Randy dipped Traci for a kiss right in the middle of the aisle. One of her bare feet lifted off the ground, her bouquet nearly filled the space between them, and their guests had a front-row view from both sides. Looking back at their wedding at Luna Beach Resort in West End, Roatán, that photo feels just right for this couple. They had fun with the ceremony, and they brought that same spirit to the dance floor.
A barefoot kiss on the beach
Traci wore a white lace dress and carried a tropical bouquet with broad green leaves and pink blooms. Behind them, a triangular arch framed the water. The sun was low enough to shine through the flowers, and the white aisle caught the light against the sand.
What I love about their ceremony photo is how much of their group made it into the frame. You can see guests leaning toward the aisle to watch the kiss. Years from now, Traci and Randy will be able to look at that picture and see who was smiling right beside them.
Dinner with a Caribbean view, then plenty of dancing
For the reception, we set round tables under Luna Beach’s white rafters. Red heliconias hung from tall gold stands, with lower arrangements on other tables. White linens let those colors stand out, and beyond the gold chairs you could see straight across the water to the dock.
The white dance floor sat right beside the dinner tables, with the DJ lights overhead. That turned out to be exactly where this group wanted to be. Traci and Randy danced a lot, and their guests were right there with them. We have beautiful photographs of the room before everyone came in, but what I remember as their planner is how much fun that group had once the music was playing.
Fireworks from the dock
One of my favorite photographs from the evening is the two of them standing barefoot on the wooden dock. Traci had changed into a short, sparkling dress. With one arm around Randy and the other raised in the air, she watched gold fireworks burst over the water. After a reception full of dancing, I love that they have this picture of the two of them taking it all in together.
Traci and Randy, thank you for trusting Weddings Roatan with your celebration. It was such a pleasure to host you and your wonderfully fun group here on the island!
