A Romantic Outdoor Wedding at the Powel Crosley Estate in Sarasota, Florida

With waterfront views, lush greenery, palm trees and a historic mansion on its grounds, the Powel Crosley Estate in Sarasota, Florida, adds a romantic touch to any affair. One of the best ways to take advantage of this gorgeous venue is with an outdoor wedding. Erin Rowe (30 and a speech pathologist) and Casey Guidera (32 and a physical therapist) did just that and worked with NK Productions, their planner, to highlight its beauty with an outdoor celebration covered in gold, blush and pink details. Flowers By Fudgie placed lush arrangements of hydrangeas and roses on each side of the ceremony space as their guests filled rows of gold chiavari chairs. Casey waited by the archway in a formal black tuxedo as Erin walked down the aisle in a classic white ball gown dripping with lace detailing and accented with an ivory sash. For a hint of color, she carried a bouquet of pink roses and white hydrangeas that matched their decor. Once Erin and Casey shared their first kiss, all finished the night with a festive indoor and outdoor reception. Lines of blush linen-covered tables filled the lawn as guests took in a view of Sarasota Bay and listened to live music. Nestled inside was another detail we love, a table inspired by the day Erin and Casey met. “During the cocktail hour, there was a New Year's Eve table featuring decorations and photos from every New Year's Eve we spent together over the past 10 years,” Erin says. All finished the night with a slice of their three-tier ivory and blush wedding cake and took a few dances to acoustic tunes from Jonathan Cortez. Limelight Photography captured every moment, below.
