Outdoor Wedding Ceremony | The Portofino Wedding of Brittany and Ben
Brittany and Ben held their beautiful outdoor wedding ceremony at the Portofino Bay Hotel on Halloween last year. The happy couple traveled to Orlando from Wisconsin with their closest family members and friends for their intimate destination wedding. What a fun way to spend the holiday!
The couple’s wedding color scheme of blush pink and mint green was nontraditional for the fall season, but it looked just lovely at their ceremony site, the Citrus Piazza! We also loved the special details that made this outdoor wedding ceremony their own. Brittany’s henna designs, purple hair highlights, and pink sneakers really showed her personality, and the groom’s choice to bypass a suit jacket was so smart considering the warm weather!

OUR FAVE PICS FROM THE WEDDING
WHAT WE LOVED
The Just Marry! Team greatly enjoyed working with Brittany and Ben on their outdoor wedding ceremony at the Portofino! Here’s what their Just Marry! coordinator, Jessica, shared about their event:
-
Favorite detail
The bride’s dress was SO sparkly and caught the sunlight perfectly. It couldn’t have been a better choice for their romantic outdoor wedding ceremony!
-
Most emotional moment
The first look! It was so intimate and romantic, perfect for this couple.
-
A nontraditional choice made by the couple
Brittany and Ben didn’t write their vows in advance. They just spoke directly from the heart during the ceremony. It was something I hadn’t seen before, and it made it so much more powerful!
