Jade & Jimmy’s Beautiful Islamorada Wedding at La Jolla Resort

Jade and Jimmy hosted a breathtaking Islamorada wedding at La Jolla Resort, inviting 70 of their closest family and friends to celebrate in the Florida Keys. Guests stayed onsite for the weekend and enjoyed the resort’s incredible amenities, ocean views, and relaxed tropical setting. With perfect weather, it was truly the ideal destination wedding experience.

The couple chose our Everglades All-Inclusive Wedding Package, pairing it with Jade’s vision of a white tropical theme accented with pampas grass, natural textures, and timeless, minimal details throughout the day.

Ceremony – A Waterfront “I Do” Moment

For the ceremony, Jade wanted something meaningful and immersive. The wedding party walked down the aisle and then took their seats in the front rows so they could be fully present for the ceremony—such a heartfelt touch!

Ceremony décor included:

• Brown wooden arbor with champagne draping and floral accents

• Gold Chiavari chairs dressed with florals

• Gold lanterns lining the aisle

• Beautiful waterfront backdrop at La Jolla Resort

Cocktail Hour – Tropical Elegance

After exchanging vows, guests transitioned into a soft, elegant cocktail hour featuring champagne linens and orchid centerpieces, an upgrade Jade added to personalize her décor.

Passed appetizers included:

• Conch fritters

• Jamaican Jerk chicken

• Mini crab cakes

While guests mingled, Jade and Jimmy captured stunning photos around the resort with Pure Zeal Photography.

Dinner & Reception – Candlelit Romance by the Ocean

Dinner featured a delicious Florida Keys–influenced menu with:

• Prime rib

• Seafood paella

• Island Tropical Salad

• Seasonal vegetables

• Mashed potatoes

The reception design highlighted a mix of round white-linen tables and farmhouse tables styled with brown milk-glass florals, hints of pampas grass, and bamboo chairs. Jade also envisioned a dramatic, candle-heavy sweetheart table—and the glowing layers of candlelight with the ocean in the backdrop created a truly magical setting.

Dancing Under the Stars

Once dinner wrapped up, DJ Aries Entertainment opened the dance floor. Guests danced under amber bistro lighting, soft ocean breezes, and warm candlelight spread throughout the reception space.

Dessert featured mini Key Lime tarts, followed by late-night pizza to fuel the party. The evening ended with a heartfelt surprise Happy Birthday to Jade’s dad—a special memory the family will cherish forever..

 I also want to give a special shoutout to Jade’s brother, truly one of the best MOHs I’ve ever met!
