freesia The bride carried a bouquet of all freesia and her bridesmaids carried bouquets of all white tulips.  The back of the logia was the setting for the ceremony and the reception was catered by Michaels on East.  The tables were elegantly set with either low bowls of tulips with lily grass or tall pilsner vases of all white stock. Brett from Made in the Shade provided the plant rental which always brings warmth and hominess to the Museum.

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.

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!

For those that did not  attend the fabulous fund raiser, the Ungala, for the Ringling Museum of Art; Fudgie’s wanted you  to see what a great look they had for this years party, partly due to the fun elevated arrangements that graced each table.  Linens were in hot pink, orange, yellow and lime green and each table was topped with a 26” cylinder filled with crystals and LED lights and then topped with a topiary arrangement of fugi mums in the same bold colors.  The photos posted on this blog, which were taken late in the day but before sunset, do not due them justice as the tall cylinders had a soft glow provided by the LED lights as the event moved into the evening.  Each of the 4 top tables had a small glass cube with a mound of the bold colored  fugi’s to mimic the tall elevated pieces.  Michael’s on East provided a fabulous spread at various buffet stations.  Phil Mancini was there to personally oversee the set up of the event.  Mattison’s catering handled the bars and were prepared to keep the crowd happy.  Also Fuzion Dance/Higher Ground Performing Arts, Jay Goodley Entertainment, Plant Parents and The Plant Place also provided generous in-kind sponsorship!

 The Ringling is fortunate to have many wonderful sponsors and supporters making this a huge successful fundraiser for the Museum here in Sarasota.
