Coastal Wedding Weekend Celebration in Orange County

August 19, 2025

It’s been one whole year since Natalie and Ben’s epic wedding weekend in the Orange County and we are still not over it. From the beachy rehearsal dinner and vibrant all-white welcome party, to the timeless and elegant wedding celebration overlooking the Pacific Ocean, the weekend was filled with endless love, fun, and of course design details! Let’s recap where it all began as we celebrated the happy couple!

We kicked off the weekend with a relaxed, coastal-inspired rehearsal dinner at The Deck on Laguna Beach. The setting embraced ocean blues with patterned linens, crisp white chairs, and the most darling beachy tabletop details to create a breezy, effortless design that perfectly matched the ocean backdrop. It truly set the tone for a weekend of stylish celebrations ahead!

The welcome party at The Ritz-Carlton, Laguna Niguel was all about vibrancy and fun! We incorporated natural textures with rattan furniture and wooden accents, paired with bold pops of color in the floral design. Guests enjoyed an evening of delicious cocktails, light bites and an interactive flower-crown station – so cute! The bright, colorful palette against the sweeping ocean views created the perfect lively atmosphere for guests to mix, mingle, and celebrate the soon-to-be newlyweds!

After an unforgettable welcome party the night before, we returned to The Ritz-Carlton, Laguna Niguel to celebrate the big day! The wedding day was a perfect balance of elegance and coastal romance. Natalie and Ben began with a private first look – it was such an intimate moment we’ll never forget, we just love a first look! Guests gathered on the lawn for a timeless ceremony, where the couple said ‘I do’ on a white altar framed by lush florals and a perfect ocean view!

Cocktail hour followed at sunset, where guests mingled and sipped drinks on the terrace. The celebration continued in the ballroom, where a blank canvas was reimagined into a timeless, neutral aesthetic – filled with lush white blooms, layered greenery, twinkling lights, a custom dance floor and thoughtful design details that brought the entire space to life. Every detail felt classic, elevated and perfectly reflective of Natalie and Ben’s vision!
