The couple celebrated their modern love story in a way that felt deeply personal, stylish, and effortlessly cool. From wine-colored florals to chic black bridesmaid dresses and vintage-inspired details throughout the day, every element was intentionally designed to let the iconic Spanish-style estate shine.
As their wedding planner, Peony Wedding Co. focused on creating a seamless experience that honored the couple’s vision while allowing space for meaningful moments, unforgettable dancing, and plenty of personality.
A Timeless Sarasota Wedding Venue: The Powel Crosley Estate
The Powel Crosley Estate is one of Sarasota’s most iconic wedding venues, known for its Mediterranean Revival architecture, waterfront views, and Old World charm. For Amanda and Daniel, the venue’s classic Spanish details set the tone for a design that felt refined yet unfussy. The ceremony and reception flowed naturally through the estate’s spaces, creating an intimate atmosphere while still allowing room for a lively celebration.
By keeping the décor minimal and intentional, the venue itself became a focal point — arched doorways, textured walls, and historic charm provided a stunning backdrop that didn’t need over-embellishment.
Old Hollywood Glam Meets Modern Design
The design vision leaned into clean lines, rich tones, and vintage glamour. Wine-colored floral accents added depth and drama without overwhelming the space, perfectly complementing the warm tones of the estate. Bridesmaids wore chic black dresses and carried trendy calla lilies, creating a sleek, modern contrast against the historic setting.
Amanda’s bridal look was pure Old Hollywood. Her hair was styled in glamorous vintage waves, and her gown made a statement with a dramatic silhouette and rosette-style detailing at the bottom — timeless, romantic, and unforgettable. The overall décor remained minimalistic, allowing the couple’s style and the venue’s architecture to take center stage.
Fun fact: Mandy jumped into this wedding with less than 48 hours notice! She 100% knocked it out of the park, and I have forever added her to my preferred vendors list. She is amazing!
Thoughtful Details & A Night to Remember
What truly made Amanda and Daniel’s wedding special were the personal, carefully curated details woven throughout the day. Guests were greeted with a playing card guest book, a playful nod to classic style, while a vintage Crosley record player — perfectly matched to the estate — added charm and character to the celebration.
One of the standout moments was the couple’s chic vintage and thrifted cigar station, which quickly became a guest favorite and added to the Old Hollywood lounge feel of the evening. As the night went on, the dance floor stayed packed — a true reflection of the joy, connection, and incredible group of friends surrounding the newlyweds.
And in a beautifully modern twist, Amanda and Daniel chose to change their last names together, becoming the Lockes — a meaningful decision that reflected their partnership and shared future.
I mean…just the coolest couple EVERR!!

Every element of the day was thoughtfully planned in advance, allowing the couple to remain fully present and enjoy a celebration that felt both effortless and elevated.
