A Summer Wedding at the Ritz-Carlton Orlando, Grande Lakes in Orlando, Florida
After 10 years of dating, Charlene LePane (42 and a physician) and Suzy Espinosa (45 and a regulatory professional) said “I do” at their elegant wedding with a glamorous style at the contemporary Ritz-Carlton Orlando, Grande Lakes in Orlando, Florida. Many details reflected the couple's personal style: their wraparound processional, their favorite tropical flowers in the bridesmaid bouquets, the bold orchid centerpieces. Instead of walking down the aisle, both women walking around their ceremony to a piano version of “Without You” by David Guetta featuring Usher. Castaldo Studio captured it all on camera. The song brought out a custom flair, while the nontraditional walk let them take in the moment. Instead of keeping to the Ritz-Carlton Orlando, Grande Lakes's white decor, the couple lined every part of their ceremony with bold flowers. Bridesmaids held whimsical arrangements of red orange lilies, proteas, lisianthus and orchids. Since Charlene and Suzy keep an orchid garden at home, the flowers also popped up in their centerpieces. Each tall arrangement at their ballroom reception, coordinated by Party With Bells On, overflowed with white, yellow or orange orchids from tall crystal vases. “The Ritz-Carlton Orlando, Grande Lakes really reflects what we wanted our wedding to be like: elegant and timeless with a definite taste of Florida,” Suzy says.
