Erin and Chris live in New York City, but planned a magnificent destination wedding at The Breakers in Palm Beach. It was not only a destination wedding for them, but every single one of their guests also traveled to this elegant event. Most guests traveled from Chicago (Erin’s home town), Boston (Chris’s home town) and New York (where they currently live). The bride and groom said that since the guests all hailed from colder climates, they were very excited to come to a South Florida wedding and catch some sunshine as well!
As a South Florida wedding photographer, I see many destination weddings, but this one really played up the “Florida” feel with a lemon/citrus theme. The bridesmaids wore different lemon colored dresses by Melissa Sweet and the flower arrangements were created with yellow tulips, calla lilies. The centerpieces for the cocktail hour were mini lemon trees. There was even a signature drink – a lemon flavored martini!
This wedding was quite a family affair! Both the bride and groom come from large families (5 kids each!), so all of their siblings were in the wedding party along with several close friends. Erin’s 3 adorable nephews were the ring bearers.
Erin looked radiant in an Amsale gown and Stuart Weitzman shoes. Chris and Erin brought in an entire 15 piece band from New York. The Eturnity Band made their first appearance at The Breakers and were an absolute hit! Every detail of this wedding was planned beautifully and Kym Bichon of Weddings by The Breakers was instrumental in pulling it all off without a hitch.
As a Palm Beach wedding Photographer, I had a wonderful time photographing this wedding and Erin and Chris were terrific subjects! I photograph many destination weddings at The Breakers and each one is very different and very special. Many thanks to Erin and Chris and to Kym for an amazing evening!
