A luxury anniversary celebration in Sarasota, FL, with larger than life florals and a show-stopping cake!
If you’re planning a luxury wedding or milestone celebration in Florida (or anywhere!), this exquisite anniversary event was the epitome of elegant design and personalized detail. With expert planning by NK Productions Wedding Planning and lush floral design by Botanica International Design Studio, every moment was curated to perfection—centered around a breathtaking sugar flower cake by award-winning cake designer Julie Deffense.
The four-tier cake was a modern masterpiece, adorned with lifelike handmade sugar flowers - including roses, jasmine, and blooming vines that cascaded naturally from top to bottom. Crafted entirely by hand, the cake reflected the couple’s enduring love story and stood proudly under a custom designed glass canopy, surrounded by dramatic golden florals and sweeping views of the waterfront.
Guests were welcomed to a garden-inspired space featuring oversized urns of forsythia branches, curated tablescapes, and a signature cocktail bar in custom green, all meticulously styled by the NK Productions team. The floral artistry by Botanica brought a natural sense of movement and romance to every element—from large-scale centerpieces to soft white tulip bouquets and delicate table blooms.
Personalized touches like monogrammed plates, scalloped menus, and framed black-and-white wedding photos from generations past created an intimate and emotional experience for every guest. As the sun set over Sarasota Bay, guests raised their glasses to celebrate a couple whose love story continues to inspire.
Whether you’re planning a destination wedding at one of Sarasota’s iconic venues like The Ringling, Selby Gardens or the Powel Crosley Estate, prestigious hotels like the St Regis or the Ritz-Carlton, or a luxury anniversary soirée at a private estate, this Sarasota celebration is proof that timeless design and expert collaboration make all the difference.
