It's the feather dress for me
The Westin Sarasota was an architectural and modern backdrop for not only the ceremony and reception, but also the playful and stylish moments of getting ready. Sabrina's glamorous style was emphasized by unique and playful feather details on her gown and shoes! Matt and his groomsmen brought the classic and cool fashion to pair.
These show-stopping Betsey Johnson bridal heels perfectly match the bride's feathered dress train! From photographer Kéra:
"The church and hotel showcased its minimalist architecture with clean lines and white walls that allow the bride's style with feather dress and shoes to SHINE."
Both Sabrina's gorgeous gown and her bridesmaid's dresses were found at The Perfect Dress Sarasota. Her bridal gown is from the All Who Wander collection, which features boho chic designs. We loved the color of these bridesmaids dresses, called "Desert Sage".
From childhood friends to newlyweds
Growing up together, you might think that this bride and groom were destined to be sweethearts! Their dads have been longtime best friends and Sabrina and Matt actually went to elementary school together.
They intentionally kept in touch with each other as friends over the years, until things changed when Matt took an internship at Sabrina's father's company. They fell deeply in love and Sabrina was over the moon when Matt popped the question, surrounded by their families.
After their "I do's", this bride and groom swept away for golden hour on the rooftop of the Westin. We love how the playful glam of Sabrina's dress looks against Matt's classic black suit!
From the photographer:
"These rooftop golden hour photos that felt like a big warm hug in Florida winter. There are couples you love and then those couples you fall in love with — I am utterly in love with these two and they continue to impress me with their kindness and love they extend to others."

Elegant reception design with a fur baby cameo
After saying their vows and some rooftop snuggles, Matt and Sabrina were ready to celebrate with their family and friends "who have become more like family". Their reception design was classic and romantic, with ivory and greenery accents.
Not only did the bride and groom have a featured cocktail named after their dog Maggie, but both their beloved pups arrived as guests of honor. We love making time for fur baby portraits!
"Industry talent from Sarasota, FL. came together to make magic. The soft array of white blooms sprinkled with greenery and feathers by One Co Florist and the modern setting from the Westin Sarasota set the stage for a night to be remembered."
This gorgeous cake, with feather-like sail detailing (evoking the bridal fashion) was created by Ruby Petals Patisserie.
Sabrina and Matt's wedding is the perfect fit for any couple seeking high-end design with a combination of classic and glamorous touches!
To keep the party going all night, the newlyweds enjoyed the electrifying performance by The Matt Winter Band. Live music makes such a difference in how many guess will be excited to show off their moves on the dance floor!
