Real Weddings: Lee + Yutaka 8.16.08

Welcome to EAD Weddings! We are so excited to have you here. If you are a new visitor, we'd love for you to subscribe to our RSS feed. Thanks for visiting and we hope you come back soon!

Shannon Steeves returns to EAD today with a very unique wedding!  Lee and Yutaka were married in Sarasota, FL at the Ritz Carlton Beach Club.  Yutaka is an elite-level tennis trainer (he works with Maria Sharapova!) and Lee is an international tennis coach for up and coming teen athletes!

The Jewish star on her bouquet belonged to her mother and the beautiful Mikimoto pearls Lee wore were a gift from Yutaka’s parents.

Their wedding incorporated many cultural elements, including a Jewish prayer, a Buddhist prayer, and a Japanese tea ceremony!

The amazing reception included an ice saki bar, a sushi chef, and chopstick favors.  Nicole Kaney did a fabulous job coordinating all of the details of this event!

Shannon, thank you so much for sharing this wedding with us!  More details and photos can be found on Shannon’s blog {here}, {here} and {here}.
