With its iconic white sand beaches and grassy courtyards, the Islander Resort was the perfect venue for Ashley and Will. The bride had a clear vision for her wedding: she wanted to blend the best of what the Florida Keys had to offer with the timeless Southern Charm of her childhood. We were in love from the first phone call!

The color palette was our starting point, with ocean blues, pale greens, and deep golds inspiring the wedding party colors, florals, and decor. We started with a beach wedding ceremony, placing the chairs in a large semi-circle design so everyone had a perfect view of the altar. We then transitioned guests seamlessly into the cocktail hour beneath the palm trees before welcoming them to the stunning tented wedding reception. Each table was adorned with palm leaves, and we even set up a cozy lounge outside the tent for guests to enjoy a quiet moment between dances. Their wedding embraced the comfortable feeling of home while maintaining the exotic excitement of being on vacation.
