Silvett and Horton live in New York but came down to Florida for their wedding in Sarasota.  They came down a few months before and had their engagement session with dad.  They are a really nice couple and dad was happy to see them again at their wedding on Sunday at the Powel Crosley Estate.  It was the second day in a row that dad got to work with Darla Stafford.  She was there for the girls’ hair and makeup and she did a fabulous job as always.  Silvett and Horton also had Elegant Designs by Yelena Riches as the florist and the cake was made by Beautiful Cakes by Ron.

Silvett and Horton put together a gorgeous wedding!  There were beautiful details all over.  Mom liked the hanging pomander flower balls and the origami table assignments for the guests.  There was a book with the couple’s engagement images telling the story of how they met and began their relationship, and they also had cool panorama strips of the pictures on all of the guests’ napkins.  One really great idea was a sketch on canvas that the couple had out next to glasses holding paint and paintbrushes.  There was a sign asking guests to help fill in a grid on the sketch so that the couple would end up with a painting they could use as art to hang in their apartment.  What a special memory to create and display in your home!  Guests were also asked to write down a wish, some wisdom, or a hello for the bride and groom and place them in one box for the honeymoon and another for the first anniversary.

During the reception, Silvett changed into a red Asian dress.  The cake, table assignments, and other details also gave the wedding an Asian theme.  Silvett’s red dress and heels looked amazing as the night ended and she left with Horton in a bright red convertible.  Thanks Silvett and Horton for having dad there for your wedding!  You did a terrific job putting everything together.  Congratulations!

Guests were given parasols for shade from the hot sun during the ceremony:

Mom absolutely loved the romantic lace on Silvett’s veil and the silk bow and pick-ups on the back of her gown:

The roasted pig looked like he was chillin’ with his shades on:
