Just Married: Tiffany Rively and Kyle Kozel

Tiffany Rively and Kyle Kozel met during their senior year of high school because their best friends were dating. After a few months of spending time together, they realized they had a unique balance and great chemistry.

After almost 10 years together, Kyle proposed on May 10, 2014, at the Hyatt Regency in Bonita Springs while they were enjoying a staycation.

The couple was married Oct. 10, at IslandWalk at West Villages in Venice. As a corporate fashion buyer for a large department store, Tiffany appreciates texture and color complements, and the day’s events were modern chic with a tropical feel.

While scrolling through Pinterest, the bride came across a wedding invitation and felt she found her wedding inspiration — the color scheme became black-and-white stripes with muted soft blush, seafoam and champagne.

“This example of masculine/feminine I felt perfectly represented our taste,” she says. “He loves simple, like the black-and-white look, and I am ultra feminine and like lots of muted tones and sparkle.”

The couple enjoyed a change in weather while recently honeymooning at the Omni Grove Park Inn in Asheville, NC.
