| Our Jennifer Matteo Event Planning team enjoyed working with an amazing team of professionals to create a dream wedding for Beth and Matt. When we say it was stunning from head to toe, we mean that literally. Beth had her wedding gown hand crafted for her beautiful outdoor wedding at Sarasota’s Marie Selby Gardens. Beth’s wedding gown was very relaxed in its flowing design with simple spaghetti straps, a drop waist accented with a wide crystal belt. Her wedding bouquet was a beautiful explosion of greenery with ivy, ruscus, eucalyptus and succulents dotted with soft white ranunculus, veronica and white anemone. The accent of lush greenery was used as the theme for the bouquets of the bridal party and the décor. Matt and his groomsmen looked handsome in their tailored suits accented with soft grey neckties, checkered pocket squares and uniquely styled fishing fly boutonnieres. Their simple elegant invitation suite was a classic yet modern design with accents of greenery. Marie Selby Botanical Gardens provided the perfect location for their wedding as well as some breathtaking décor. The abundance of banyan and oak trees, tropical foliage and rock formations blended with the rustic, yet sophisticated feel of the day. After exchanging their vows, the couple wandered the gardens for some spectacular wedding photos and some time alone to reflect on the day. The outdoor wedding reception took place under a canopy of trees glistening with twinkle lights and accented with white paper lanterns. We created a warm and relaxed vibe by mixing long and round guest tables paired with a wooden country chair and soft white linen. The décor was a mix of natural elements, meandering greenery in burnished metallic containers and soft pops of white floral as accents. It is pretty amazing when one of our major focal points is also incredibly delicious. A banyan tree set the backdrop for Beth and Matt’s striking dessert display. Metallic cake stands, soft sage patterned linen and towering floral arrangements created the setting for unique bite sized sweets and their cake that was adorned with succulents. From Beth’s gown to the boutonnières, custom menu cards and décor, no detail was overlooked and the day was absolutely a reflection of the bride and groom. Congratulations Beth and Matt! |
