In a masterclass of understated elegance woven details and a fresh, bright palette come together for this imagined reception at Casa Loma. In the heart of Laguna Beach, this editorial shoot came together with a vision of an intimate party for a modern, laid-back couple. Luxe simplicity is the vibe du jour - pulling colors from the natural beachy ambiance, sandy tones set the scene for lush green foliage and pops of muted turquoise in the signage calligraphy. The bride's ensemble is both timeless and trendy, a silk gown stops just at the ankles to showcase metallic silver pointed-toe pumps, styled with a loose updo that draws attention to the daring open back of the gown, which crafts an effortlessly elegant air.
Accented by the endless blue of the sky and ocean, a dining room setting comes to life in the glow of the evening sun. Bulbed string lights and wicker lamps hang above the beachy tablescape. Seafoam green, crisp white and metallic gold dinnerware work together against the striped tablecloth to create a modern and inviting reception space. Rich blooms in vibrant green and white function as centerpieces and their sculptural nature infuses the scene with effortless whimsy. Flowing wine and a cake adorned with fresh figs mark the close of this chic evening, curating an aspirational vibe for laid-back brides.
