A Traditional Wedding at The Naples Beach Hotel and Golf Club in Naples, Florida
Caroline Humphreville (25 and a physical therapist) and Jeffrey Galati (24 and in finance) took college pride to a whole new level and infused their traditional wedding with the University of Alabama’s crimson color. Tonya Malay Photography captured every moment as the couple started their day with a ceremony at their church. Botanicals on the Gulf added two classic arrangements of white hydrangeas and greenery along the altar space, while the bold crimson was tied into the wedding party's looks. Each bridesmaid entered the service in a short red dress, and the groomsmen joined them with red vests under their black tuxedos. The team at Loretta Bridal Boutique helped Caroline stand out in an ivory wedding dress by Maggie Sottero. The mermaid cut needed little embellishment and was accented with only a short train and beaded belt. After the couple exchanged vows, they celebrated into the night with a simple reception at The Naples Beach Hotel and Golf Club. Guests were treated to a “Crimson Tide” pomegranate martini as they took their seats among round tables accented with orchids. For a fun twist, the table numbers and wedding cake matched the centerpieces. The venue’s pastry chef baked a three-tier confection covered in white and blush orchids and placed tea light candles around the base. “The best part was our band, The Brett Foreman Band,” says Caroline. They kept the guests on the dance floor before heading home with a fun starfish ornament wedding favor.
