A white archway adorned with pink and white tulle, English ivy, wisteria and assorted spring blooms provided a backdrop for the nuptials. Arrangements of fern, palm grass and stargazer lilies were placed on either side of the arch. Columns topped with arrangements of ferns, ivy and palm grass marked the aisle for the processional.
The barefoot bride was escorted down the beach by her father, and was attired in a pearl colored mock two-pieced gown with a sculptured strapless neckline. Her fitted skirt held a sweeping train. She carried a bouquet of varying shades of pink stargazer lilies. A single hibiscus blossom adorned her hair.
