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.

Our thanks as always to Kimberly Dyer Photography for providing the beautiful photos in our gallery. It’s always a pleasure to work with fellow vendors who share our commitment to excellence.

Flowers by Fudgie provided the bamboo canopy for the ceremony and lined the aisle with coral colored rose petals. The bride wore a traditional strapless gown with a full skirt. She carried a fragrant bouquet of coral David Austin garden roses. Her attendants wore coral silk chiffon dresses from J Crew in different styles. Their bouquets were all ivory Vendella roses.

The bride carried a classic bouquet of creamy Vendella roses and soft taupe Sahara roses. Her attendants, dressed in short, light champagne colored dresses, carried bouquets of hot pink Ravel roses and orange Gerbera daisies – just the right “pop” of color against the dresses. Mothers wore corsages of white dendrobium orchids while boutonnieres were either ivory spray roses or a combination of hot pink and orange spray roses.

After the ceremony, friends and family strolled around to the terrace overlooking Sarasota Bay and enjoyed a breathtaking sunset while sipping cocktails. Guest tables on the terrace looked amazing with stately bronze candelabrum decorated with votives candles in globes and hot pink and orange roses with greenery down the stem. Candlelight was carried onto the table with 3 cylinders with hot pink rose petals and floating candles. The massive feasting table for the wedding party of 28 people was truly a show stopper. Cube arrangements of hot pink and orange roses and Gerbera daisies, various size cylinders with floating candles and larger cubes with hot pink hydrangea mounds ran the length of the 24 foot table. Flowers by Fudgie placed empty vases for the attendants bouquets to become part of the gorgeous tablescape.

The bride chose to carry a clean, tight bouquet of all white Oriental lilies. Attendants carried hand tied bouquets of hydrangea, white fuji mums, green dendrobium orchids and white and purple bicolor lisianthus. The beach ceremony was followed by a tropical casual reception at the Sun Garden Cafe in Siesta Key Village. Table centerpieces were a mix of styles. Some carried the beach theme with large cubes filled with sand, shells and starfish with green Fujis mums and purple dendrobium orchids with grasses while others were mounds of beautiful purple hydrangea. All the tables were completed with floating candles in cylinder vases with teal gems in the bottom to add more tropical color to the tables.

Sun Garden Cafe provided wonderful fare and everyone’s sweet tooth was satisfied with delicious cupcakes by Lyndsay at Pastry by Design. What fun it is to help a couple plan a tropical Florida wedding!

Guests were greeted by two large bamboo vases of graceful palm fronds at the back of the aisle. The couple walked up to a bamboo arch covered with sheer organza fabric that was flanked with two floral sprays of Bombay blue orchids and white roses.

The bride chose a traditional all-white rose bouquet with natural stems banded with off-white ribbon. The bases of the bouquet’s stems were exposed to give the piece a lovely, natural look. The bridesmaids, in their soft blue dresses, carried blue hydrangeas with white roses and lime green dendrobium orchids.

As the party moved into the tented reception area, the tabletop centerpieces gave a nice additional pop of color by adding hot pink spray roses to blue hydrangea mounds with lime green button chrysanthemums.  This casual look was a perfect selection for the tables in the big tent.

The team at Flowers by Fudgie had fun creating this couple’s great, fun destination wedding.  Kimberly Dyer of Kimberly Dyer Photography captured the whole event so they would remember it always.

Have you ever dreamed of a beach wedding? Many couples do! Well this couple not only dreamed it, but lived it!  And Flowers by Fudgie was there to help make this beautiful couple’s beach destination wedding a reality!  The wedding took place at the gorgeous Lido Beach Resort in sunny Sarasota, FL.

Anna Pohl of Day Planners, and Kimberly Dyer of Kimberly Dyer Photography were also part of the dream team as they helped bring this vision to pass! Brides adore Anna as she aptly pulls all the details together to allow the bride to really enjoy her day. And Kimberly’s stunning photography speaks for itself! And the wedding flowers by Flowers by Fudgie were like no other, if we say so ourselves!

Our beautiful bride loved pink lilies with their pleasing fragrance so we chose the deeper pink Starfighter variety to make up her stunning bridal bouquet. We also added orchids and stephanotis to the bouquet with the added touch of a crystal in the center of each flower!  The bouquet was breathtaking!

For the ceremony, we used a bamboo canopy and the aisle was lined with shepherd hooks filled with lilies and scattered hot pink roses to make it come alive with color and flair! The bride was an absolute vision as she carried her bouquet and walked to her husband- to- be on the beach!

And the reception was amazing as well!  It was held under a tent on the resort’s beach property. Fun and unique lighting brought the party to life and highlighted the dazzling table centerpieces of tall silver Manzanita branches and trailing purple orchids and hanging shining votives.  The base of the centerpiece was accented with pink lilies and orchids to give a pop and splash of color to each table.

And the three food tables were resplendent with tall cylinders with submerged cymbidium orchids on top of a light tray to add a nice soft glow to each table.

Our bride was absolutely thrilled with everything and saw her dream beach wedding come to life before her very eyes! And Flowers by Fudgie was equally thrilled to be part of this spectacular day!

The backdrop for the ceremony was our bamboo and fabric canopy decorated with 2 floral clusters of roses and orchids.  The lavender rose, Cool Water, is contrasted by the deeper purple dendrobium Bombay orchids.

The sweetheart table was edged with rose petals and decorated with the bride’s bouquet following the ceremony.  We always suggest getting as much double usage from the flowers when every possible.
