Romantic & Textured: Erin & Nick’s Wedding at The Bishop Museum of Science & Nature | Bradenton, Florida
Erin and Nick’s wedding at The Bishop Museum of Science & Nature in Bradenton, Florida, was a breathtaking celebration of intimacy, texture, and romance. The courtyard setting offered the perfect open-air backdrop for their Ceremony and Reception, surrounded by natural stone architecture and warm candlelight. A palette of white and green with gold accents set the tone for timeless elegance, while lush arrangements by Beneva Weddings brought soft movement and organic charm. From the very beginning, every detail felt intentional—reflecting the couple’s desire for a day that felt both personal and effortlessly beautiful.
The courtyard Ceremony was an elegant display of romance and tranquility. French crossback chairs from Southern Chairs and soft market lighting transformed the outdoor space into an inviting atmosphere for both vows and celebration. The team at MDP Events perfectly coordinated each detail, ensuring the design flowed seamlessly from ceremony to reception. Linens by Linens by the Sea and a custom welcome sign by So Staged added refined touches that complemented the natural setting. The candlelit ambiance created a soft glow as Erin walked down the aisle in her gown from The Perfect Dress Sarasota, with hair and makeup by SMP MUA completing her timeless look.
As the evening transitioned into dinner and dancing, the courtyard came alive under the market lights. Sarasota Catering provided an unforgettable culinary experience, and Breezin Entertainment kept guests dancing all night long. The cake by Cakes by Ron was both elegant and delicious, adding a sweet finish to a perfect evening. The romantic tones of white, green, and gold carried throughout every element, from the floral centerpieces to the carefully curated rentals. Photographer Alisa Sue beautifully captured every meaningful moment, preserving the magic of a night that was intimate, candlelit, and full of love.
