Kari & Jonathan in Fort Lauderdale, FL

The Bride Kari Benjamin (28 and an account executive) The Groom Jonathan Kurta (29 and a securities litigator) The Date March 19 To pull off their Florida nuptials while living in New York, Kari and Jonathan Kurta got help from Kari’s mom (who lives in the area) and the Ritz-Carlton’s coordinator. The ceremony and reception sites were filled with ivory and blush hydrangeas and garden roses, amber and white candles, and crystal accents for an ethereal, A Midsummer Night’s Dream feel. The timeless ivory and gold color palette was offset by taupe accents—like the sash of Kari’s gown.
