Kari and Ryan, two lovebirds who split their time between the vibrant cities of Chicago and Fort Lauderdale, envisioned a Riverside Hotel wedding that celebrated their deep affection for Florida. This venue perfectly encapsulated the charm and elegance they desired, allowing their dream to become a breathtaking reality.
Nestled in the heart of Downtown Fort Lauderdale, the Riverside Hotel provided a picturesque backdrop for their special day. The terrace, with its stunning views of the city they adore, set the stage for a celebration that was as beautiful as it was meaningful.
The Details of this Riverside Hotel Wedding
The wedding decor was a delightful blend of pinks and greens, reflecting the lush, tropical vibe of Florida. The table centerpieces were absolutely breathtaking, with vibrant blooms that added a touch of whimsy and romance to the already gorgeous setting. The combination of these colors against the classic architecture of the hotel created a truly enchanting atmosphere. One of our favorite decor elements was the gorgeous floral bird’s nest created for their ceremony. The beautiful blends of pinks and greens elevated the ceremony location to a luxurious space! We were so happy to repurpose this beautiful installment at their sweethearts table and allow its beauty to enhance the overall look and feel of the reception space.
Kari and Ryan’s wedding was a testament to their love for each other and for the state they call home part-time. Every detail, from the elegant table settings to the energetic live band, was a reflection of their personalities and their journey together. Guests were treated to an evening filled with joy, laughter, and heartfelt moments, all set against the stunning backdrop of the cityscape.
The terrace, overlooking the bustling city, offered a unique vantage point for both the cocktail hour and the reception, while the ceremony took place on a serene patio next to the New River. As the sun set, casting a golden glow over this Riverside Hotel wedding, it was clear that Kari and Ryan’s big day was not just an event, but a deeply personal celebration of their love story.
Their wedding at the Historic Riverside Hotel was more than just a union of two hearts; it was a beautiful homage to the place they hold dear. The mix of natural beauty and urban elegance made for an unforgettable day, one that Kari and Ryan, along with their guests, will cherish forever.
