WINNER FOR BEST PHOTOGRAPHY AND DESIGN AMBASSADORS AT CHEECA LODGE AND SPA, Islamorada, Florida
Congratulations, OpticSam Photography, for BEST Photography
Congratulations, Blue Water Weddings and their team for Design Ambassador.
The Florida Keys is known for its beautiful sunsets and crystal clear waters; however, Islamorada’s tropical landscapes enhance its natural beauty. The Casitas at Cheeca Lodge provides a lush garden setting for this relaxed and elevated-inspired setting. The designer’s thoughtful choice of natural tones and clean lines still allows for a festive and inviting environment. Using bamboo, coconuts, and rattan with touches of black, gold and white allows a modern touch for everything a stylish dinner party should have – a wonderful mix of splendor and warmth.
