[section title=”The Planning”]

[field title=”Wedding Colors”]Neutrals, champagne, and light pinks. [/field]

[field title=”Design / Vibe / Vision”]Emily wanted a color palette that complimented the colors of the Ringling, so she went with a soft color palette and design elements that played into the architecture of the infamous courtyard.[/field]

[field title=”Proposal Story”]Emily and Kevin grew up together about 10 minutes away from each other, but they didn’t end up meeting until about a decade ago through mutual friends. They remained friends for a few years until they both happened to move to Florida. Kevin asked Emily out for dinner (for probably the 100th time), and she obliged. After that, they both felt there was something there, and the rest was history. Kevin proposed on a Christmas trip to the Breakers in Newport, Rhode Island, celebrating afterward with a magical snowfall, clam chowder, and champagne. [/field]

[section title=”The Details”]

[field title=”Food & Drink”]The wedding day was catered by Simply Gourmet, who ensured that the dining experience was as noteworthy as the occasion itself. To enhance the dining experience, Culinary Creations by Metz offered a selection of spirits and wines, carefully chosen to pair with the menu. The coordination between food and beverage ensured that the celebration was as delicious as it was memorable.[/field]

Once they chose the Ringling Museum as their venue, the goal was to complement the design of the statement pink Renaissance-style palace, keeping to a palette of muted pinks and champagnes. Escort cards were attached to tiny brass bells as a nod to Kevin’s last name, “Bell.”
