Vintage Wedding at the Powell Crosley

Becki Creighton — Sun, 04 Jul 2010 01:55:25 +0000

The Powell Crosley Museum was the perfect setting for this vintage themed wedding. To help carry out the theme, the bride collected milk glass vases of all sizes and shapes for the dinner table centerpieces. Each of the vases was filled with blush pink Anna roses and white hydrangea and mini champagne spray roses.

The photographer was Gina Leigh and the planner for the day was Anna Pohl of Day Planners. Thanks to Gina for providing the photos for this blog post.

The ceremony was on the logia steps under the natural arch and the back of the aisle was flanked with 2 beautiful arrangements of Anna roses. The bride carried a hand tied bouquet of Anna roses with the pave crystals nested between them. The soft tones of the roses with the candlelight made of a very romantic look.

The Crosley Museum is one of the most beautiful spots in the Sarasota, Bradenton area. Bobbi Hicks of Weddings by Bobbi helped to plan a dream wedding for this bridal couple. They choose to keep it an elegant, yet simple look of spring flowers all in white and cream tones.

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.

The Powel Crosley Museum is one of the most beautiful places in Sarasota for a wedding. It a lovely historic mansion and there are so many places right on the property to be married. Couple can choose the logia as this bride did, or the gazebo or a water view on the lawn.

This featured couple used Limelight Photography for their all white wedding. The bride chose a clean look using all white roses for her bridal bouquet that was hand tied with an initial on the handle and the bridesmaids carried a garden mix of all white and cream tone flowers. The front arch on the logia was draped with fabric by Affairs in the Air and green plants from Made in the Shade added a little softness to either side of the fountain as the background for the ceremony.

Tall vases of curly willow branches with white dendrobium orchids sprays graced the tables. This was a natural look that gave some elevation on the guest tables. Also on the place card table a vase of manzanita branches with sprays of crystals tied in nicely with the guest table arrangements.

Recently on Turtle Beach on Siesta Key, we were thrilled to participate in making the dreams of this young Indian professional couple come true. They had a gorgeous destination wedding with 279 guests who came from all over.

The reception was at the Crosley Mansion, where we worked with many other professionals as a team. Tina from Sun Weddings served as the coordinator, Paul Mattison from Mattison’s Catering, Claudette from Rental Depot, and others that we are accustomed to partnering with came together beautifully.

Planning a wedding long-distance — the bride is from Connecticut — presents some unique challenges, but we were happy to work with the bride via e-mail utilizing our digital portfolio so that she could select the elements for the wedding of her dreams.

The bride was gracious enough to send us this thank-you note and to tell us about this video of her special day.
