The Secret Ingredient Is Always Love - April 13, 2019

Our Jennifer Matteo Event Planning team worked with Renee & Michael to create their lovely, modern vintage Siesta Key wedding.
 
This elegant, weekday wedding at the Sunset Beach Resort was intimate, with the couple surrounded by only their closest family and friends.
 
Renee looked beautiful in her A-Line champagne organza wedding gown with a crystal embellished bodice. Her wedding bouquet was a spectacular color story of pink with special lockets knotted into the ribbon.
 
Michael, dressed in a handsome Navy-blue suit and white deck shoes, waited anxiously to see his bride for their first look. 
 
The white sand beach was set with wooden cross-back chairs leading to an elegant, round wedding structure layered in greenery and soft pink florals. The structure gave a modern touch while the pink tones incorporated a vintage feel.
 
A notable member of the wedding party was the couple’s daughter, Layla, who played a very important role as their flower girl. Layla walked down the aisle with the two ringbearers, Harlow and Sydney, the bride’s nieces.
 
The beachside wedding reception that followed had an elegant vintage feel with modern touches. Long wooden tables were draped in a soft mauve runner topped with gold beaded glass charger plates, antique china, gold banded stemware, and mercury glass votive candles.
 
Unique gold-toned metallic vases and acrylic chairs added a modern touch to the tablescapes, while floral arrangements in white, soft pink and fuchsia bridged the old and the new. 
 
Following a plated first course of Grilled Peaches + Burrata with Mache, Pistachios, and Balsamic Drizzle, guests enjoyed a station-style dinner reception. Stations included Roasted Vegetables, Shrimp, Chicken and Steak Skewers, an Oyster and Gulf Shrimp display, and a Mac N Cheese Bar with multiple fixings.
 
A modern white ribbon wedding cake with soft pink flowers was displayed with bitesize homestyle treats.
 
Renee and Michael danced under glimmering vintage crystal chandeliers surrounded by loved ones with flickering sparklers as the evening came to a close.
