Catherine and Stephen’s 15th Street Fisheries Wedding Rehearsal Dinner in Fort Lauderdale was one full of good food, great company, pure joy, and tons of laughter! Not to mention, beautiful skies considering the morning of and later that night, Fort Lauderdale experienced tons of rain storms.
Coming from New York, the happy couple have a love for South Florida. Not only are they fans of the tropical vibes, but they have family down here, including the most adorable three nieces and one nephew. In the near future, they’re hoping to reside in both sunny Florida and New York.
Because of their love for Florida, Catherine and Stephen planned on having a tropical-filled weekend. From their attire (I mean, hello flamingo shirt!! I am obsessed with his shirt and her color-coordinating earrings. If you love his shirt as much as I do, check out Bonobos for their awesome, well-fitted men’s clothing) to their bridal party gifts, their theme was on-point. The boys were given flamingo socks, ties, and handkerchiefs. The ladies were given boxers decorated with oranges and miscellaneous personal gifts. It was so much fun watching everyone open their gifts!
