The Powel Crosley Estate
A 1929 Mediterranean-style winter home on the water at Sarasota Bay, set in 60 acres and able to hold very large celebrations.
On Location: Bradenton
Bridal Hair & Makeup in Bradenton
Bradenton weddings run from historic estates to riverfront restaurants to garden pavilions. Whichever you have chosen, Anie brings her full bridal hair and makeup experience to you.
She Comes To You
No salon. No driving on your wedding morning.
Bradenton weddings move between very different settings: an estate one weekend, a riverfront restaurant the next, a garden pavilion after that. Everything here is on location: Anie brings the chair and the full kit, sets up wherever you are getting ready, and the only place anyone needs to drive to that morning is the ceremony itself.
Bradenton
Getting married in Bradenton
Bradenton has the widest spread of venue types in the area: 1920s architecture, a working riverfront downtown, and rustic garden venues inland, so the looks here vary more than they do on the keys.
PIER 22
A 1920s Spanish-eclectic building in historic downtown Bradenton, on the water, seating up to 250 and known for its sunsets.
Mixon Farms
The gazebo and pavilion at Mixon make a rustic garden setting, with a koi pond and waterfall, for around a hundred guests.
Close to the islands
Bradenton sits behind Anna Maria, so plenty of couples split the weekend between a downtown venue and the beach.
The Riverwalk and Old Main Street
The Bradenton Riverwalk runs a mile and a half along the Manatee River, past pavilions and a skate park, and most of the wedding photos that come out of downtown are taken along it. Old Main Street, a block in, has the bars and restaurants for the rehearsal dinner, and the Village of the Arts is a few streets south for something less expected.
Robinson Preserve and Palma Sola
West of town, Robinson Preserve is nearly 700 acres of mangrove trail with an observation tower over the bay, and Palma Sola Botanical Park next to it hosts weddings among its palms and fruit trees. The Palma Sola Causeway beach, on the road out to Anna Maria, is where couples stop for sunset pictures with the bay on both sides.
Cortez
Cortez is one of the last working fishing villages on the Gulf, and the Star Fish Company sits right on the dock there: paper plates, picnic tables and boats unloading beside you. It is the usual plan for the night before a beach wedding, a few minutes from Bradenton Beach.
Where the wedding party stays
Downtown, the SpringHill Suites and the Courtyard share the riverfront, and the Hampton Inn & Suites is in the historic district. Out west, the Legacy Hotel at IMG Academy is where families with an athlete in the wedding tend to book. Anie works in the suite, so nobody drives anywhere before the ceremony.

She did both my hair and makeup, and I was beyond impressed. She paid attention to every detail and made sure everything was perfect. My look lasted throughout the entire event, and I felt absolutely beautiful. Her professionalism, talent, and friendly personality made the experience even better. I can't recommend her enough!

Built For The Day
Makeup that survives a Florida wedding
An estate wedding and a riverfront one need different things from a look, and Anie builds to the venue rather than to a formula. In every case it is long-wear, made to photograph, and finished with a touch-up kit you keep.
The Morning
Timing, set in advance
Anie builds the wedding-morning timeline with you before the day, working backwards from your ceremony: who is in the chair when, how long each person takes, and when the bride is finished. The bride goes last, closest to the ceremony. Start times before 7 AM are never a problem; they simply carry a $50 early-start fee.
Bradenton Questions, Answered
- Do you travel to Bradenton?
- Yes: your venue, home or hotel, anywhere in and around Bradenton.
- What if our ceremony is outdoors in summer?
- It is built for that. The application is long-wear and meant to last the day and photograph, and every bridal makeup booking includes a touch-up kit to carry with you.
- How do I hold my date?
- A non-refundable deposit confirms it: 40% of the services subtotal, or 30% once the subtotal reaches $900. The balance is due on the day, before services begin.
