Florida Keys Styled Shoot
White sandy beach, palm trees all around, a warm ocean breeze blowing through your hair, and an ice-cold margarita in your hand. Sound Picturesque? We think so! When photographer friend Courtney Leigh Photo asked us to join her on a Florida Keys Styled Wedding Shoot we couldn’t say no! From Miami fashion vibes to Caribbean mangroves-inspired floral by Cali and Bloom, this styled beach wedding turned out especially breathtaking and left us with total wedding inspiration!
Destination weddings are an epic way to add style and sophistication to any big day, and the possibilities are endless for making your big day fabulous. What could be better than a wedding you might ask? A wedding and a vacation all at once! Talk about stress-free living on your wedding day! With more and more brides and grooms opting for smaller elopements, destination weddings are the perfect way to pack a big punch, while still maintaining intimacy. Or if you’re the type of bride to go big or go home, flying off to a tropical paradise is about as 5-star as it gets! So kick your feet up and scroll away through this beach wedding editorial, it will leave you saying “ I Do “ to a beach wedding and leave you ready to board a plane for Palm Beach!

When looking for table top décor for your wedding, Anthropologie and Potterybarn are excellent resources to purchase instead of renting. The straw details on the cups along with the woven straw chargers adds the perfect amount of beach sophistication to any island wedding.

One of the perfect ways to re-use an arch is at your sweet heart table! Two of the ceremony arch pieces were re-purposed for the reception, which is a great way to save some money while making your reception more grand!

Nested in the Florida Mangroves, this beautiful wedding ceremony site served as the perfect backdrop for this styled shoot. Even though beach weddings are typically staged on the shore, finding sandy alternatives like this one can be just as aesthetic and even more beautiful!

We mentioned before that this shoot had a touch of Miami vibes and this photo of @baileymccrackin is here to prove that! The hair scarf, the glasses is the perfect retro Vogue meets Miami Vice. When taking bridal portraits, gone are the days of just wearing your wedding dress! This white bikini adds the perfect splash of bridal for your Instagram feed.

Has a bouquet ever made you want to mix up a peach margarita before? This stunning wedding bouquet created by Cali and Bloom was the most stunning ensemble for this beachy shoot and we can’t get enough! Paired with a peachy ruffled headband from Anthropologie really accented the warm dewy makeup by Glow and Grace Artistry.
