The Ringling Museum's Architecture Did the Heavy Lifting for This Black-Tie Wedding

Alexandra and Tyler held their black-tie wedding at The Ringling Museum in Sarasota, choosing to let the historic architecture stand largely on its own rather than build out a heavy design concept. Florals were kept to all white, a choice that reads as restraint against the museum's existing detail rather than competing with it. The couple added an espresso martini hour, a specific, adult alternative to a standard cocktail hour that planners weighing a signature drink station should note. The result leaned on venue and dress code — formal attire, a single floral palette — over added decor to set the tone.
