Rev Georgeanne Butler preformed the ceremony, which included a “sand ceremony” element.   Two large bamboo vases of areca palms and river cane with Bombay orchids flanked the couple and the aisle was decorated with sheppard hooks with glass cones of hydrangea and pink spray roses that were then reused on some of the table settings at the reception.  

The bride carried a bouquet of soft pink hydrangea with pink ranunculus and the brides with hot pink ranunculus.  White dendrobium orchids where used in the brides hair as well on the jacket of the groom.

The Sunset Terrace at the Ritz Member Beach Club over looking the beautiful Gulf of Mexico was the reception site and where the couple and their family and friends celebrated their marriage.

We worked together with  the wedding coordinator, Nicole Kaney of NK Productions, and Barbara Banks who provided us with the photographs seen here.

The bride walked down an aisle lined with tall, glass cylinders glowing with rose petals and floating candles. The couple was framed by two large arrangements of all red roses for the ceremony.  Flowers by Fudgie called in extra staff who brought brass floor candelabra to add dimension to the hastily-created indoor ceremony site. 

 The reception was held in another ballroom where Fudgie’s supplied elevated table arrangements set on tall glass cylinders using white stock and dendrobium orchid sprays. The alternating tables each had a glass cylinder with a submerged white cymbibium orchid.  These arrangements were surrounded by various-sized clear glass cubes bearing votive candles to add atmosphere.  The use of high and low arrangements throughout  the room gave it more visual interest in this large-sized room, and thrilled the couple and their guests!
