Florals at The Crosley
The Powel Crosley Estate is known for its gorgeous architecture, carefully restored interior, and stunning views of Sarasota Bay, but often couples want to make a unique impact on the historic building. What is a simple, yet dramatic way to accomplish this? Florals!No event is complete without the perfect touch of luscious flowers and greenery, and the Crosley is the perfect venue to pair with your favorite flower. Not all flowers are the same – some are better for bouquets, while others are perfect for decorating your guest tables. Here are some of our favorite floral trends for weddings at the Powel Crosley Estate.
Floral Staircases
The Powel Crosley Estate has two floors of beautiful rooms to fill with your beautiful wedding décor, but don’t forget to decorate the stairs! The exterior stairs to the balcony are especially popular with brides wanting to make a dramatic entrance to their outdoor ceremonies. Consider decorating the stairs themselves with florals to add a natural element to the design. Simple florals and candles are an elegant touch to the interior stairs for a unique photo op.
Oversized Bouquets
Grand weddings happen almost daily at the Powel Crosley Estate and we think that calls for a grand bouquet as well. Oversized bouquets are becoming increasingly popular for good reason – and we think they’re the perfect match for weddings at the Crosley. Use some greenery to fill in spaces between flowers and don’t forget to consider adding trailing elements like ferns or vines.
Greenery
Not all floral decorations need actual flowers. Sometimes just having some greenery on the tables and around the estate makes just as much of a statement. 2021 wedding trends have especially popularized using greenery for décor and we think this trend is perfect for the Powel Crosley Estate’s understated beige color scheme and Mediterranean inspiration.
Decorate the Mantle
Whether you choose to have an indoor or outdoor ceremony, the mantle at the center of the Powel Crosley Estate’s Great Room is hard to miss. The detailed stone carvings perfectly pair with lush, beautiful florals that can decorate this multi-purpose space. Whether you use this for your ceremony or just the reception, don’t forget to consult your florist about decorating the fireplace.
