I loved this couple and this wedding!  This was my first visit to the Sarasota Garden Club and the space was so lovely!  Perfect for this laid back affair. 

 

The bride and groom chose a purple and white color palette with beautiful orchid arrangements.  The bride created her own centerpieces by submerging silk orchid stems in cylinder vases filled with clear pebbles, LED lights, and water.

Her bouquet featured white roses with bright violet orchids blossoms.  It was the perfect complement to her gorgeous white ballgown.

Although it rained the day before as well as the morning of the wedding, the clouds parted and the sun came out just in time for us to move her chairs back outside for an outdoor garden ceremony.

During the reception, guests enjoyed a plethora of unique bottled and canned beers as well as four different kegs of home brewed beer (courtesy of the bride and groom.)  Delicious!  We served the draft beer in brandy-style glassware.

The wedding cake featured purple sugar orchids – too beautiful to eat.

Before departing, guests were sent off with customized bottles of home-brewed beer as favors from the bride and groom.  Love the labels!  Then as a surprise, they gathered outside for a impromptu fireworks display!  The perfect ending to a rain-free wedding day!

The bride and groom were planning to attend a beer festival for their honeymoon (of course)!  Congratulations again you guys!
