The Bridal Party Looks

“After searching for the perfect dress for all of my bridesmaids, I decided to design them myself,” says Ranielle. She shared sketches of the tea-length dresses with each of her attendants and let them choose their favorite bodice style. Ranielle's turquoise silk sashes on the bridesmaid dresses picked up the color of the water, as did the matching teal and turquoise–striped ties worn by the groomsmen. Ranielle wanted the flowers to be somewhat untraditional, so rather than carry a bouquet, each bridesmaid wore a floral bracelet of coral flowers and green orchids and carried a turquoise fan.
