Hilton at Resorts World wedding in Bimini, Bahamas- Taylor & Dan

What’s better than a surprise proposal in beautiful Bimini, Bahamas? Jetting back to that tropical paradise for your wedding! Such is the story for Dan and Taylor, a sweet couple from New Jersey who said “I do” at the Hilton at Resorts World Bimini. From crystal accessories to crystalline waters, this 70-guest destination wedding last May was an enchanting getaway.

Though it was beachside, Dan and Taylor’s wedding day was nothing short of a sophisticated affair. And Taylor’s bridal ensemble exuded this elegance: from her crystal earrings and hair accessory (tucked inside a sleek low bun updo), to her brilliantly studded Badgley Mischka heels, and her Calla Blanche dress—a striking blush-lined fitted gown with illusion and floral lace details. With a statement train and deeply plunging neckline, Taylor’s wedding dress was the final touch for a stunning wedding day look.

By her side helping her get ready were six bridesmaids and a sweet flower girl donning a greenery crown, like a little Grecian princess. It’s these pre-wedding moments that are so joyous, a special time getting excited with those you love most. A fun confetti thrower sprinkled joy for the day to come.

Overlooking crystalline turquoise waters, Dan and Taylor had their first look—just the two of them in front of the infinite horizon. Their portrait session was light and airy, an array of palm trees framing the couple in their tropical oasis.

The aquamarine sea was a dreamy ceremony backdrop. Maids wearing sage- and oyster- tinted floral dresses and groomsmen in dapper light grey suits stood by Dan and Taylor’s side as they recited their vows. 

Coastal elements trickled indoors for the reception, with bright white drapes and crisp cotton linen tablecloths, a neutral palate amidst wooden table numbers and low arrangement florals. Dinner, dancing, and toasts ensued, the couple laughing and enjoying every second from their sweetheart table lush with white flowers.

A sweet ending to the evening was the rustic wedding cake and surprise personalized cake decorations—adorable figurines of the bride and groom and their beloved pup Sadie. These special pieces were handmade by the bride’s sister-in-law, a cake decorator for a bakery in New Jersey. While the couple celebrated their destination wedding in a Bahamian paradise, touching details like these decorations brought a piece of home to their tropical nuptials.
