Pretty Yellow + Gold Estate Wedding

The gorgeous Ringling Museum in sunny Sarasota, Florida was the backdrop for James and Caitlin’s elegant courtyard wedding.  After a ceremony on the front lawn of the museum’s Ca’ d’Zan Mansion, guests made their way by trolley to the beautiful courtyard for dinner and dancing.  We just love the chandeliers hanging from the trees and the chic mix of round and banquet tables with fresh and summery centerpieces created by Tiger Lily!  And, may we take a moment and admire Caitlin’s drool-worthy bouquet?  The ribbon-tied gem made of peonies, roses, and lush greenery is positively luscious and perfectly complements her classic veil and flowy Lazaro gown.  We are completely in love with all of these beautiful images from Binary Flips Photography!

Elegant, romantic, and colorful perfectly describes Tara and Georg’s wedding at Sarasota’s sophisticated Field Club. The couple lived in Italy for a time, and added some subtle Tuscan vibes to their Florida soiree. Working with Nicole of NK Productions (which Tara describes as “the best decision we ever made”), Tara and Georg created a romantic setting with stunning florals by Victoria Blooms that featured large coral peonies, olive leaf, and blush garden roses. Our favorite detail? The entrance fountain overflowing with lush florals! Petite bottles of olive oil served as place cards and favors, atop french blue linens and set next to table numbers hand-drawn by Tara’s maid of honor, labeled as their favorite Italian cities. Every small detail is flawless and beautifully captured by Tiffani Jones!

We just love the fun Old Florida-meets-glitz vibe of Emily and Kyle’s wedding. The gorgeous Bay Preserve at Osprey in Sarasota hosted the fabulous affair, where bright flowers by Elegant Designs Floral Art Studio were a bold contrast to black and white stripes and gold accents. Bridesmaids in black dresses from J.Crew continued the color scheme, while Emily’s Lazaro gown and veil were fairy tale perfect! We’re smitten with the elegant stationery with black and white details from Write-On Sarasota, which coordinated with the palette of the day, too. NK Productions ensured all the details came together for the look Emily and Kyle envisioned, right down to the light bulb place cards that reflected Kyle’s pro lighting business. Even the golden sunset and the gold-dusted cake from The Short Giraffe complemented the decor. All of these images from Justin Demutiis Photography are simply fabulous!

Elia and Enrique’s Sarasota wedding at Marie Selby Gardens was nothing short of a classic and elegant affair. With the beautiful serene waterfront setting and the gorgeous setting underneath the banyan trees, the setting was the perfect choice for the couple’s vision of organic elegance. Oh Darling accented the natural beauty of the locale with greenery, a sea of candles, and pops of white blooms. Bridesmaids donned glimmering Adrianna Papell frocks, while Elia selected a stunning Carolina Herrera gown. This classic couple and their romantic Florida wedding was beautifully captured by Ailyn La Torre Photography!

Danielle and Patrick have friends and family all over the country, so they decided to marry in one of their favorite places, Sarasota, Florida, and make it a full weekend celebration for their guests! Sarasota and its beaches have a long history in Danielle’s family and she grew up visiting the Ringling Museum, so it was a dream setting for their celebration! NK Productions took the couple’s vision of a clean, romantic aesthetic with a pastel color palette of blues, pinks, and whites and brought it to life with chic modern touches. Botanica designed a stunning chuppah for their blended ceremony (Danielle is Jewish, Patrick Presbyterian), and worked with the NK Productions team to style a sophisticated reception with modern touches such as acrylics and a sea of candles for the reception. They say rain on your wedding day is good luck, and the best laid plans of a courtyard reception were quickly switched for plan B, a ceremony and reception setup on the dramatic loges overlooking the museum. This made for an intimate event that Danielle says “ultimately made for an even more memorable experience!” This elegant and timeless event is one for the books, beautifully captured by Hunter Ryan Photo!

Carrie and Joe, who were high school sweethearts, were married at Sarasota’s gorgeous Field Club Estate on a stunning Florida winter day. Selecting a classic color palette of blush and ivory, the couple worked with NK Productions Wedding Planning to bring their vision of a chic and stylish wedding that highlighted the natural beauty of the venue to life. Victoria Blooms accentuated the Field Club’s ballroom with a lovely mix of low and high arrangements, each centerpiece capped off with a gilded framed table number. Carrie glowing in a Lela Rose ballgown, while Joe donned a crisp white jacket from Alton Lane. Every image from Hunter Ryan Photo is absolutely perfect!

