A Beach-Themed Wedding at Jupiter Beach Resort and Spa in Jupiter, Florida

While Lauren Bodner (26 and a radiology technologist) and Kevin Maloney (28 and a firefighter) share a love for the beach, their wedding was based off the quote "love anchors the soul," which made the day that much sweeter. “Anchors were the main focus of our wedding,” Lauren says. “Once we had anchors, everything else that was beach-themed just fell perfectly into place.” Poirier Wedding Photography captured each blue, mint and neutral detail as the couple said “I do” in a waterfront ceremony and ended the night with a dance under aqua uplighting. Simply Flowers also helped to add Lauren’s favorite color into the day. Each bridesmaid carried a bright yellow bouquet of roses and white hydrangea accents, the same flowers were used on the couple’s simple wedding arch. Even Lauren and Kevin’s “ring security” wore a large yellow rose boutonniere! A touch of blue was added to the reception with their centerpieces. Blue stones filled each floating candle decoration as white delphiniums and a wooden frame served as the base. With brighter hues covering their reception, Lauren and Kevin chose a neutral wedding cake. Cake and Candy Designs by Mary Lou covered the four-tier square and round confection with a cascading piped design as white rope, starfish and coral accented each tier to match their theme. Lauren also shares a tip: “Things may go wrong, but nothing will ruin the day you marry your best friend. Stay focused on the true meaning behind all the work, and never stop loving.”
