A Colorful Selby Gardens Wedding

I hope you guys are ready for a show-stopper today, because this wedding at Selby Gardens in Sarasota was one for the books! With a beautiful soft spring color palette, a venue full of lush tropical plants, and an al fresco style dinner, you truly can’t get much better than this. So come along with me down memory lane as we reminisce about their day.

The Location | Marie Selby Gardens

Jess and Klavey tied the knot in April at the BEAUTIFUL Marie Selby Gardens in Sarasota. If you’re looking for a spot to host your wedding in the Tampa or Sarasota area, this is the place! With a variety of location options to host your ceremony and reception, you can truly make this space your own.

The Decor | A Soft Spring Palette

Jessica chose beautiful soft spring colors for her Selby Gardens wedding. The soft muted colors truly allowed the venue and nature to do all the talking! We especially loved the soft seating area during cocktail hour to bring in a lounge feel to the outdoor space.

The Reception On The Lawn

After an al fresco style dinner, Jessica and Klavey danced the night away under the stars with their friends and family. They concluded the night with a beautiful ribbon exit and started their “happily ever after”.
