October is a popular month for weddings along the Suncoast. The weather is perfect and the sunsets are spectacular! So it was easy to understand why this couple from Bethesda, Maryland chose the beach and the Hilton on Longboat Key for their wedding.
A bamboo arch draped with ivory fabric was selected and decorated with orange Gerbera daisies and orange roses at each corner. Ivy bowls of orange Gerberas, orange roses and deep orange spray roses hung from Shepard hooks that lined the aisle.
The bride carried a hand tied bouquet of white gerbera daisies and ivory roses tucked into soft blue hydrangea. Her attendants carried orange gerbera daisies with deep orange spray roses and green hypericum berries.
The ivy bowls from the aisle served double duty as they were moved to the reception and placed on mirrors in the center of the guest tables and surrounded by votive candles. Each chair had the added touch of an orange or white gerbera daisy tucked into the tie.

Let Flowers by Fudgie help you make your holiday party an occasion to remember! The holidays are a special time to celebrate with family and friends and we would love to help you make it a most memorable time!
For example, we recently did a beautiful holiday dinner dance party at the Longboat Key Club. We used our 6’ tall black iron trees with extra branches added and decorated with gorgeous sprays of orchids and trailing dazzling hanging votive candles. At the base, we used 12 cylinders in varying heights with floating candles nested into a gold lame’ fabric…simply stunning!
You know you live in an amazing city when people from all over the country choose it as a destination location for their wedding day! And as Sarasota wedding venues go, none is more amazing than the always-dazzling 
The bridesmaids, in eye-catching pink dresses, carried gorgeous hand-tied bouquets of Pink O’Hara garden roses and fragrant Attaché roses, carefully nested into perfect white hydrangea… stunning!
After the ceremony, the party moved inside to the ballroom where the reception took place. We alternated between elevated and low arrangements on the tables all in white and cream tones to include hydrangea, orchids, lilies and roses for a dream-like look. The elevated pieces included chandeliered votives hanging from curly willow branches. The head table was a feast for the eyes! Two of the dreamy elevated arrangements topped the table with several votives candles flowing down the middle of the table to provide further illumination.
The couple was pleased with all the selections they made–from the small orchid boutonnieres to the flower trimmed cake to the grand candlelight ballroom–they absolutely loved every aspect of the day and will forever cherish it! And we couldn’t be happier to have another satisfied customer on one of the most special days of their lives.
