bridal-bouquet-with-hot-pink-feather We just had to share the photos from Ellie P. Campbell Photography for this fun outdoor wedding that we previously posted in our blog.  The wedding was at City Island in Sarasota in front of a massive banyan tree.  The creative designers at Flowers by Fudgie fashioned a trailing arrangement in the crevices of the tree for the backdrop and the aisle was lined with pails of orange lilies and hot pink roses.

bride-and-groom The bride chose to carry a bold bouquet of Ravel roses and Brunello (orange) Asiatic lilies with a collar of hot pink feathers.  The bouquet fit her personality and the fun and festive look of the wedding.

candle-light-wedding-reception Anna Pohl from Day Planners oversaw all the details for this fun wedding and the reception in the candlelit ballroom at Michael’s on East.  Manzanita branches with hanging votive candles rose above the centerpieces in glass cubes of hot pink roses and orange Asiatic lilies. The warm glow of the room was captured beautifully in Ellie’s Photos. Take a look!

Hot pink Ravel roses and orange lilies coupled with greenery in a classic cascade were carefully arranged as to hang on the Banyan tree without damaging it in any way. The bright orange and pink colors pop against the backdrop of the Banyan.  Island park in Sarasota is a lovely location and added such beauty to this couple’s special day.

The tree theme carried through to their stunning wedding reception at the always elegant Michael’s On East.  The ballroom came alive with wedding reception tables draped in rich brown linens featuring one of a kind centerpieces. Silver manzanita centerpieces with votives Glass containers overflowing with hot pink roses and orange lilies held gorgeous silver manzanita branches dripping with glowing hanging votives.  The top of the silver manzanita branches were punctuated by hot pink Bougainvillea blossoms.  This dazzling centerpiece represented this beautiful couple’s creative spirit well.  It is always a joy and a delight to help make a couple’s dream wedding a reality!

Dramatic floral arrangements composed of Wow (coral), Circus (yellow/red edge) and Leonides (terra cotta) roses with hanging green amaranthus completed this elegant space.  the-sosurce-girls jen-with-bridal-bouquet This was a special wedding for all of us at Fudgie’s. The bride, Jen Blanco, is a close friend and the officiant principal of Notary to Go, a long-time Sarasota wedding service provider. Jen was now on the “other side of the table” as she and Steve Moore were tied in marriage!  Bobbi Hicks (Weddings by Bobbi), Evelyn England (Sage art and video , Jen Blanco-Moore (Notary to Go) and Becki Creighton (Flowers by Fudgie) have worked together as a team for years as Your Wedding Source, the one-stop-shop for Sarasota brides who expect the best for their weddings. It was loads of fun planning and executing a wedding for one of our ”sisters”! But this time the team included Susan Quarmby, of Weddings by Susan, as the officiant. Together, we made our dear friend’s wedding day as special as any we have ever done.

roses-for-jen-and-steve Phil Mancini, owner of Michael’s on East joined the team as Maitre d’ along with Brett Osborn of Made in the Shade, who provided the rental of the green plants. Three  other great vendors for the evening were Tammy Gamso of Finishing Touches, who did the bride’s makeup, Carl from Ole Heidelberg Bakery who provided a scrumptious cake and Wayne Delair of Delair Entertainment, who provided fabulous music for the evening. jen-steve-during-cermony

The reception was in the same ballroom where Fudgie’s designers created elevated arrangements of Leonides, Circus and Wow roses, trailing ivy with several votive candles at the base of each one for a rich, romantic setting. This fun, loving couple continued partying on with all their family and friends all weekend. Pre-wedding fun started Friday night at Marina Jacks and ended Sunday at the Hyatt Sarasota with a grand brunch. See the photos below to get in on this great wedding weekend!
