The butterfly motif woven throughout the wedding details held deep significance as a tribute to the bride’s late sister, who had recently passed. Butterflies were incorporated thoughtfully into the theme, symbolizing transformation, remembrance, and the connection they shared. In a particularly emotional moment during the couple's portraits, they walked together to the butterfly garden on the Gulf Stream Golf Club property, a serene spot where they could pause and reflect. Surrounded by fluttering butterflies, it became a poignant and intimate moment, offering a quiet sense of connection to her sister’s memory amidst the celebration. The inclusion of butterflies throughout the wedding wasn’t just a design choice—it was a deeply personal and heartfelt reminder of love, loss, and the spirit of her sister watching over them on their special day. The bride even had a cutout from her mother's dress sown into her wedding dress as a butterfly. This was a surprise from the bride to her family.
The bride was walked down the aisle by her brother.