Megan and Taylor’s Sarasota wedding at the Powel Crosley Estate perfectly reflected the couple’s vision. “The most important aspect to our wedding was that it captured us as a couple and that it truly felt intimate and romantic,” said Megan. She and Taylor wrote their own vows, and it is those moments that she holds most dear, along with their handfasting ceremony with heirloom plaid from Megan’s mother’s family and watching their beloved pup Molly walk down the aisle! After the joyous and heartfelt ceremony (in perfect weather despite the threat of tornadoes!), the reception was a party to remember, with personal details such as a photo backdrop hand-written by Megan’s bridesmaid Sydney with the lyrics of their first dance song, “How Long will I Love You” by Ellie Goulding. We are spellbound by the gorgeous images from L Martin Photography!

There may be no more spectacular venue than Sarasota’s colorful Ca’ d’Zan. With its stained glass windows, intricate pillars and details, and stunning facade, the Ringling Mansion (so known as it is the home of the circus founder and his wife) is a glorious backdrop for a wedding! Kara and Cory’s soiree made full use of the setting, their modern pink and silver palette a beautiful contrast to the colors of the venue. Nicole from NK Productions worked with the couple to bring their day to life, and flowers from Elegant Designs Floral Art Studio dressed the modern tables. We absolutely adore each and every image from Hunter Ryan Photography!

Oh, Emily and John’s wedding is so stunning! The Ritz-Carlton, Amelia Island is a top-notch destination for a wedding celebration because it simply never disappoints; talented staff took care of details ranging from catering to rentals to preparing the couple’s Tiffany blue wedding cake. The coastal palette of corals, pinks, and aqua in flowers by Josie Harlan of Anything With Plants & Flowers and water blue bridesmaids dresses from The Dessy Group is lovely outdoors in front of the ocean. Emily’s Watters gown is classic and pretty, much like the surrounding decor. Brooke Images captured every last detail of this affair, from the succulent-and-rose ceremony chair decor to the adorable golf cart exit at the end of the night—see all of the fun in the gallery!

The mix of elegant and rustic details in Chanda and David’s Dover, Florida, wedding is stunning perfection! The outdoor ceremony, held under trees draped with Spanish moss at Cross Creek Ranch, was filled with the classic touches we love about a garden wedding: ranunculus and spray roses in bouquets by Alta Fleura, mason jars filled with white blooms, and white lanterns hanging from branches. Chanda paired her mother’s antique lace cathedral-length veil with her Demetrios gown. Bridesmaids wore elegant designs from Bill Levkoff. The reception, held outdoors and in a barn on the ranch grounds, featured lots of sheer linens, twinkle lights, and personal touches. We especially love the lace linens and the stacked ruffled look of the icing on the cake from Alessi Bakeries. Delicious! Thanks to the lovely Lexia Frank Photography for sharing this gem with us—see all of the beautiful images right here!

Jen and Carter’s Northern California wedding, held at the Marin Art & Garden Center, is simple elegance and romance at its best. Cream and pink flowers by Cherries are classic and beautiful in the outdoor setting, and we love the details on Jen’s Lazaro gown—check out the satin sash and scallop beading on her veil! Traditional sugared fruit on the cake from Branching Out Cakes is a unique addition to the pretty reception tablescapes. See all of the images from the fabulous Bret Cole Photography in the gallery!

Marie and Tim’s wedding at The Ritz-Carlton on Amelia Island, Florida, combines the beauty of the beach with the understated elegance only a venue like the The Ritz-Carlton can provide! Dressed in a sweetheart gown with crystal brooch detail, Marie married Tim with views of the ocean as their ceremony backdrop — that, and a gorgeous floral arbor popping with pink and white blooms! We adore the cowl-neck mauve dresses that bridesmaids donned, as well as the round rose and ranunculus bouquets they carried. Photographer Brooke Images has dazzled us with the gorgeous images she captured of the reception, including a classic white cake trimmed in pink lace! See all of the beach-chic details in the gallery!

Looking at these pictures of Emma and Nathaniel’s Sarasota ceremony at The Church of the Redeemer makes us feel like we’re peering through a gauze-covered lens at an Old Florida movie set—sweetly romantic details abound at every turn! From blush-colored Christian Louboutin shoes to pale pink bouquets dotted with hydrangeas, roses, and ranunculus by Beneva Flowers, the day was pure perfection. A reception at The Field Club continued the swept-away vibe with robin’s egg blue-and-white centerpiece arrangements that matched an intricate five-tier cake in the same palette from A Slice of Heaven. “During the last hour of the reception Nate and I snuck off to soak in the whole day together,” says Emma. “It did go by so fast.” Just be sure to scroll slowly through these beautiful photos from Jessica Lorren Organic Photography!

Jessica and Todd did not leave out a single detail for their Florida wedding. Simple yet truly elegant (hello Mr. Louboutin and Ms. Vera!), both their ceremony and reception were at The Field Club in Sarasota. Bridesmaids wore long navy chiffon gowns and carried pretty white bouquets while the guys dressed in grey suits with hints of navy. The reception was clean and classy with navy linens and pretty white florals by Perfect Settings. The weather was a bit threatening, but luckily, the only two downpours occurred just before and after the ceremony, sparing everyone from getting drenched and allowing Liga Photography to get some fantastic photos in the rich post-rain sunset. We hope you love this beautiful and classic wedding as much as we do!

