AN ELEVATED OCEANFRONT WEDDING AT CHEECA LODGE RESORT
Shany and Brian celebrated their wedding at the iconic Cheeca Lodge Resort & Spa in Islamorada, one of the most beautiful oceanfront wedding venues in the Florida Keys. Surrounded by their closest family and friends, the couple exchanged vows beneath a beautifully designed chuppah overlooking the ocean, followed by an unforgettable waterfront celebration.
One of my favorite parts of planning and designing Shany and Brian's wedding was how intentional they wanted every detail to be. From their meaningful Jewish wedding ceremony, led by Rabbi Iosi Benchimol and accompanied by Cantor Mark Levine, to a tropical-inspired cocktail hour at Cheeca Lodge's Spa Island, every part of the celebration was thoughtfully planned to reflect their personalities and the experience they wanted to share with their guests.
What made this wedding even more special was that we planned the entire celebration while Shany and Brian were expecting their first baby! It was such an exciting chapter in their lives, and being part of it made the planning process even more memorable.
For the wedding design, we wanted to create a romantic, elevated atmosphere that complemented the natural beauty of Islamorada. We incorporated lush tropical florals, soft colors, organic textures, and thoughtful details that blended beautifully with Cheeca Lodge's oceanfront setting. The idea was to embrace the surroundings while creating a wedding that felt sophisticated, personal, and unique to the couple.
As the celebration continued into the evening, live electric violin and saxophone performances brought an incredible energy to the reception. Between the music, the beautiful weather, and the waterfront atmosphere, everything came together for a truly memorable Florida Keys destination wedding.
Planned and designed by Little Miss Planner, this Cheeca Lodge wedding was also featured in Destination I Do. You can explore more of Shany and Brian's celebration in the full publication: Intimate Islamorada Destination Wedding in the Florida Keys
