And The Beautiful Bride Wore White - A Key West Florida Beach Wedding Story

By Peter Estenoz


This Florida wedding story starts on a tranquil beach in the Keys, framed by the stunning ocean waters. Imagine caressing winds, soothing warm sands and the passionate sound of waves breaking on the shore.

Dream of an enchanting woman, robed in a hand-made gown of white cotton, dancing happily and unshod on the sands to join her spouse to be. Her gown is neither sumptuous nor even traditional, but is appropriate to the woman who is wearing it. As she floats on the sand, soft wind blows through her long loose hair and the soft fabric of her bridal dress, adding a mystical sensation to the overall picture. Her shoeless feet suggest a touch of whimsicality, but then, why wear shoes when walking on warm beach sands?

Young attendants, dressed in smaller variations on the wedding gown escort her down the sand. They carry baskets decorated with ocean shells and resplendent with local flora. Echoing the style the lovely young celebrant, they are also shoeless.

The couple meets under an archway of sea shells, white ribbons and woven rattan, enhanced with local flowers and greenery. The gentle breezes bring the ribbons to life and they wave gently in the air. The endless beach sands and ocean provide a feeling of unlimited openness.

Wedding guests are sheltered from the sun by a sparkling white canopy, which is also strung with sea shells and fluttering ribbons, echoing the decoration on the archway under which the happy couple stand. Bright local flowers are also displayed in white baskets interspersed under the canopy. The guests also are bare-footed, in keeping with the theme set by the bride. Many are dressed in attire which echoes the theme of lightness and festive comfort.

The wedding ceremony is simple, dream-like and beautiful. The couple is radiant in their happiness and their joy spreads to the wedding guests. After vows are spoken, and rings are exchanged, the wedding party and their guests move to a shaded pavilion, where a dance floor, musicians and meal await all.

Musical entertainment starts as the happy group approaches. The joyous couple take their first dance as newlyweds. In her simple and lovely gown and unshod feet, the bride is a vision of satisfaction as she dances in her partner's arms. Next up is a dance with her young attendants, who form an adorable and jubilant circle around her and create more enchantment, in their coordinated dresses and unshod feet. Fitting magic is created on a magical day
