Shades of Pink for a Garden Wedding at the Ritz

Becki Creighton — Tue, 01 Dec 2009 03:08:12 +0000

It was a beautiful day for a wedding and reception in the Healing Garden at Sarasota’s Ritz Carlton. Humidity and temperature could not have been better for this affair in pink.

At the base of the stairs the bride walked through a rose covered arch. The aisle was flanked with Sweet Unique pink rose petals and at the back of the aisle the guests were met with two large arrangements of hydrangea and pink rose with trailing green amaranths.

The bride carried a bouquet of soft pink hydrangea topped with light pink ranunculus and on the handle a small photo of the bride’s grandmother who was there in spirit right in the palm of her hand. Audrey Snow Photography got a perfect photo of the bouquet along with many other excellent photos that the couple will cherish.

Dinner tables had a composite look using 3 glass cubes topped with hot pink, blue and soft pink hydrangea with a little seeded eucalyptus to trial over the sides and then floating candles that were also in glass cubes. Another beautiful party under a starry night on Sarasota Bay.

Garden Wedding Ritz Carlton Sarasota

The Ritz Carlton – Sarasota is a beautiful setting for a wedding and their outdoor setting was perfect on this sunny Saturday. The bride had envisioned an aisle lined with flowers, so Fudgie’s designed flower arrangements to frame the couple as well as to line the aisle. The arrangements were made with mixed pastel shades of pink and yellow with trailing green amaranthus and ribbons set on top of 36 inch-tall bronze stanchions.

The buffet reception in the ballroom had guest tables in varying sizes. The larger tables had a set of three arrangements for a composite look while the smaller tables had single glass cubes. They all had smaller flower arrangements to pull the mixed pastel colors inside. Tall 26-inch glass cubes supported the large buffet centerpieces that added color to the scrumptious feast presented on serpentine tables.

Sarasota Ritz Carlton has several wedding sites, one of which is the Healing Garden. After arriving by yacht this bride had a 100′ carpeted walk through a flower lined aisle. Rich tones of red, bronze, orange and gold were used.

Again, we worked with wonderful wedding professionals such as Nicole Kaney from NK Productions and Barbara Banks Photography whose pictures you will see displayed.

The wedding was for 140 guests in the Healing Garden with cocktails on the lawn and the reception moved into the Ballroom with back lit walls and up lighting under each of the floral arrangements. Each arrangement included a submerged orchid in the stem of the 26″ vase and topped with tropical flowers, roses and cascading amaranths and around the base there were 3 smaller cylinders with gold Vanda orchids floating under the ivory lit candles. The color scheme looked beautiful in the room.
