Orange County–based wedding experts at
Inviting Occasion
approach each event with the goal of getting to know each couple
and then telling their story through décor to create an ambiance that reflects
their personalities. For Jennifer Frank and Jeff Fischer’s Capistrano Beach
wedding, the warm vibes exuded by the couple called for a “chic yet laid-back
style” that incorporated their love of modern styling.

“They stressed over and
over again that they wanted it to feel like a party and wanted décor to be
unusual and unique but also very chic,” explains Inviting Occasion owner
Larrissa Rehder.

Succulents stood at the center of each floral arrangement,
creating a cohesive effect with the succulents in the private-home venue.
Floral-filled bulbs were strung individually from the home’s balcony, adding a
whimsical touch, while driftwood-like grape and chola woods, candles and
brightly colored Z Gallerie wire hurricanes lined the aisle. The ultimate
result was a vision that exuded happiness and warmth melded with a current
sensibility.
