Their style design included various textures, from the floral arrangement, dress choice, to having various vases on the reception tables. Their goal for their wedding was for their guests to enjoy the ocean views, and to soak in the ambiance. The couple did this by having guests dine outside surrounded by string lights and candles during sunset. Hailey and Morgan wanted to have a bit of fun with the reception space and included a giant disco ball to encourage guests to stay out on the dance floor.

[field title=”Florals & Decor”]

Abigail from Cottage Garden Florals, “Hailey’s vision for her wedding florals was timeless whites with tons of texture. We went heavy on the blooms, incorporating as many seasonal summer ingredients as possible and light on the foliage to make way for the flowers to really shine. From the whimsical bouquets to the 200 candlelit mono-bloom bud vases to the blooming ceremony pillars to the fluffy dance floor ceiling feature — texture was the name of the game! ” A favorite small detail of mine was the florals floating in the water fountain. It added such an elegant touch tying in all the features the venue had to offer.

They had a two-tiered wedding cake with floral accents provided by their florist, Cottage Garden Florals.
