Real Weddings: Kimberly + Mark

I’m in love with all of the classic details from Kimberly and Mark’s Key Biscayne, Florida wedding, captured by the amazingly talented Maloman Photographers.  Kimberly’s Oscar de la Renta gown is absolutely to die for - and to pair it with purple suede pumps? Yes please!

… with the reception at the gorgeous Grand Bay Club

I adore ballroom and banquet room weddings.  There is something about the intimacy and ambiance of an indoor space – you can really set a mood.  Kimberly and Mark chose clusters of purple and yellow modern floral arrangements to accent the Grand Bay Club’s natural beauty.

Paired with classic striped cream linens and dark chivari chairs – the result is pure elegance.

Guests were invited to decorate post cards in lieu of a guest book, and were treated to milk and cookies!
