Wedding in the Keys

WOW, WOW, WOW, What a spectacular wedding this was for Kelsey and Randy. The couple really wanted a location that was laid back, comfortable and relaxing, but with elegance and class. Pierre’s Restaurant in Islamorada fit the bill.

Pre-ceremony photos were taken at a local beach house that the couple rented for the week. Island Villa Properties in Islamorada provided rental assistance and were a pleasure to work with.

The ceremony was picture perfect flanked under that famous palm tree along with 2 doctored up banana palms. Using Pierre’s banana palm trees, I brought in tons and tons of yellow and orange mokara orchids to fill the baskets up at the base of the palms.

Not much decor is required in the Pierre’s dining room, so we went with cylinder vases, orchids, floating candles and seaglass. The bride found some super cool glass urchin vases which polished off the centerpieces.

The bride’s love of orchids lead to this beautiful bouquet of phalenopsis orchids. She was also a lover of succulents, so I brought those in via the grooms boutonniere attached to a piece of sea fan.

Placecards were inserted into sea urchin shells, which coordinated with the menus and invitations.

I had so much fun planning with this couple. All those little unique details that screamed their personalities came together beautifully. I wish them a lifetime of love, happiness and health.

Hanging Wedding Initials

My client really wanted a hanging initial for her beach wedding, but did not have time to make one. So, I am surprising her with it!

Since Sea Urchins are the theme of the wedding, I made this letter J out of 4 different types of Urchins. I think it will look great hanging at the reception, and afterwards, she can hang it on her front door at home for permanent enjoyment.

This hanging initial can be done with any type of sea shell, dried or fresh flowers. You can do both initials for the bride and groom, or even your monogram. A little creatitvity and a bit of time is all it takes!

I can’t wait for her to see it!!

New Wedding Shoes

Next to your wedding gown, shoes play the second most important role in your wedding day attire. You want to look beautiful yet be comfortable throughout your day. Be sure to select a shoe that fits the style of your gown, and bring it to your first fitting. The seamstress will hem your dress according to the height of your heel. If you are wearing a casual gown, select a flat shoe, a low heeled shoe or a sandal. Stilettos, pumps or any high heel will compliment your formal gown. Peep toe pumps are one of the hottest trends, but blister beware. If you are not accustomed to wearing high heels, choose a mid sized heel and be sure to break them in prior to your wedding day.

Give your self the best of both worlds by wearing that sexy heel during your ceremony, photos and first dance, then kick them off and slip on something that suits your personality while giving you comfort. Many brides today are wearing flip flops (with a bit of bling) during the reception – typically your dress is long enough to conceal them, so who cares? Your feet sure will!
