A Colorful Beach Wedding at the Ritz-Carlton Sarasota Beach Club in Sarasota, Florida
Marissa Ravenna, 34, and Jeffery Hargrave, also known as Jeff, 36, had a colorful beach themed wedding in Sarasota, Florida. "I once saw a wedding at the Ritz Carlton in Sarasota and said if I were to ever get married I would want to get married there!" says Marissa. Strawberry, coral and gold were used as accents throughout the wedding. Their white ceremony decor was matched with red and hot pink roses at each corner of the wedding arch and starfish accents along the aisle. Both Marissa and Jeff had bespoke attire for their special day. Marissa wore a white one-shoulder wedding dress with silver beading while Jeff wore a tan suit with a white shirt and strawberry tie. Their bridesmaids wore different styled strawberry dresses and carried bouquets of hot pink roses and green orchids. The groomsmen had light tan suits from Men's Wearhouse and strawberry ties to complement them. The couple and their guests moved inside for a Florida themed reception with pink, green and coral floral arrangements, gold accents and the name of a bird for each table. Marissa and Jeff made a donation toward saving the birds of Sarasota as their wedding favors.
