A Love Story in Full Bloom: An Elegant Wedding at The Ritz-Carlton Sarasota

Weddings are more than just celebrations—they are a reflection of the couple’s love, their story, and the memories they create together. This beautiful wedding at The Ritz-Carlton Sarasota was the perfect embodiment of that, filled with love, elegance, and breathtaking floral designs. From the ceremony arch to the reception décor, we were thrilled to bring this couple's floral dreams to life, creating a wedding that was as beautiful as it was unforgettable.

A Ceremony by the Water: Love Framed by Lush Florals

The ceremony was set against the stunning backdrop of the Ritz-Carlton Sarasota Lawn. To perfectly complement this natural beauty, we designed a lush, full-coverage floral arch. Partnering with Swanky Soiree Events for the stunning 9' moongate arch rental, we adorned it with a beautiful blend of blue and white florals, including hydrangea, stock, delphinium, and roses. The design, with its natural base of assorted native foliage and a soft, airy feel, framed the couple’s vows in a way that felt both intimate and grand.

The arch was bursting with textures and depth, creating a perfect setting for the couple to exchange their vows. The florals—hand-picked to create a harmonious balance of elegance and romance—were the centerpiece of the ceremony. We were proud to create a floral masterpiece that not only matched the stunning venue but also enhanced the love shared between this wonderful couple.

Bridal Bouquets: Modern Garden Style Meets Romance

The bride’s bouquet was designed in a modern, garden style, lush, textural, and hand-tied to perfection. In shades of whites, ivory, and soft blue accents, the bouquet featured focal blooms like roses, ranunculus, and lisianthus, skirted with an assortment of elegant foliage. Wrapped in a delicate white satin ribbon, adorned with pearl pins, the bouquet was a reflection of the couple's timeless love and modern sensibility.

A stunning tablecape

Each table featured a centerpiece of gorgeous florals, paired with elegant glassware and place settings. The blend of blues and whites brought a fresh, airy feeling to the tables, while the dusty blue candles provided a soft, intimate glow. The atmosphere was a beautiful mix of sophistication and intimacy, with every element thoughtfully designed to reflect the couple’s unique style and love.

The Perfect Balance of Elegance and Fun

From the lush, full-coverage ceremony arch to the elevated reception arrangements, every floral detail played a role in creating an atmosphere of love and celebration. The florals were rich with texture and color, adding depth to each moment while maintaining a sense of elegance throughout the day. Beneva Weddings & Events worked alongside a team of amazing vendors to make this couple’s dream wedding a reality.
