Geriliz and Paul married in an intimate, Italian-inspired ceremony at Fern Forest Nature Center in Coconut Creek, Florida, photographed by Acromatico. The day leaned Capri: limoncello, San Pellegrino, pasta and ferns, with Capri-inspired decor and a David's Bridal gown.
Geriliz and Paul chose a small, intimate wedding at Fern Forest Nature Center in Coconut Creek, Florida, and built it around an Italian theme: limoncello, San Pellegrino, pasta and ferns. The decor was Capri-inspired and, by Acromatico's account, one of the most carefully planned weddings the studio has shot, where everything actually went exactly as planned.
Because the celebration was small, the day left room to forego the extra details and focus on the couple, which Acromatico calls a photographer's dream for the time it allows together. The bride wore a gown from David's Bridal, the source of a standout set of bridal portraits.
“What I do love about smaller weddings is that you can forego all the other details and focus on the couple.”
Good to know
Fern Forest Nature Center is a Broward County nature park in Coconut Creek, Florida, set among hardwood hammock, cypress and a dense canopy of ferns that give the preserve its name. Its boardwalks and shaded greenery make it a natural backdrop for couples wanting an outdoor South Florida ceremony away from a traditional ballroom.
Coconut Creek sits in northern Broward County, between Pompano Beach and Coral Springs, and is reachable from Fort Lauderdale and the wider Miami metro. Couples planning a wedding here should account for South Florida's heat and afternoon rain when scheduling an outdoor ceremony, and confirm the park's permitting and event rules with Broward County before booking.
