Captured by Northern California wedding photographers THE GANEYS, Abbie and Will’s JUBILEE ESTATE wedding in scenic Sarasota, Florida, was a testament to the beauty of love and family. Photographer Emily tells us, "From the moment we stepped onto the grounds of JUBILEE ESTATE, I was captivated by its charm—a sprawling property nestled along the water, adorned with lush fruit orchards and towering palm trees. It was the perfect backdrop for Abbie and Will’s wedding day, infused with vibrant pinks, purples, and pastel tones that wove harmoniously with the natural beauty of the surroundings. But, beyond the beauty of the surroundings, I was so inspired by the love story that was taking place in front of us. Not only between the couple – but of their sweet families. Everyone was so supportive and emotional throughout the day. It was my favorite reminder of why I feel so fortunate to have this career."
The invitation suite created by THE FOX IN THE ATTIC served as a prelude to the tropical affair—a watercolor masterpiece. This intricate and delicate design carried through to the signage, menus, and guest favors—a pack of custom playing cards that added a touch of charm to every detail. FLOWER SMITH'S artistry was evident at every turn, with juicy florals, delicate bouquets, and arrangements adorning every corner of the venue. Each bloom was placed intentionally and seemed to bloom more beautifully than the next.
Abbie wore a strapless gown adorned with petite floral designs and a sprinkle of glitter, perfectly capturing her radiant beauty. And as she walked down the aisle, accompanied by the couple’s 7-month-old daughter, who melted hearts as the adorable flower girl, there wasn’t a dry eye in sight.
One of the most touching moments of the day was when guests filled paper cones with dried flowers, representing loved ones who had passed. As Abbie and Will recessed through a shower of these petals at the end of the ceremony, they were surrounded by the love and blessings of family members who couldn’t be there in person—a poignant reminder of the enduring bond of family.
Cocktail hour was a tropical delight, complete with a pina colada machine that added a refreshing twist to the festivities – complete with cocktail umbrellas. After dinner, the dessert spread was a delightful affair – a variety of vintage cakes tempting guests with their sweet indulgence. A highlight of the evening was when, as the night drew to a close, dozens of guests jumped into the pool after the bride and groom! It was a fitting end to a day filled with love, laughter, and cherished memories!
