The Driftwood Story...
The Driftwood Collection is our love letter to the shoreline: pampas that sway like whispers, dried fronds that keep time with the tide, and sun‑washed neutrals that let the ocean be your orchestra. Here, wind lifts the veil and carries your vows farther than any aisle ever could.
Designed for couples manifesting a Florida beach wedding or intimate elopement in Naples, Sanibel, Captiva, or Fort Myers Beach, Driftwood layers jute, rattan, and sculptural wood for a look that’s editorial yet undone. Choose your tier—Essentials, Elegance, Signature, Lux—then make it yours with more fresh‑floral accents, live musician, and extended photography.
From permits to golden‑hour timing and wind‑aware installs, we handle the details so you can have everything your love deserves—beautifully simple, unmistakably coastal.
Every Driftwood ceremony package includes:
Driftwood Collection inclusions at a glance.
If you have your own officiant or photographer, it's no problem. We are happy to remove those services from the ceremony package.

Driftwood Collection, Styled Ceremony Packages
Each designer collection is composed of 4 ceremony packages, from the simplest essentials to a bespoke event full of details and styling, all with fresh flowers and the ability to customize the inclusions. At Platinum, you always have the freedom to choose your ceremony colors, finishes, times and design for your Ft Myers or Captiva beach wedding.
Start with the package collection look and vibe you feel most speaks to your love story, then choose the package tier that matches your event size, level of styling and services you want for your beach wedding ceremony - add more services and vibes from there.

FAQs — Driftwood Collection
Is pampas allowed on local beaches?
Policies vary by municipality. We use shed‑resistant, professionally prepared materials and secure installs; we’ll advise on location‑specific guidelines and alternatives if needed.
Can we mix fresh florals with dried textures?
Yes. Signature and Lux can blend fresh stems (e.g., orchids, roses) with pampas/dried elements for a soft‑meets‑wild look.
Which arch shapes are available?
Triangle, hex, round/moon, or organic frames. Availability varies by tier; custom builds quoted upon request. You can swap arches as you wish for each package. Fee's may apply for additional flowers, as each arch requires different floral design and sizes.
Are chairs included?
Chairs begin at Elegance (up to ~20), Signature (up to ~30), and Lux (up to ~40). Style options depend on location and inventory. You can add more seating to the packages for a fee. Discounts are given for seating not needed in package that include seating.
How does the wind affect the look?
We design Driftwood with stability in mind—weighted bases, strategic orientation, and low‑profile elements where needed—so movement looks intentional, not messy.
What about music?
Some type of music package is included in every Driftwood beach package. You can upgrade the music package to a fuller playlist or upgrade to a live musician for a fee.
How much photography time is included?
Essentials: 45–60 min • Elegance: 60–90 min • Signature: 90 min • Lux: 90–120 min. Additional time can be added to any tier.
Do you help with permits and choosing the beach?
Yes—Naples, Fort Myers Beach, Sanibel, Captiva, Bonita. We’ll guide access, parking, and timing. Some beaches may require changes to design to comply with beach standards. If you choose a beach venue that requires permitting or changes to our design, we will guide you through the process and substitute designs to accomplish your overall look.
