Reception 1: Ocean views and pink hues

This stunning reception was held at Atlantis Paradise Island. The combination of white and blush florals and subtle touches of gold screams sophistication, not to mention the extra sparkles provided by the market lights and white draping. This already dreamy venue that offers a stunning view of the Bahamian waters, was completely transformed into a gorgeous fairy-tale.

Reception 2: Fifty shades of tropical

If there’s one place to have a tropical themed wedding reception, it would definitely be The Bahamas. Set in the lush surroundings at Ardastra Gardens, this reception was doused in beautiful bright flowers, and the combination of bold prints and African-inspired décor adds a layer of depth that makes this look absolutely perfect. The mix of unique textures and patterns produces an interesting look that completely draws you in

Reception 3: Royally yours

This reception was definitely designed for a night of royal romance. In addition to the gorgeous table decor and the gold details, you can’t help but swoon over these perfectly arranged flowers that offer not only height, but also a perfect flow and sparkle (Did you see those crystal beads?), helping all the colors and elements come together seamlessly. The candles add yet another romantic touch to an already sophisticated setup.

From the romantic look and feel created through this stunning decor, to the thought that went into every single detail, this wedding reception is one of absolute dreams. The lighting, including the sparkly chandeliers hanging from the ceiling, completely set the mood, while the soft, white florals add a touch of elegance. Talk about a dream come true.
