Wedding Reception Elevated Centerpieces: Ritz Carlton Sarasota

The ballroom at the Ritz Carlton Sarasota, is a beautiful room with it tall ceiling and lovely chandeliers. The room calls for elevated floral arrangements if you really want to make a statement for any event or wedding reception. For this reception of 220 guests, the couple chose tall cylinder vases with fresh lime green cymbidium orchids submerged and then a lovely arrangement of pink lilies and peonies, green fugi mums and Kermit button poms and calla lilies with trailing green amaranths. The cylinder was placed on a light tray which provided a soft up lighting into the submerged orchid vase. Also surrounding the vase were 3 small cylinders with floating candles and orchids. For that little something extra, a single green fugi mum was tied into the gold sheer chair tie at the back of each gold chiavari chair.

The sweetheart table had one continual arrangement along the table’s edge with several different sized votives and floating candles worked between. Small 2” glass cubes were nested under the green moss and between the hardy flowers. The small cubes filled with water held the fragile flowers such as the hydrangea in this is “layout” design for the couples table of honor.

This destination wedding couple planned their perfect day at the Ritz member Beach Club in Sarasota. Rebecca from Limelight Photography captured their day in the photos you will see in this blog entry.

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.

The aisle was flanked with single white roses tied with sheer Tiffany blue ribbon, as well as the canopy floral pieces, all in white roses and orchids, with the same sheer ribbons blowing softly in the breeze.

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.
