Wedding at the Powel Crosley Estate: Anuradha and Bharani’s Indian Wedding

Jason loved Anu and Bharani’s wedding!  Dancing in the streets, bright colors, beautiful decor, an awesome couple, and lots of love and laughter – what an amazing day!  The wedding was at the Powel Crosley Estate with Sarah Lansky as the day of coordinator.  Anu was a gorgeous bride!  She had her hair and makeup done by Geetaz.  Her red sari stood out brilliantly against the bridesmaids and the yellow decor at the reception.  Flowers by Fudgie was the florist and Affairs in the Air set up the lighting.  Jason had Van Tran with him as a second shooter during the ceremony to help capture all the fun events and traditions.  To keep things simple for people visiting our blog to see Jason’s pictures, we didn’t share any of Van’s images here, but Jason said it was great to work with him and we appreciate his help!

The horse for the groom’s procession (the Baraat) was from Sunshine Carriages and the priest at the ceremony was  Pandit Vishnu (813-728-7512).  It was a meaningful ceremony with traditions such as the Jaimala where the bride and groom exchange flower garlands, the Agni Pradikshina where the bride and groom’s garmets are joined together, the Mangalphera or walk around the sacred fire, and the Saptapadi where the priest guides the bride and groom to take seven steps forward in their first act as a married couple. There was history and cultural tradition in each part of the start of their lives as husband and wife.  What a wonderful foundation for their marriage!

The reception was outside in a tent from U.S. Tent Rental.  I love the deep yellow color used for linens and decor!  There were also candles and tall crystal candelabras.  Dinner was from Milan Catering with a cake made by Publix.  The music was from Dudha Productions and guests had fun in the photo booth from Shutterbooth.  Jason was honored to be part of such a beautiful day for a terrific couple.  Congratulations and thank you Anu and Bharani!

Wedding at the Powel Crosley Estate: LeeAnn and Kevin

Jason knew from LeeAnn and Kevin’s engagement session that they would have a gorgeous wedding and be a gorgeous bride and groom.  It truly was a beautiful day, and lots of fun too!  Jason said he will always remember this wedding as the first time he’s seen a Teletubbie make an appearance on a wedding day:).  LeeAnn and Kevin were married at the Powel Crosley Estate.  The purple used at their engagement session was the main wedding color and Leeann’s glittery purple shoes were fabulous.  Milan Catering and Event Design helped put together the look of the day.  Purple ribbon held the floral arrangements along the ceremony aisle and the linens on the reception tables were shades of purple.  The groom and groomsmen wore purple shirts and the bridesmaids were in purple one-shouldered gowns.  The wedding cake was actually a top layer of cake over a cupcake tower and the cupcakes had lavender liners and lavender flowers on top.  Jenifer of A Perfect Day Wedding Ceremonies was the officiant and at the reception the DJ was D.J. OBlaze.

When the reception started off with the song “Shots” and everyone in the wedding party having shots, all the guests knew it would be a fun night.  There was lots of dancing, singing, and partying before the night ended with a party popper departure.  LeeAnn and Kevin continued the celebration of the start of their marriage with a honeymoon trip to Italy!  Congratulations to a wonderful couple, and thank you for letting us be part of such an awesome day!

Wedding at the Crosley: Kelly and Chris

Jason had a wonderful time with Kelly and Chris as they celebrated their wedding day at the Powel Crosley Estate in Sarasota.  Their families and friends made the day so special.  Bobbi of Weddings by Bobbi was the couple’s wedding coordinator and helped to put the beautiful details of the day together.  Jason met Kelly at the Yellow Strawberry Hair and Makeup Salon where the girls had their hair and makeup done before heading to the Crosley.  The flowers were done by Yelena of Elegant Floral Designs.  The large ceremony arrangements were my favorites!  The main wedding color was pink and the pink flowers really popped against the white flowers and greenery.  Before the ceremony Kelly and Chris had a first sight which is always a sweet moment and also helps because the couple has more time in their day for pictures.  The ceremony was by the water and Grace of A Wedding with Grace was the officiant.  She always does a great job and Jason loves working with her.  At the reception Sarasota Catering Company was the caterer, Dan of Sword Sounds was the DJ, and the wedding cake was made by Cakes by Ron.

Kelly was a gorgeous bride and her and Chris were a happy couple.  Their wedding was both romantic and fun and Jason was happy to be a part of it.  Congratulations to the newlyweds!

 

Wedding at the Crosley: Kristen and Josh

Kristen and Josh had a beautiful wedding at The Powel Crosley Estate in Sarasota.  The couple shared sweet smiles and loving looks throughout their wedding day as they celebrating the beginning of married life together.  Ashly of Olivier Events was the planner for the wedding.  There was a terrific team of vendors including Darla Stafford for hair and makeup, Flowers by Fudgie as the florist, and the always wonderful Grace Felice of A Wedding with Grace as the officiant.  At the ceremony there was music by Karen’s Violins and the music at the reception was from Black Tie DJs.  The couple had Affairs in the Air decorate the outside patio area with beautiful string lights for people to dine and dance under.  The yummy food came from Mattison’s Catering and Publix made the wedding cake.

Kristen looked gorgeous in her Oleg Cassini halter gown!  The wedding party wore green which was the main wedding color.  Kristen and Josh enjoyed a beautiful sunset that evening which Jason used as the backdrop for their bride and groom pictures.  Congratulations newlyweds!  Thanks for having us as part of your wedding day!

Wedding at the Powel Crosley Estate: Marisol and Christian

Marisol and Christian had their wedding in Sarasota at the Powel Crosley Estate.  The wedding had a peacock theme with beautiful blue and green colors and feathers throughout the details.  The couple had planned for an outdoor reception and their tables were set up on the lawn by the water.  Green glass bottles held peacock feathers and looked great next to blue glass bottled waters at each place setting.  There was a circle of peacock feathers under each table number and the numbers were decorated with blue and green designs.  Everything was set…and then as the ceremony began so did the rain!  They say rain on the wedding day is good luck and by the end of the ceremony it was raining hard so Marisol and Christian are sure to have a long a happy marriage!  Dinner was moved inside and by the end of the night the rain had stopped so everyone enjoyed dancing on the terrace.

Congratulations to Marisol, Christian, and their wonderful family!  Remember that without the rain there would be no rainbow. We hope your life together is filled with rainbows!
