The wedding palette was sandy tans, lemongrass greens, cool greys, and all shades of blue, from aqua to navy.

The design inspiration was a fresh fun poolside event with a clean, crisp palette and a lean into the couple’s love of trail running.

From the bride… He organized an evening on the beach for us when we were visiting my family on Sanibel for the holidays. My sisters followed closely behind with a camera to capture the moment, and my parents (and grandma) snuck out of work early to make it to the beach in time. They all hid on the path and in the bushes until the big moment as the sun was going down and then when we walked back we saw everyone cheering with champagne to toast! I did not know it was coming, but we had many conversations in the months leading up to where Griffin did a great job throwing me off the scent.

From planner… The couple opted for stations of various genres, from pasta to seafood. Everything was offered on small plates so guests could try it all. The menus were designed as a map of the pool deck, noting each station and table grouping. The groupings of tables were each named after one of the couple’s favorite trails they ran together.

From planner… The original venue was supposed to be South Seas resort, but it was lost in Hurricane Ian, so we had to pivot with only two months to find a new venue. Due to the popularity of the date, venue availability was hard to find. We ended up moving to the clubhouse where the bride’s parents live. We needed to create an event that looked nothing like the many events the couple had attended over the years. The first change would be to ignore the traditional ceremony setup created by the club, and instead, we created a circular ceremony with the guests surrounding the couple. We didn’t want a wedding that felt at all like a ballroom, so we decided to clear the pool deck and host dinner surrounding the pool to bring in the water element that we missed due to the venue change. We wanted all the guests to have a great view of the entertainment, so the only central space was the center of the pool. We brought in Party Time Rentals and Special Events to create a platform over the pool, and we set up a white piano shell in a bed of flowers. The ballroom was transformed into a lounge where our 8-piece band welcomed the guests into the first dance with a custom-wrapped floral dancefloor matching the linens from BBJ Linen | La Tavola Linen.
From photographer, Hunter Ryan Photo… The tables featured pale blue and white linens, overflowing white floral centerpieces, and candles, making the dinner transition from daylight to twilight magical on the pool deck. A custom trellis was built above the head table – and was covered in greenery featuring hanging lanterns.

From planner… The wedding cake was the palest of blues with delicate white florals nestled in a round of bouquets.

The pianist in the pool was definitely the show-stopping WOW moment for guests. It provided all the ambiance of a perfect poolside dinner party.
