After having to postpone their original wedding due to back-to-back hurricanes, Ryan and Gabby finally tied the knot in a bright, whimsical celebration at the Powel Crosley Estate in Sarasota, Florida. The bride, who is originally from England, designed the day with help from Carefully Curated Events, incorporating a bold, tropical color palette and an eclectic English garden party vibe, accented with thrifted vases and candle holders as a nod to the couple’s upcycling business. Luckily for us, Brittany Sidwell Photography was there to capture each and every detail along the way - we promise you won't want to miss a single moment!

Surprising pop of color: Yellow votives

For the ceremony, white chairs and pillars were the perfect neutral backdrop for floral arrangements by Galileo’s Flower Shop that featured plenty of pops of citrus yellow ranunculus. Low aisle arrangements helped create a continuous floral design while remaining subtle and elegant. For the contemporary detail amidst a classic color palette, guests were given a newspaper-inspired program celebrating the couple's relationship.
