Marita and Neil’s tropical destination wedding at Casa Ybel Resort on Sanibel Island was cheerfully bright with bright island inspired colors.

Just add two people in love and some of their closest family and friends and you’ve got the recipe for the ultimate beach wedding.

There are few things we love more at Casa Ybel Resort than beach weddings that sparkle. Taryn and David’s Sanibel Island wedding was romantic from the white sand ceremony to the dazzling blush reception overlooking the ocean. While romance was already in the air, the shimmer and shine of it all brought smiles to all who saw.

Shawn and Anthony had their priorities straight when they tied the knot at Casa Ybel Resort on Sanibel Island, FL – Each Other + Fun = Happy Wedding Day. We love these photos of their back lawn wedding ceremony that seem to really capture the spirit of Shawn and Anthony. Just the two of them, laughing together on a grassy lawn overlooking the ocean – how could it get any better? Answer: a motorcycle. A motorcycle with a sidecar, to be exact!

Sanibel Island destination wedding photography

Laura and David had their intimate wedding on Sanibel Island June 23 at a secluded beach. They were joined by their parents for this intimate destination wedding. After the ceremony they returned to the Thistle Lodge on Sanibel for a celebration dinner. Thistle Lodge is an award winning restaurant that has been on Sanibel Island for many years. Thistle Lodge is a part of the Casa Ybel Resort. This is a great venue for a destination wedding. In my twenty years as a Sanibel photographer, I have photographed many weddings here. Some of the beach weddings are intimate with just a bride and groom and maybe some friends. The Thistle Lodge Restaurant can accomodate weddings of over one hundred guests. With a wedding ceremony on the beach, guests will just walk less than a minute to be in the restaurant. Thistle Lodge has amazing landscaping and unique, colorful Florida plants and trees. The wedding guests can stay at the resort interval time share units. The wedding photography can start with pictures on the green lawn then a quick walk to the beach for the ceremony. After the ceremony we take some family photographs. While we do this, the guests will usually walk the beach looking for seashells. As the whole world knows, Sanibel Island is famous for shelling!

Sanibel Island Wedding Planner and Officiant

Patricia Slater, a Sanibel and Fort Myers area wedding officiant for over 30 years, performed the sunset ceremony. Patricia, a Sanibel Island resident, provided the flowers for this destination wedding. Patricia has been performing intimate wedding ceremonies on Sanibel Island and the Fort Myers area for over 30 years. Her services include providing the marriage license, working with the bride for salon appointments, choosing the wedding flowers, recommending and reserving hotel rooms, wedding celebration dinner reservations and any other wedding details that can use the experience, knowledge and 42 years as a Sanibel Island resident.

PUBLISHED! Colorful Florida Wedding At A Pop-Up Soda Shoppe – Sanibel Island Styled Shoot

Posted on May 14, 2015 by Admin

We are so excited to share Part 2 of the Styled Shoot from CocoLuna Events that was published on StoryboardWedding.com. If you missed Part 1 – view it here.

The following is reposted from StoryboardWedding.com:

Colorful Florida Wedding At A Pop-Up Soda Shoppe

Day 2 of our two part series from the creative team of Florida wedding vendors turns up the dial in such a joyful way! If you missed Day 1, be sure to check it out here! Inspired by the rich vibrant hues in Connie Duglin Linens swatch book, the team brought to life a rainbow inspired palette of turquoise, yellow & fuchsia as imagined into a 1940′s style pop up soda shoppe! The beauty to this playful façade, handcrafted by Florida wedding planner CocoLuna Events, is how wonderfully interactive that it is from the ability to nip behind and into the store window to the flower box out front filled with cascading greens by Floral Artistry. A sweetheart low boy table was erected out front for cocktails post ceremony, dressed in the bold linens from Connie Duglin’s collection while guests were served…. handcrafted sodas in matching hues of course! The rest is in the details from Anna & Kerry’s gorgeous retro prep style to their utterly unstoppable smiles & laughter. Sometimes such bold hues can be difficult to work with, but this imaginative crew crafted a uniquely whimsical & playful world that it is so hard not to get swept right along with this sweet little Florida wedding!