Every detail of Katherine and Lorenzo’s wedding at the Powell Crosley Estate in Florida is simply divine. Katherine was inspired by the Old World feeling of the estate so she incorporated international elements into the day such as luggage tag escort cards and tables named for different places around the world. It was an elegant and romantic wedding dressed in whites and greens with accents of silver, gold, and bronze. The stunning floral by The Naked Florist accented the venue perfectly.  Sit back and enjoy the utterly gorgeous images from Justin DeMutiis Photography!

Lindsay and Andrew chose the stunning Walker’s Landing in Amelia Island, Florida for their wedding, and the venue set the tone for their wedding style. Set on the water and with a bit of a rustic vibe, the venue was a perfect mix of whimsy and elegance. Lindsay’s bridesmaids donned beautiful mismatched champagne dresses, while the men kept it classic in tuxes, with Andrew sporting a white dinner jacket. Tiffany of Liz Stewart Floral Design crafted incredible florals to accent the flowing dresses and woodsy reception space. Edison bulbs and draped greenery were a “must have”, says the couple, along with dramatic swaths of drapery from the ceiling, and the organic, loose bouquets and centerpieces added to the romantic feel of the day. This truly unique and stunning wedding, captured by Brooke Images, is one we know you’ll fall in love with!

With soft neutral hues and a spectacular beachside setting, Margaret Kyle and Kyle’s Charleston destination wedding is pure coastal elegance. The couple knew they wanted a destination wedding, and Margaret Kyle’s aunt and uncle were married at the Seabrook Island Club, and those fond memories translated into the perfect place to get married! Their vision of an understated but elegant look was brought to life by Lindsay Merhege of Fox Events. Tiger Lily Flowers designed florals that celebrated the neutral palette, with statement accents of greenery and a mixture of snowy white blooms. From the incredible palm tree backdrop to the beautiful cake by Delicious Desserts, every moment is beautifully captured by Jennings King Photography!

The Ringling Museum is Sarasota’s most spectacular setting, so when Kim and Christian conveyed their vision to NK Productions Wedding Planning, they chose to accentuate the courtyard with lush greenery, white blooms, and pops of burgundy blooms. Victoria Blooms mixed anemones, garden roses, and delphinium to create a romantic, organic feel underneath trees festooned with chandeliers. The scrumptious cake from The Cake Zone was half key lime and half mango—true Florida flavors!—and featured a blue ombre design to add a pop of whimsy and color to the warm and neutral reception. We wish we were basking in the Florida sun and are spellbound by the gorgeous images by Justin DeMutiis Photography!

The inspiration for Calvin and Adelaide’s Sarasota wedding was classic and chic, with loads of greenery and white florals. Places that were important to Adelaide, such as their wedding locale of Sarasota, the rolling hills of Tuscany, and her beloved Blue Ridge Mountains inspired the decor, which featured inventive and lush arrangements of eucalyptus, fern, Queen Anne’s lace, and pops of blue thistle created by Beneva Flowers. The Field Club is near and dear to the couple’s hearts, as it is where Calvin proposed to Adelaide, so it was the perfect selection for their light-filled, cozy reception, where each place setting was personally tailored to their guests with lovely wreath place cards. Adelaide is a picture-perfect classic bride in a Pronovias gown and tiered veil, and shares “My wedding dress was a no-brainer. The first time I tried it on, it felt as though someone had made the dress specifically for me. I fell in love with it, and we bought it that day. The train, the simplicity and elegance of the design, and the way the neckline framed my decolletage and face made me feel and look stunning. I cannot say enough things about how much I LOVE my wedding dress!” We can just feel the Florida sunshine and beauty oozing from the lovely images by Lana Ponomarenko Photography!

Meghan says “I was never the girl that had dreams of my wedding and had everything planned out! But I did come to the realization, very quickly, that I wanted it to be simple, elegant and FULL of candlelight.” With this simple but classic ambiance in mind, Meghan and Josh enlisted NK Productions Wedding Planning to bring their vision to life. The couple fell in love with the ornate details of The Vinoy Renaissance St. Petersburg Resort & Golf Club. The resort reflects the grandeur of a golden age, and NK Productions and Victoria Blooms accentuated the venue’s charm with florals of ivory and white set in glittering gold vessels, loads of candlelight, and a spectacular ivy ceremony backdrop that was the perfect setting for the couple’s outdoor ceremony. Binaryflips Photography captured the simple, modern elegance to perfection and we know you’ll be as smitten as we are!
