When it comes to destination weddings, the LaPlaya Beach Resort in Naples, Florida is a fan favorite! They offer a top-notch experience for couples and their guests, and the setting is gorgeous too! Since Brooke & Michael are avid golfers, the perfectly timed romantic proposal took place on the 18^th green at Pebble Beach in Carmel by the Sea, California. You could see this influence throughout their wedding day. Check out more of design and style inspiration from this wedding at Style Me Pretty.

Their ornately decorated invitations from Luster Designs had tropical vibes with palm trees and the couple’s initials inspired by their destination wedding. The bride wore a sensational floral embroidered sweetheart neckline gown with bold shoes in pink with gold studs.

She carried a gorgeous bouquet overflowing with white and soft peach flowers and trailing white ribbons created by Isn’t She Lovely Florals. The groom and groomsmen were classically handsome in their black tuxedos. The bridal party wore dusty blue dresses in differing styles and carried white bouquets with greenery and ribbons also. The adorable flower girl was in a white dress to coordinate with the bride and wore a white floral headpiece with greenery.

The couple exchanged vows at the elaborate St Williams Catholic Church in Naples, decorated with white florals.

Blue and white tablecloths elegantly adorned the reception tables with blue dinnerware rimmed in gold, and two-tone silver and gold flatware. Guests had perfectly coordinated menus to match the invitations. Tabletops were abundantly covered with white and peach floral centerpieces with greenery.

Guests found their seating assignments on tall white boards decorated with climbing flowers and greenery. The dance floor was adorned with a palm tree and initial monogram, matching the theme. For dessert, guests were treated to a Sweetified decadent four-tier white buttercream cake with cascading white flowers. As the guests spent the evening dancing with music from Wiley Entertainment, they were served espresso martinis with monogramed name toppers. The bride changed into a short, sparkly white fringe reception dress and white tennis shoes perfect to wear to the reception after party as she celebrated her venture into becoming a Mrs.
