Designed To Make You Smile

With everything that is currently going on in the world, our Tailored Twig team wanted to do a quick check-in. We wanted to let you know that our team is still here working behind the scenes with our couples planning Florida weddings. 
 
We also thought that sharing some beautiful images from Carolyn and William’s Ritz-Carlton Sarasota on New Year’s Eve might bring a smile to your faces.

​Their beautiful Sarasota wedding began with a magical church wedding ceremony. This black and white photograph, as they left the church, is one of our favorites.

​​Carolyn’s hand-tailored bridal bouquet was a unique combination of textures and florals, all within a white color story with touches of greenery. Her bouquet included giant white calla lilies, Duchess peonies, white ranunculus, and Marianne anemone paired with seeded eucalyptus, plumosa fern, green thistle, and magnolia leaves.

​​The groom’s boutonniere incorporated several elements from the bride’s bouquet. Our team chose a creamy white ranunculus and the texture of green thistle to pop against his classic white tuxedo.

​This little guy wore a Marianne anemone, with its black center and fluttering white petals, pinned to his suspenders.

​And, how freaking adorable are these two being pulled down the aisle in a wagon wrapped in Italian ruscus?

​Following their touching wedding ceremony, the couple and their wedding guests gathered at the Ritz-Carlton Sarasota for dinner and the disco party to end all.
 
Long rectangular guest tables were placed under a canopy of twinkling lights.   Each table was draped in soft light pink linen and layered with gold-rimmed glass charger plates, pink satin napkins, and custom-designed menu cards.
 
The center of each table was filled with a flowing collection of eclectic vessels, candles, and blooms. 
 
Our Tailored Twig design team incorporated vessels that blended modern gold tones, mercury glass, and miniature handblown works of art.
 
The vessels overflowed with lush, textured greenery incorporating Bells of Ireland, Southern smilax, magnolia leaves, and ferns punctuating them white wax flowers, Eskimo roses, white calla lilies, and striking black burgundy scabiosa.
 
The long flowing tablescape was dotted with brass candlesticks with white taper candles as well as collections of gold and mercury glass votive candle holders. This was a luxurious look that functioned well on the long rectangular tables.

​Once dinner had concluded, guests made their way to a space that was transformed into a shimmering disco. The night was filled with dancing and made ringing in the new year extra special.
 
This is sure to be a New Year’s Eve wedding that Carolyn and William’s family and friends will be talking about for years to come.

​Congratulations Carolyn and William, we wish you both a lifetime of happiness.

​Our Tailored Twig design team was thrilled to be part of this incredible Sarasota wedding.

Thank you to all of the wedding professionals that made this wedding so special.
