A Tropical February Wedding in the Bahamas
Haley and Kyle’s late February wedding at February Point in Exuma, Bahamas was absolutely amazing to be a part of!
With Kelly on photography, it was a huge honor to also be able to have KH Collective capture the video for them throughout the weekend.
Their love for each other and for the tropics was undeniable, and they incorporated special touches all throughout the weekend, making things extra memorable for both themselves and their guests.
As far as design goes, Haley told us that “Exuma’s beauty speaks for itself, and I didn’t want to attempt to overdo anything on the decor. We went with greenery and flowers native to Exuma (Bougainvillea specifically), and added touches of “sea life” – think conch shells, starfish, etc. I stuck to colors found around the island – blues, pinks, greens and neutrals – so that it would blend seamlessly. Bridesmaids all wore sunset colors, my favorite time of day down there. And the groomsmen went neutral so Kyle’s blue suit stood out!”
When it came to her dress and overall wedding day looks, this gorgeous bride knew exactly what she wanted! “I got my wedding gown from a boutique in Darien, CT during a Mira Zwillinger trunk show. I knew I wanted a Mira dress, and knew right away when I put it on that it was the one! For my second look, I changed into my mom’s wedding dress that I had altered into a party piece. It was the perfect nod to her and such a special thing for me. I kept jewelry light aside from simple pearl and gold drop earrings that my mom gave to me, and then added her pearl necklace for my second look! Kyle’s blue linen suit was my something blue.”
And her favorite details spoke for themselves: “We used a starfish as our motif for the weekend, which was a nod to the abundance of them in Exuma and also they symbolize renewal, which is how it feels starting this new life with each other! I also loved that we really focused on music. Everyone was on the dance floor all night and didnt want to leave. Our goal for the weekend was to make it a party, and I think we succeeded!”
Kind Words for KHP and KH Collective
“We couldn’t pick just one thing. Kelly and her team were truly better than we could have imagined and felt like part of the family! Their energy is infectious always, and their creativity and talent are unmatched. They are also incredibly efficient, which was super important to us. We could not recommend them more.”
