Lush, Beachy Wedding Day with Moody and Unique Florals at Casa Romantica

When Kimberlee Schreiner met Cole Altazurra at an art show in Venice Beach, the two instantly bonded over their love for creativity, and they became inseparable from that moment forward. Though they spent countless dates at galleries and museums, they also found they shared a love of nature. Their wedding at Casa Romantica Cultural Center & Gardens was intended to reflect the time they’d spent hiking and camping as well as their mutual nostalgia for their childhood memories of days spent on the beach. Playful yet moody, thoughtful bundles of unique florals lined the aisle and ceremony space, with the bride herself holding a bouquet of stunning organic blooms with hints of greenery to match the lush and spacious venue. Kimberlee stood out beautifully against the colorful scene in her simple yet elegant open-back slip dress and pleated veil, with its hints of lace applique. Looking dapper in his beige suit, Cole shed tears as he watched his beloved walk toward him and the rest of their life together. The guests, in colors just as vibrant as the florals surrounding them, enjoyed a lively cocktail hour of drinks and decadent charcuterie while the newlyweds shared a private moment on the beach. Returning to a rich yet organically styled reception, Kimberlee and Cole relished the beauty of their wedding. Eating dinner surrounded by friends, family and the beauty of nature, they made their wedding celebration even sweeter by cutting into their flower-adorned cake as the stars began to twinkle above them.
