From Inspiration to Creation: Ringling Holiday Wedding

​One of the things that sets our Tailored Twig design team apart is our process for working with our clients. Sketching out details of design elements for a wedding or event can truly show a client the vision we have discussed in living color.
 
We thought that sharing some of the inspiration sketches and the completed floral creation would be a wonderful way to share how a vision comes to life. 
 
For our first feature we chose Maria and Charles’ Sarasota holiday wedding at Ca d’Zan, the beautiful historic mansion at The Ringling.

​Their breathtaking outdoor holiday wedding ceremony on the steps of the Ringling Mansion was framed with magnificent stone and tile details, an oversized door in wood and wrought iron and some holiday décor with greenery, and twinkling lights.
 
The color story for their wedding was a bright, beautiful red. Maria, coming from Columbia was looking for something as bold and fiery as her personality.
 
The original design sketch was comprised of three tall gold pedestal vessels, alternating sides up the aisle as you approached the stairs where Maria and Charles would exchange their wedding vows. 

​The vessels increased in size beginning with a 38” tall urn, and progressing to 50” and finally 60” tall as you approached the wedding altar.
 
Each of the three vessels were overflowing with an oversized asymmetrical floral creation containing brilliant red anthurium, several dozen red roses, dark ruby red scabiosa
 and magnificent dark burgundy cymbidium orchids.
 
The altar pieces were a pair of towering 78” vessels with red statement pieces matching the three pieces leading up the aisle, one on each side of the bride and groom. 
 
We would say that the magnificent final floral creation was spot on, creating the perfect backdrop of the Maria and Charles’ luxurious Sarasota outdoor wedding ceremony.
