A Dreamy Royal Poinciana Chapel Wedding Followed by a Stunning Tented Reception at The Country Club of Florida | Palm Beach Wedding Photographer
There are weddings—and then there are Palm Beach weddings. Genevieve and John’s elegant yet fun celebration at the Royal Poinciana Chapel followed by an impeccably designed reception at The Country Club of Florida was truly something out of a dream. As a Palm Beach wedding photographer, I’m always inspired by venues that blend history, charm, and breathtaking coastal views—and this day had all that and more.
Classic Romance at the Royal Poinciana Chapel
Nestled in the heart of Palm Beach, Royal Poinciana Chapel is a timeless venue. Genevieve and John couldn’t have chosen a more iconic place to exchange their vows. The tropical blue chapel, surrounded by swaying palms set the stage for an unforgettable ceremony.
Genevieve first got ready at her parents lovely Palm Beach home. Next, her and John exchanged private vows before their actual ceremony- which is always so intimate and special. Genevieve then walked down the aisle in a classic gown that felt both vintage and modern. It perfectly complemented the chapel’s elegance and Genevieve’s personality. From the soft ivory florals to the golden afternoon light filtering through the windows, every element was pure magic.
Elegant Country Club of Florida Wedding Reception
After the ceremony, guests enjoyed cocktail hour and reception at The Country Club of Florida in nearby Village of Golf. With its sprawling grounds, impeccable service, and old Florida feel, it was the ideal backdrop for their unforgettable celebration.
Lastly, the tented reception was a coastal-chic haven with white florals, soft candlelight, and custom linens that spoke to Genevieve and John’s personalities. From their fun first dance to the roaring laughter during toasts, the evening was filled with heartfelt moments I was honored to capture.
