And The Beautiful Bride Wore White - A Key West Florida Beach Wedding Story

By Peter Estenoz


This Key West Florida wedding story begins on a gorgeous beach framed by the blue waters found throughout the Keys. Imagine gentle winds, soft sands and the sweet music of the waves as they break on the shore.

Think about a stunning young woman, attired in a dress of simple cotton, walking regally and shoeless down the beach toward her intended spouse. Her gown is not elaborate, and is also nontraditional, but is befitting of the setting. As she dances down the sand, soft breezes blow through the fabric of her gown and her hair, adding a fantasy element to the scene. Her lack of shoes adds a touch of whimsy. After all, who would wear shoes at the beach?

Tiny young friends, clothed in smaller versions of the wedding dress, escort her along the the way. They bear baskets of local flora, which are decorated with seashells. Following the standard set by the bride, their feet are also shoeless.

The couple stand under a structure composed from beach shells, white streamers and rattan basketry, enhanced with bouquets. Gentle ocean breezes bring life to the streamers as they waft in the breeze. The plentiful warm sand and soothing waters create an atmosphere of complete relaxation.

Guests are shielded from the sun by a white awning, which is also decorated with beach shells and fluttering white streamers, repeating the decorations used on the structure under which the couple stand. Vividly colored flowers are also arranged in woven containers scattered throughout the area under and around the awning. Wedding guests are also shoeless, in accord with the standard set by the bridal party. Many guests are also dressed in clothing which reflects the motif of festive comfort and joy.

The wedding ceremony is magical and lovely. The couple shines in their joy, and their happiness inspires the guests. Once the ceremony is concluded, the celebration is moved to a pavilion, where a dance floor, music and meal await.

Music begins as the wedding party approaches and the couple move on to the dance floor for their first dance. The bride, in her floating gown and bare feet is a vision of joy and beauty as she dances in her partners arms. The second dance is with her tiny bridesmaids, who form a fairy circle with her and create more magic, dancing in their matching dresses and bare feet. A fittingly magical sight on a magical day!
