Lauren and Tony were married in front of the Ca' d'Zan Mansion at the John and Marble Ringling Museum of Art. The Ringlings' dazzling palatial mansion is a tribute to the American Dream and reflects the splendor and romance of Italy. Described as “the last of the Gilded Age mansions” to be built in America, Ca' d’Zan has 56 incredible rooms filled with art and original furnishings. With its Venetian Gothic architecture, the mansion is a combination of the grandeur of Venice’s Doge’s Palace, combined with the gothic grace of Cà d’Oro, with Sarasota Bay serving as its Grand Canal.

Becki Creighton from Flowers by Fudgie describes the florals: "The bride carried a hand tied bouquet of David Austin Patients roses. The bridesmaids wore pewter gowns and carried small hand tied bouquets of yellow garden roses with billy balls, freesia , succulents and seeded eucalyptus.

For the ceremony flowers and table pieces the couple chose a colorful mix of blush hydrangea with circus or a bi-colored yellow/red rose along with yellow garden roses as the main focus. Also included were orange and yellow lilies, and yellow button poms and billy balls. The floral pieces made a bold statement on the tiffany blue table linens."
