Marie Selby Gardens Wedding {Erin & Russ}

Married at Marie Selby Gardens

Erin and Russ were wed at the absolutely gorgeous Marie Selby Gardens this past Summer. The new Mr. & Mrs. chose to have an intimate celebration of their union. Paired with a stunning and secluded venue, their day felt like happening upon a garden fairytale!

The Sarasota venue is a Bayfront sanctuary. It offers an array of photo spots. From beachside to banyan trees to vast rolling gardens and more–the photos made possible at this venue are unforgettable. Erin, Russ and their nearest and dearests joy all throughout the day set in front of each backdrop was a true delight for all. The day started in a cute AirBnb and transitioned into the beautiful gardens.

One of our favorite moments of the day was during the wedding ceremony. Erin’s family surprised the newlyweds by singing and playing the guitar–performing a song just for them to celebrate their biggest moment. It had everyone teary-eyed, including us!

Another special touch? Erin herself is a florist. She created every bit of the florals you see on their dreamy day. Beautiful and so meaningful!
