Wedding Sneak Peek! Elena and Michael

You might have already seen this on our Facebook, but we still wanted to share this fabulous wedding regardless! The wedding of Elena and Michael at The Ritz Carlton Sarasota Members Beach Club was such a fun wedding, not only the day of, but throughout the entire wedding planning process.

Elena was a lover of purple - so for her design we used a variety of shades of purple to achieve her desired look. From purple hydrangea, through purple mokara, phalenopsis and dendrobium orchids, purple anemones, lavender roses and more! There is nothing we love more than a monochromatic color scheme. It achieves such a fabulous look!

In addition to this amazing collage of photos below taken by the wonderful Michael and Rebecca of Limelight Photography, under the pictures, we couldn't help by sharing Elena's kind and thoughtful review of us on Yelp. We cannot thank Jamie Billig, of Confetti Events enough for allowing us to be a part of this special day. Thank you for making the planning process and the wedding day, such a smooth and enjoyable process that ran like a well oiled machine! ;)

"There are not words to describe how AMAZING this team of floral designers is. I hired just a few months before my April wedding, after having to terminate my agreement with another florist that I didn't feel was providing the best service. I was so worried that a florist would not be able to go through the design process quickly enough to meet my crunched timeline, but Ian and Zoe at Botanica just listened to what I wanted and reassured me that they could do it. When they showed me my mockup tables, I was FLOORED at how they took what was in my head and make it even better than I had imagined. With that reassurance, I gladly signed the contract, which was reasonably priced and easy to negotiate. 

On my wedding day, THEY BLEW MY MIND! I cry just thinking about how gorgeous the reception site was and how excited my groom and I were to see it. Botanica thought of everything and my guests said they had only seen such amazing flowers and attention to detail on David Tutera's show! Even the venue staff said that it was the most exciting decor setup that they had seen in that venue. Not to mention, they had to relocate and adjust the entire setup for my ceremony and cocktail hour on the fly due to extremely high winds. Ian and Zoe are not only extremely talented and awesome at what they do, but they were a REAL PLEASURE to work with. They listened to every word that I said and guided me along the process. Meeting with them was like getting together with Friends. They never seemed stressed about anything and so on my wedding day, I had ZERO STRESS because I knew they had everything under control.

I can not recommend them enough and will never forget the integral part they played in making my wedding day better than I had ever dreamed of!"
