A Bright, Pink and Neutral Beach Wedding at the Ritz-Carlton, Naples in Naples, Florida

Inspired by a shipwreck and complete with a treasure chest, Jaime Martuscello (33 and a physical therapist) and Andy Martuscello’s (33 and in biotech) colorful wedding puts a fun twist on their beach theme. The couple started their day at the Ritz-Carlton, Naples in Naples, Florida, with a beach ceremony covered in bright and whimsical decor. The venue’s florist lined each row of white chairs with pink peonies, straw and even seashells as a grand chest covered with similar blooms and netting stood at the head of the aisle. Jaime made her entrance in a fitted white wedding dress by Monique Lhuillier with sheer Spanish tulle overlay and a short train. “The back of the dress was my favorite,” she says. More tulle fell over its open back for a soft, romantic touch. After Jaime and Andy said “I do,” the celebration continued with “Blue Wave” signature cocktails along the water and an indoor reception. Natural chandeliers of white orchids and branches were suspended over their family-style tables as white and pink blooms accented each place setting. Another detail we loved was the escort cards. The couple’s 40 guests found their names as the message-in-a-bottle on their dinnerware. All ended the night with dinner and a few dances to music from their DJ. Tonya Malay Photography captured every moment, below. Jaime shares a tip: “Wedding planning can be stressful at times. Remember it all works out in the end and will be the best day of your life.”
