It was the most perfect sunny day overlooking the Atlantic Ocean. The ceremony and reception was held at B Ocean Hotel, Penthouse floor at one of the most modish wedding venues among Fort Lauderdale hotels. Featuring a chic, modern design, this wedding was filled with so many personal touches by this adorable pair and their loving families.

As for the bridal party, the bride had all of her bridesmaids choose their own dress and design, which all were custom designed and fit all her ladies perfectly. 

 

The groomsmen were dressed to the “T” in their grey suits accented with bright, colorful and fun socks!
