Lush Sophistication at Monarch Beach

January 7, 2022 4:31 pm

Event designers think a lot about chairs. Yes, chairs. Back in the day, choices for seating for special events were few – as in, two types of chairs: folding and chiavari. Now, you have chameleon, Louis IV, Ghost chairs…the list goes on!

This diverse array of colors and shapes in event chairs gives designers more elements to play with. For Alyson and Philip’s big day at Monarch Beach, we provided rich, textural white florals with touches of greenery to provide a pretty counterpoint to sleek, sophisticated black “Washington” and “Dior” chairs. Along with neutral linens and soft drapery, their wedding reception looked like a classy supper club.

For the ceremony, we created a chuppah fitting of the breezy seaside lawn, with gorgeous flowers along each side and no florals on top, to veer focus to a tallit prayer shawl hung above.

See how it all came together for this stunning wedding, below.
