Our featured wedding this week comes from Lauren Katulak and James Sorrentino, a couple from Greenwood Lake, New York. When planning their wedding, they wanted to find a tropical location with a short flight time from NY, as well as classy, upscale digs. They fell in love with One&Only Ocean Club on Paradise Island in the Bahamas, and it's easy to see why. The resort is a haven for celebrities and jetsetters, and the picturesque grounds were the backdrop of the James Bond movie Casino Royale. Lauren and James said their I do's on a veranda overlooking the ocean in front of 50 guests. The reception was held poolside and ended with a grand fireworks display and the bridal party taking the plunge — fully clothed — into the pool. How fun!I love the classic elegance of this wedding — everything coordinated beautifully. Lauren chose a muted color palette with white and cream roses, peonies and hydrangeas, plus a hint of pale pink in the roses and bridesmaids’ dresses. The centerpieces were a mixture of short, square vases filled with the same flowers, and tall vases holding branches decorated with orchids and hanging candles. The three-tiered cake was made by Sylvia Weinstock (yum!) and accented with realistic-looking sugar flowers.
