Such a delight to start the year off with a wedding as charming and as lovely as this! Today’s couple chose the Seven Stars Resort, on the Caribbean island of Turks and Caicos for their celebration. Soft, pastel hues set a romantic tone, while beach-friendly details, such as lanterns and message-in-a-bottle escort cards, added a dose of whimsy to the elegant affair. Chic and minimal touches for the ceremony and reception kept the idyllic, tropical setting center stage and the results -quite simply put-are nothing short of breathtaking, especially with fine art photographer Sarah Joelle behind the lens!

From Sarah Joelle Photography: For New Yorkers, John and Dina, life is all about the experiences, and they wanted their wedding day to be one of them. They had visited the Turks & Caicos Islands together and thought that it would be the perfect place for their destination wedding experience. Dina imagined a soft, romantic wedding inspired by the soft, pink colors of the sunsets in Turks & Caicos. She also wanted it to capture their playful personalities, and happiness together.
Turks and Caicos is a stunning location for a destination wedding. John and Dina chose the luxurious Seven Stars Resort in Grace Bay, Providenciales for their ceremony and reception. Providenciales is an island in the northwest part of the Turks and Caicos Islands. “Provo”as it is commonly called is know for the miles of pristine, white sand beaches, sparkling turquoise waters, and upscale resorts.
It was an intimate wedding with about 30 guests. The ceremony was on the beach right before sunset and then the guests moved to the West Deck overlooking the ocean for dinner and dancing as the sky turned the prettiest shades.
The wedding coordinator, Laura Staniforth, was absolutely amazing and kept the day running smoothly. It is so important to have a great planner that is local to help when planning a destination wedding where you can’t be there to make sure that everything gets taken care of!
