Themed Wedding Archives

This Bridgerton wedding theme was twisted with a bit of Royal garden party. Creating a colorful display fit for a Queen. Weddings by Kasey designed this event as the backdrop for a Central Florida wedding pros networking event. Which means, if local wedding pros were impressed, you are sure to wow your guests when you create your very own themed wedding.

The Details

First the planner considered the joining of 2 themes. That is “the season’s” garden parties and Bridgerton. Next she chose a few traditional elements and added a modern twist. For instance the wicker chargers mixed with gold flatware. Coupled with the lavender napkins tied in a bow and held with a pearl accent. Without a doubt we are in love with the fantastic teapots, cups and saucers provided by The Vintage Dish. And we must say, no Bridgerton themed wedding is complete without teapots as centerpieces.

The Garden Villa wedding venue in Winter Park, FL added to the ambience of this event. With it’s hard wood floors and wooden beams. Along with the understated, yet modern chandeliers and beautiful gardens (not pictured here).

ahh, the desserts

Butter Bliss Bakeshop perfected this themed event in the dessert display. First delicate pastries and muffins. Likewise the intricate flowers on top of each cookie. Then mixed with the modern cake pop and individual dessert cups. And don’t forget the chocolate covered strawberries. Finishing this array with a display that took us on a journey through our senses.

Unquestionably your wedding guests will promenade home with a smile on their faces and a desire for more sweets when you serve up a royal dessert display.

Starting with the date

Sarah-Ann and Alfie chose the day they first met and their favorite holiday – October 31st. Sarah-Ann says, “We wanted our Hallowedding to feel like a fun and spooky Halloween party and our coordinator, of Costal Coordinating, and her team definitely helped to make that idea come to life!”

choosing colors

To play to the theme, floral arrangements were created in Halloween colors. In the same vein, orange linens added a bright pop of color. Similarly, the bridesmaids wore juniper green dresses.

Alfie and Sarah-Ann chose The Treasury on The Plaza in St. Augustine, FL. This happy couple chose their venue mainly based off of how beautiful the vault and cathedral ballroom are. To make a special moment for the couple, the coordinator brought them into the reception area prior to guest arrival. Sarah-Ann said, “It was amazing to see our ideas come to life and it looked better than we imagined.” Likewise, they created a special moment for their guests by coming out of the hidden vault instead of through the main entrance.
