Sarah and JP May 25, 2008

Sarah and JP and I have been planning together for just a year almost exactly. We began our planning together with a search for a venue. After looking at 9 venues, I do believe that Sarah picked exactly the right one. The wedding was flawless and couldn't have been better! Here is the first (sorry it's dark) picture of the happy couple! A large, very cooperative, great looking bridal party!

This was another wedding that I did the flowers for, Sarah is an interior designer and decided on a green, cream, and chocolate color scheme. It came out quite beautiful!

Below is one of the tall centerpieces, it had 3 small arrangements around the bottom.

My favorite piece of any wedding! It is an arch that was painstakenly made of curly willow, pussy willow, cymbidium orchids, dendrobium orchids, and hanging candles (and a little cement and wire) ;)

Both Sarah and JP had a lot of college friends at the wedding. The sorority sisters are here holding JP in the middle of that pile!

And here is Sarah with her girls.

Cutting the cake!

Sarah and JP decided not to do a garter toss, but there was quite a group of single girls lined up for the bouquet toss!

I must say that Sarah had a great collection of vendors. The ceremony was held at Faith Lutheran Church in Sarasota. Strings Attached played the touching and ecclectic assortment of music for the processional. The reception was at the Hyatt Regency Sarasota. The hotel was newly renovated and looks absolutely amazing! The catering staff was top notch and I could not have asked for anything better! They were truly on top of every detail. Limelight Photography was there to capture each image. D.J. was Rob Vollmar from Grant Hemond and Associates. I have to say one of the best D.J.'s that I have worked with! The dance floor was packed (literally- people were dancing on the carpet) all night. He talked when needed and didn't when he didn't!

Congratulations Sarah and JP for a job well done with your planning! Working with you was a complete pleasure!
