Sandpearl- Private Dining Room

It has been awhile since I have posted a blog because we have been crazy busy with all the spring weddings. We have really enjoyed working with all of you and I love the ideas that you bring to me. Each one of you puts your signature on your weddings and it is so fun to assist with ideas to create the look you are wanting. Last Saturday was no exception. We worked by email with Stephanie from New York and we never even met her until the day before the wedding. We were able to perfectly achieve exactly the flower style she was going for. She was a wonderful client and planned a very intimate wedding. Congratulations!

We just received a review from the Mother of the Bride ....

Debbie,

I just wanted to thank you again for making Stephanie and Ryans ceremony backup site and reception area exquisite in every way. It was difficult putting all of this together long distance not knowing how it would turn out, but when we walked into the reception it really took our breath away, it was beyond what we hoped for. Our guests commented all night about how beautiful the flowers were and how great the room looked. But more importantly a very disappointed Bride and Groom felt the weight of the world lift when they saw those rooms. As the mother of the bride there are no words to express my gratitude for that.

If you ever need a referral from the kids or myself please do not hesitate to ask. I am sincere when I say that you guys saved the day for them and we feel blessed that we found you to do our flowers. I credit you and your staff for making a disappointing stressful day turn out to be the dream day they had planned regardless of the unfortunate weather and other logistical issues. It is absolutely true what the quote on your website says because you certainly "Exceeded our expectations with unparalleled style and expertise!"

Thank you so much!

Martha Stewart Winner Sunday , Nov 9 at the Sandpearl

Pink was the color of the day for our Martha Stewart Wedding. Natalie chose pink hydrangea, white poenies, and shades of pink roses. We used large garden roses called esperance and double party to compliment her theme. Her dream was to have lots of sparkles for her fairy tale wedding and so we added flower jewelry to her bouquet and hanging crytals from the centerpieces. Congratulations Natalie and Tom! Enjoy your honeymoon on Clearwater Beach.

Wedding Nov 8 at the Sandpearl

Last weekend we had the pleasure of creating the flowers for Erica Wilensky at the Sandpearl. It was the perfect day for a beach wedding and the Chuppah on the boardwalk was set against the most gorgeous blue sky you could ever ask for. The theme was natural elegance and sunset colors of peach mini callas and green cymbidium orchids were used to compliment the rustic chuppah with curly willow. In the ballroom Erica selected tall glass vases that were lit by LED lighting and had 6 foot tall curly willow with cream open cut callas, peach callas and mango vanda orchids. It was the perfect choice for the tall ceilings in the ballroom . Congratulations Erica to all your attention to details !

Sandpearl wedding with a Sand Castle

We had the pleasure of working with Laura and Richard this past Sunday . It was a beautiful gorgeous day and all the details of the wedding reflected their special personalities. Richard personally greeted all his guests and as they walked down to the beach they were greeted by a sandcastle with the couples name on it. Refreshments were served before the wedding so that no one was ever found wanting for anything. After the ceremony Richard swept his new bride off her feet literally!! As they were taking pictures, drinks and refreshments were served on the Gulf Lawn of the Sandpearl http://www.sandpearl.com/ . Every where you looked you found people conversing and enjoying the perfect day. Marly at Beautiful Wedding Photography never missed an opportunity to capture every detail . http://www.beautifulweddingphotography.com/ After enjoying the fabulous food at the Sandpearl , they walked upstairs to The Cove Room which features a view of Clearwater Beach and the Gulf. Since the theme was fall, we did lush full centerpieces with vindela roses, leonitas roses, creamy hydrangea and rusty red lilies. We did a carved pumpkin with the couples name and wedding date on it and for the favors, the bride selected gourmet candy apples. The night cont. with more fabulous food served by the Sandpearl's award winning chef and dancing into the night. Kathy Demarco from the Sandpearl ensured that every detail was followed explicitely. Laura and Richard beamed with joy and it was a perfect start to the rest of the their life! Thanks for letting The Bride's Bouquet be a part of it!
