Chicago locals Christian and Bryan had a destination intimate wedding in the Florida Keys. Bryan picked out everything from the vases to signs, and even the flowers while he was still in Chicago and had everything shipped to their wedding planner, Julia of Blue Water Weddings.

On the morning of the wedding, Bryan, Christian and a dozen of their friends got together and began arranging the flowers themselves. Julia and her team took the arrangements to the venue, where they created a simple but elegant beachside ceremony and reception party. The real stunner was the reception dining space they created for the couple and their guests. With tears, dancing, and tons of laughs, their wedding was one that everyone enjoyed and will remember. —from the photographer, Ivan Apfel Photography
