The Ceremony

One hundred and ten guests joined the couple for a romantic ceremony on the Ocean Terrace of the hotel; Sarah and Greg exchanged vows as the sun set over the water. (Afterward, with the light fading fast, the photographer worked quickly to capture a glorious pink sky in the background of their formal photos.) With the hotel's natural ocean atmosphere and inviting shades of beige and sand, Sarah felt that very little decoration was needed. On the altar sat two large glass hurricane lanterns, each filled with sand, seashells, and an ivory pillar candle. For the reception, family and friends were invited to enjoy cocktails -- mai tais included -- to the sounds of reggae music. Guests found their seating assignments atop two platters filled with sand, and escort cards were accented with ocean-blue raffia and sand dollars.
