From the moment guests arrived, it was clear this wasn’t just a casual night-before get-together it was a curated experience full of intentional beauty, personal touches, and elevated tropical style.

Alex’s welcome-night look was unforgettable: a strapless white high-low dress with intricate floral appliqués and a cascading train. The drama of the ruffles, balanced by the sleek neckline and modern silhouette, was effortlessly bridal without trying too hard. Her acrylic clutch that read “I Do!” added the perfect touch of fun and flair.

Luke’s look was coastal-cool perfection: ivory pants, loafers embroidered with palm trees, and a light blue blazer that popped against the greenery and complemented Alex beautifully. Together, they looked like they’d stepped straight out of The Piña Colada Song — effortlessly stylish, and completely in sync with the tropical magic of the night.

The welcome soirée was held at a chic oceanside venue, seamlessly blending clean modern lines with organic, tropical touches. Long tables dressed in crisp white linens were accented with tall glass vases holding oversized green leaves, while rows of glowing candles flickered gently along the center, creating a serene and sophisticated ambiance.

As the sun dipped below the horizon, guests were greeted by an artfully arranged buffet spread, featuring a menu curated to match the beachy elegance of the evening. Twinkling lights above and flickering lanterns on tables added warmth as night fell, and laughter echoed against the soundtrack of clinking glasses and live entertainment.
