Second Time Around

Susan and Aaron are an awesome couple. When they first married, they had a fairly simple wedding, but Aaron promised her that someday she would have the wedding of her dreams.

Holding true to his promise and three children later, Aaron made sure that his beautiful bride had the wedding she had always dreamed about.

Susan fell in love with the historic Powell Crosley Estate. It is a two-and-a-half-story Mediterranean mansion built in 1929 and sits in the southwest corner of Bradenton on approximately 60 acres on Sarasota Bay.

The bride selected a breathtaking gown with a sheer lace overlay, embellished with crystals and embroidery. The gown finished in a full sweeping lace train with delicate appliques.

Her cascading bridal bouquet was the perfect accent to her luxurious wedding gown.  It consisted of shades of pink, blush, and white and overflowed with a huge variety of roses, accented with white peonies and tendrils of variegated ivy.

The elegant tone was set with white lace wedding invitations with striking gold lettering that replicated the lace detail in Susan’s wedding gown.

Tammy was extremely accommodating and easy to work with even when we had last minute changes. She always got us the best deals and worked very hard to make every dollar count. I would highly recommend her without reservation.– Aaron

Thank you to the team of wedding vendors who made the day so special.
