Old Florida Style Boca Raton Wedding - May 23, 2021

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.
