Sarasota Luxury in Black and White – March 5, 2021

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.
