This month, we’re featuring Frances & Daniel’s elegant coastal wedding in Sarasota, Florida, where timeless romance met playful, personalized details for a celebration that guests won’t soon forget. From their traditional Catholic ceremony at St. Martha Catholic Church to a stunning reception at The St. Regis Longboat Key, every element was thoughtfully curated to reflect the couple’s love story.
THE WEDDING
Following a traditional Catholic ceremony, Frances and Daniel celebrated with family and friends at a breathtaking waterfront reception filled with soft florals, custom details, and elevated guest experiences. A palette of blush, peach, buttery yellow, and soft blue created a fresh, garden-inspired aesthetic that carried throughout every aspect of the day.
From the moment guests arrived, thoughtful design elements set the tone for the celebration. Custom signage and personalized details welcomed guests into an unforgettable evening, while lush floral arrangements added color, texture, and romance throughout the venue.
A custom shell-shaped ice sculpture by Ice Pro made a stunning statement at the reception. Expertly carved with the couple’s initials and wedding date, the personalized piece was illuminated with soft pink lighting, creating an elegant focal point that perfectly complemented the celebration’s coastal-inspired aesthetic.
Guests also enjoyed seamless transportation throughout the festivities thanks to Siesta Trolley, adding both convenience and a fun nod to the couple’s Sarasota celebration. Inside the reception, candlelight, abundant blooms, and elegant decor transformed the space into a romantic garden-inspired setting. Every detail felt intentional, creating an atmosphere that was both sophisticated and inviting. The result was a celebration that beautifully reflected Frances and Daniel’s style while giving guests an experience they will remember for years to come.
FAVORITE MOMENT
When asked about her favorite wedding day memory, Frances shared simply, “Marrying the love of my life.” While the day was filled with beautiful details and unforgettable moments, it was saying “I do” to Daniel that made the celebration truly special.
Cheers to Frances & Daniel, their wedding was not just a beautiful event, it was a reflection of their love and the beginning of their forever!
