A Sarasota Wedding That Perfectly Blended Elegance, Heart, and Unforgettable Details

There’s something truly special about watching months of planning unfold into one seamless, joy-filled celebration. Emily & Matthew's wedding at Selby Marie Gardens in Sarasota was one of those that reminds me why I love what I do. From the first look to the final send off, every detail was intentional, personal, and beautifully executed by a dream team of talented vendors.

A Celebration Designed with Heart

From our very first meeting, this couple had a clear vision: a celebration that felt elegant but inviting, elevated but fun. We wanted guests to walk into the space and immediately feel the warmth of their story woven into every element.

Working closely with Victoria Blooms, we designed a floral palette that balanced modern romance with timeless sophistication. The arrangements featured lush textures and soft, layered blooms, creating that perfect balance between refined design and effortless beauty.

A Culinary Experience to Remember

The team at Michael’s On East, led by Amy Allen and Bailey Pickett, curated a dining experience that guests are still talking about. From the first cocktail to the last bite of dessert, every flavor was thoughtfully chosen to complement the evening’s flow.

And can we talk about Sweets Bakehouse? Tara’s dessert display was pure artistry—each creation as beautiful as it was delicious.

To keep the energy going, Storii Coffee served up freshly brewed coffee from their chic mobile cart—a guest favorite that added such a unique, interactive touch to the evening.

Effortless Beauty and Perfect Timing

The morning began with laughter, a beautiful toast, and a glam session led by Vanessa Silvana of Loch Nessa Makeup Creations. Her calm energy and flawless artistry set the tone for a relaxed, joy-filled start to the day.

Throughout the celebration, Noah Grey Music provided the perfect soundtrack, from soft ceremony melodies to a packed dance floor. Music is such a powerful part of any event, and Josh’s ability to read the room and match the energy was nothing short of magic.

Design Details and Seamless Execution

Our incredible rental partners, Palacios Events, Treasury Rentals, and Upstaged Décor helped us create a space that was both refined and inviting.

Every piece, from the tabletop accents to the lighting, worked in harmony to bring the design vision to life.

We were also fortunate to have a top-tier creative team documenting every moment. Lifelong Photography Studio, led by Buffy, captured each emotion and detail so beautifully, while Storybook Films preserved the day through cinematic storytelling that will be cherished for years to come.

The Perfect Ending

Emily & Matthew departed in style thanks to Classic Wedding Cars of Sarasota and SRQ Trolley, whose elegant and reliable transportation added one last touch of thoughtfulness to the day.

As planners, our goal is always to create an experience that feels effortless for our couples and unforgettable for their guests. Watching this day unfold—from the quiet anticipation before the ceremony to the joyful laughter echoing through the night—was a reminder that love truly is in the details.

To the couple, thank you for trusting us with your vision. And to our incredible vendor team—you made magic happen.
