Florals & Decor

Emblem Floral Design Studio kept the florals in a clean cream color with natural blue hues to tie into our oceana theme. Emmanuelle's bouquet featured a natural, romantic, loose aesthetic using seasonal blooms in the wedding color palette. From sweet peas, garden roses, white clematis, ranunculus, blue nigella, and blue delphinium, pale blue iris, tied with a clean silk ribbon wrap. For the ceremony, we didn't want to obstruct the views of the beach and ocean, so we decided to have a floor floral arch and ghost chairs. For the dinner tables, we wanted to incorporate the cream florals with white ceramic vases dressed in a clean ivory velvet linen and accented with menus in handmade paper with silver foiling and guests' names calligraphed on sea glass.

Wedding Cake

Our inspiration for the cake was it to have a Coral Reef and Oceana movement.

Readings, Ceremony Music, Reception Songs
Ceremony Music included "Here Comes The Sun”, "Kiss the Girl" from The Little Mermaid, and the bride's procession song was "Surfer Girl" by The Beach Boys
