Bahamas Wedding by James Christianson Photographer

July 29th. 2011 by Aimée | Filed Under | 32 comments

This Bahamas wedding looks like it just sashayed off the pages of a fairytale. It’s all white decor is beyond gorgeous and the bride’s dress? Yup. That’s none other than Oscar De La Renta and it’s pretty amazing if you ask me! And don’t even get me started on the chuppah, cascading with hundreds, maybe even thousands of white, fluffy flowers. I think I’ve died and gone to all-white-wedding heaven! James Christianson was there to capture all pretty, little details and there’s so much more in the full gallery!

From the Bride…Bill Fulghum (our creative director, if you will) and I worked tirelessly, pouring over every detail to make sure that the light fixtures would be perfect, locating a white dance floor, designing the chuppah, coordinating stationary.  We were both incredibly detail oriented (maybe to a fault in my case).

Incents wafting as guests entered the garden; servers dressed in white glove attire stood in lines with trays of champagne as the guests entered; custom-made seat cushions softened the Philippe Starck ghost chairs we decided to use.  At first I was worried that the design would be limited by what we were able to procure on the island; however, Michelle White, owner of Floral Arts, really came through and was able to supply us with every last element we wanted.  She went to great lengths for us, whether shipping items from Miami, outright buying them for her company, she was really great to work with!

    OH. M. G. Are you kidding me? This is so stunning it took my breath away. That is the most beautiful wedding camopy I have ever laid eyes on. And the light boxes over the tables - genius and perfection. And the ghost chairs with all of this. Sick. And don't get me started on that dress. Gorgeous wedding.

  15. Kelly says:

    This is so beautiful and those flowers are amazing. The bride is glowing and stunning and it looks like the perfect day.

    To be honest, it's a bit unrealistic as this wedding was probably $200,000 and was definitely planned by a full blown wedding planner. I love your website for inspiration but i feel like it hits 2 opposite ends of the spectrum... either super wealthy people who can afford a full service expensive wedding planner and expert photographer to capture the details OR a low budget full DIY wedding which requires months of time. Both of these are not feasible for the average bride who is strapped for time and doesn't have a blowout budget.

  16. JHBride says:

    Absolutely adore the floral "curtains" at the alter. The frothy bridesmaid dresses are perfect as well!

    I agree with Kelly. While we can still find inspiration from such a well designed wedding it would be a bit unrealistic to believe the average bride could relate to white gloved servers and such decadent florals. Unless you used silk flowers (gag) it would be a little tough to recreate this look with an average budget.

  17. Jessica says:

    Gorgeous dress! And that setting is to die for!

  18. Amanda says:
