To Have And To Hold - November 10, 2018

​Sarasota’s Powel Crosley Estate could not have been a more perfect location for Marisa and Casey’s wedding, and our Jennifer Matteo Event Planning team loved helping them tell their story.
 
This beautiful classic wedding design in blue and gold truly complimented the wedding venue’s incredible architecture and detailing.
 
Marissa looked stunning in her magnificent lace gown with a sweeping train and plunging sweetheart neckline. The look was complimented by shimmering Stuart Weitzman pumps and a white hand-tied bouquet of roses, garden roses, ranunculus, anemone with fresh rosemary and eucalyptus adding a touch of greenery.
 
Her bridal party wore tailored pale blue bridesmaids dresses and carried lush bouquets of greenery and a few pops of white floral.
 
Not to be left out, Casey and his groomsmen looked sharp, dressed in classic black tuxes with satin notch collars and bow ties.
 
After their first look, Marisa and Casey exchanged their wedding vows on the steps of the estate under a crystal chandelier, officiated by the bride’s uncle. The majestic columns flanking the couple were adorned with large swags of white florals.
 
The incredible outdoor wedding reception that followed was set against the backdrop of the two-and-a-half-story Mediterranean mansion. 
 
Guest tables were draped in white linen and accented with large clusters of greenery and flickering white pillar candles in glass cylinders. Gold charger plates, soft blue napkins with custom menu cards, individual laser cut name plaques and fresh rosemary added the perfect, very personal touch to the reception. Vintage pressed blue glassware and gold acrylic tables numbers added another nod to the color story.
 
The couple’s sweetheart table was an incredible focal point. They were seated on an elegant powder blue settee behind a beautiful wooden two drawer table. The drawers opened toward guests and overflowed with eucalyptus and white roses with gold glass votives completing the look.
 
After their first dance the band faded into a hora and a brief dance set before guests were seated for a delicious dinner and night of dancing under the shimmering market lights and Sarasota sky.
