On January 1st, 2022, the new, and beautiful, Sterling Event Venue opened its doors. This Tuscan styled wedding venue is privately hidden among the hills and lakes of Clermont, FL. Unquestionably it is a magical place. Starting with the elegance and beautiful stonework. Next the trees and spring. Adding to that, the dreamy bridge crossing the stream and taking you to the the ceremony site. Singularly the perfect venue to celebrate the most special day of your life. And for this team of wedding vendors, a stunning backdrop for the first styled shoot of the year.
The Beauty of Dusty Blue
The theme of the styled shoot is “The Beauty of Dusty Blue”. Admittedly dusty blue and coral colors were picked because they coordinate so well with the building as the backdrop.
invitation Suite
Without a doubt we are in love with the stunning invitation suite by Kait from Bare Lettered Design. The invitation suite was in a beautiful dusty blue color. Just perfect for the shoot. Further, the address on the envelope was hand calligraphy done by Kait. Correspondingly making the invitation suite more personal.
Ceremony set-up
Elise van der Lee, the photographer, said, “The ceremony set up was one of my favorite elements of the shoot. The beautiful hexagon arch was center stage. Coupled with the light colored walls. And the chandeliers. Making the setup so dreamy.”
The arch was decorated with flowers. Likewise a flower-piece was placed on top of some crates that matched the arch. Finally, were the candles and candle holders. Such a beautiful set up to say yes to your best friend!
Sterling Event Venue Reception Venue
The Reception and Sweetheart table are draped with beautiful table linens from Olivia Jade Event Linens. Of course in a dusty blue color. Adding to the simple, but lovely table setting are matching napkins. Further, two beautiful flower pieces went in the middle of each table. Identically in dusty blue and coral to go with the theme of the styled shoot.
The cake is displayed on a vintage cart from EVP Rentals. As you can see, it is a welcome addition to the cake display. Speaking of cake, the gorgeous 3 tier cake was designed by Milk & Honey Clermont. Also accented with flowers, giving the finishing touch to the cake.
Matching cupcakes were added to complete the display. Best part of the day, is when the vendors and photographers could try one of the cupcakes.
Wedding Attire
The groom’s suit is from Leonardo Fifth Ave. An amazing company that has the most handsome suits. And, they can custom make your wedding suit.
Afarose provided the bridal gowns. This is an online bridal boutique that has lovely and affordable dresses.
Sterling Event Venue Picture Spots
Sterling Event Venue has so many gorgeous spots for wedding day portraits. We used the beautiful staircase inside the building for some bride & groom pictures. Along with the large windows for some romantic bridal portraits.
Outside the wedding venue offers a wide variety of picture spots. Certainly the bridge with the stream running under. As well as the lush landscape and rocks.
Whether you are looking for an outdoor wedding, ranch wedding or elegant affair, Sterling Event Venue has options for you. We thank all of the wedding professionals involved in this styled shoot for sharing their skills with us, and you. In fact, you can connect with some of these vendors with the links below.
