Your Day About Love – May 4, 2019

Ashley and Cody’s Siesta Key wedding was the kind that just makes our Jennifer Matteo Event Planning team smile. It was a day that was all about love and all about creating a wedding day that was a unique reflection of them.
 
The couple decided not to do a first look and to spend the morning with their wedding parties enjoying the day while waiting to see each other when they exchanged wedding vows on the white sand beach.
 
Ashley and Cody decided on a soft light color palette that was airy with a relaxed bohemian feel that paired with the waterfront wedding.
 
A white oversized “Mona Lisa” frame accented with greenery sat in the soft white sand setting the backdrop for the wedding ceremony. 
 
Ashely, wearing a soft flowing wedding gown with a cathedral length veil fastened to a floral headpiece carried a loose bouquet of peach and white with ranunculus, cottage roses and astilbe.
 
Cody stood waiting for his bride wearing linen slacks and vest with a white shirt and pale peach ranunculus boutonniere. 
 
After exchanging their wedding vows the couple headed off for some photographs around the resort with their wedding party and their two pups.
 
Guests relaxed at the tented reception, steps off the beach. An eclectic mix of lounge furniture continued the relaxed vibe that blended perfectly with the hand crafted, wood fired pizza and foods from a Sarasota based food truck featuring a unique mashup of Korean and Mexican foods.
 
After an evening of dancing the couple fed each other donuts and enjoyed delicious ice cream treats that included locally made gourmet pops made by POP Craft Pops.
 
This day was truly about love, it reflected Ashley and Cody, and their love for each other, family and friends.
