The guest tables were covered in gold overlay with centerpieces of bromeliads, votive candles set in sand and pebbles, and tropical colored mints were designed by Penne Moore. A grand colonnade set the center stage for the bride and groom's traditional toasts of their three-tier wedding cake and champagne punch. Mrs. Dennis Sanders and Mrs. Dick Webb, aunts of the bride, served the cake and punch. Elegant arrangements and topiaries of orchids, hibiscus and bird of paradise were placed throughout the hall. Carved watermelon baskets garnished with pineapple, grapes, strawberries and melon skewers created a festive fruit bar.
