A St. Regis Longboat Key Wedding Weekend

Kay and Pierce’s wedding weekend at The St. Regis Longboat Key was the perfect blend of elevated elegance and spirited celebration. The festivities began with a welcome party that transported guests to a tropical paradise. The St. Regis ballroom was transformed into an intimate dinner setting surrounded by rich green velvet drapery and glowing candlelight—a luxurious nod to a Hawaiian-inspired luau.

After dinner, guests followed the sound of a conch blow to the grand lawn, where a sailcloth tent awaited beachside. The tent came alive with vibrant energy—lush tropical florals, statement lounge groupings, a custom-designed bar at its center, and unforgettable details like live flamingos, hula dancers, branded coconuts, and fire performers. It was a night that truly set the tone for the weekend ahead—joyful, colorful, and full of life.

The following day, the grand lawn was transformed into a beautiful ceremony space. Kay’s bridesmaids wore soft shades of pink by Lula Kate, perfectly complementing her timeless Sareh Nouri gown. With a radiant coastal breeze and a sunset with pink and gold tones, the entire weekend embodied everything we love most about Florida weddings—refined, heartfelt, and joyfully unforgettable.
