A Fireworks Themed Wedding at the LaPlaya Beach and Golf Resort in Naples, Florida

Sarah Thornhill (33 and a college representative for FIDM) and Ryan Studzinski (37 and a real estate developer) first met on a blind date and quickly knew there was something special between them. “It was instant fireworks!” says Sarah. Ryan proposed two years later while they were at a vineyard on the Fourth of July. “We had a magical day and the night concluded with Fireworks!” says Sarah. They were wed in Naples, Florida. The couple used white, black and metallic hues to decorate their wedding under a “fireworks forever” theme. The wedding party dressed in formal black attire to match the color palette. Sarah’s bridesmaids wore black chiffon dress by Bill Levkoff dresses. Each carried a bouquet of white hydrangeas down the aisle. The groomsmen accented their tuxedos with fun socks in different colors. Sarah and Ryan had an indoor ceremony draped in pink lighting before moving onto the cocktail hour. Passed hors d'oeuvres as well as two signature cocktails: Naples Sunrise and Berry Nuptial Bubbles were available to their guests. The latter drink included sparkling wine with blueberries from Sarah’s father’s farm, Thornhill Farms. Their guests enjoyed a photo booth and music played by the band None Other during the night. “They were amazing and kept everyone dancing all night,” says Sarah. Her and Ryan ended the night with a firework exit.
