Islamorada, FL

Ashley & Mark’s Destination Wedding

THE STORY

Ashley and Mark thought long and hard about where they wanted to say I do. They weighed every option, explored every possibility, and the moment they saw Cheeca Lodge in Islamorada, the decision was made. No further discussion needed.

For us, this one was personal in the best possible way. Not only have we known Ashley since she was a kid, but some of our closest family were in attendance as well. And having planned our own wedding in Key West, we already knew exactly who the best vendors in the Keys were, which made the entire process feel effortless and familiar.

The heat was unlike anything we had worked in before, but the beauty more than made up for it. Toes in the sand, an ocean breeze, tropical flowers everywhere, dancing under the stars, and details so carefully chosen they looked straight out of a beach magazine. Ashley knew exactly what she wanted and she was determined to have every single piece of it. We love a bride like that. Pure paradise from start to finish.

THE VISION

Ashley's vision was clear, specific, and completely beautiful. Soft sea foam green, colorful tropical florals, pampas grass, sea glass accents, strung lights overhead, and a checkered dance floor that anchored the entire aesthetic. Every single detail mattered to her and that is exactly the kind of client we thrive with.

The goal was never just a wedding. It was an experience. Loved ones gathered on a stunning Florida island for days of celebration, connection, and joy. The venue delivered. The vendors delivered. The details delivered. And Ashley got every single thing she had imagined.

When a client stops at nothing to bring their vision to life and trusts you to help make it happen, the result is always something special. This was no exception.
