saying ‘i do’ in an open-air oceanside ceremony, the backdrop of michelle and daniel’s wedding was a picturesque stretch of coastline. covered from the sun, guests sat underneath a modern white pavilion that provided shade and air flow.

while most decorations were neutral in color, their wedding flowers were bold and beautiful. a mixture of vivid greens, pink, coral, and orange felt fitting for their beachside setting.

when shopping for a wedding dress for a beach wedding, comfort is an important factor. fabrics that are breathable such as tulle, chiffon, and lace are all wonderful options for a beachside wedding ceremony.

michelle discovered her light lace wedding dress at our denver, colorado bridal shop‘chloe’ by rish was perfect for the occasion thanks to its flowing a-line silhouette, delicate lace detailing, and illusion sides. romantic and relaxed, michelle styled her ethereal lace wedding dress by wearing her hair up in a modern bridal ponytail.

as guests made their way into the reception space, the casual elegance of their rustic beach reception made a statement. natural textures like driftwood and straw were complemented by soft candlelight and the wooden lanterns glowing overhead. the laid-back ambiance was further amplified by a range of seating options, such as rattan chairs and white couches. guests had space to roam and enjoy the ocean breeze.

beyond the natural decor and comfort, color was a theme that was present throughout their reception. bursts of vibrant color and lush greenery could be seen through tropical floral details like a greenery champagne wallpersonalized palm place cards, and the florals adorning the space.
