From Beth Helmstetter…
Australian natives, Virginia and Jordan’s glamorous wedding was something out of a dream – a ceremony on the helipad of Malibu Rocky Oaks, scattered with multi colored rose petals and a reception that boasted every luxurious detail imaginable. The majority of their guests flew in from Australia and around the globe, so creating an exceptional experience was of utmost priority. The invitations were travel-themed with the itinerary mimicking a ticket from Qantas Airlines.
After the heartfelt ceremony with stunning backdrop of the California mountainside, guests sipped champagne and rose, served in vintage coupe glassware and passed poolside with lavender lemonade and Arnold Palmers. Stunning floral arrangements in a mix of tall and medium vessels held lush blush, bright pink, coral, and cream peonies and roses, while the tables were flooded with candlelight. Hydrangea and dahlias accented the softness of the roses and peonies sprinkled throughout the centerpieces. Soft blue linens contrasted the brightness of the flowers and were accented by mismatched vintage china at each place setting.
The decor incorporated long, raw wood feasting tables with soft muslin that coordinated with the muslin draping overhead. Guests were revealed a stunning reception where they dined al fresco amongst candlelight. Draping was tied back with long, flowing ribbons in hot pink, fuchsia, coral, and gold cords. The structure itself was uplit in candlelight tones for a warm glow as the sun set.
Virginia had a costume change after her ceremony from a blush pink stunner to a more playful dress with ruffles!
