MJ and Marshall traveled from California to Florida, making their way to Cheeca Lodge in Islamorada for a celebration filled with joy, laughter, and plenty of fun—and fun they certainly had.

And we can’t forget the unforgettable florals by Simple Florals. The perfect blend of whimsy, vibrant color, and modern minimalism brought every detail to life. From beginning to end, this wedding was absolute perfection.

Haley and Adrian’s Pierre’s Islamorada Celebration, Part II — Ceremony, Cocktail Hour, and some other goodies.

Set against the idyllic backdrop of Pierre’s in Islamorada, Haley and Adrian’s ceremony and cocktail hour featured tons of playful pops of color, vibrant patterned linens, and refined details that brought effortless tropical elegance to each and every part of their wedding day celebration.

This was one thousand percent color done right!
