Magical Green Garden Wedding at Monarch Beach Resort

Standing at the center of the Pacific Lawn at the Monarch Beach Resort, a grand greenery chuppah easily commanded the ceremony space. Constructed from natural wooden posts covered in green ivy and moss, the top was blossoming with a lush creation of pepper berry and assorted white florals. The couple opted for a custom chuppah rather than use the existing hotel gazebo so that they could uniquely arrange their ceremony in a round, easily giving all guests a great view for their vows. A long-mirrored catwalk was built specifically for the occasion and beautifully reflected the long row of pillar candles that bordered the aisle on each side.

The romantic greenery continued in the reception, where custom pergolas were created overtop of long tables. Covered in dark greens that cascaded along the posts and hung overhead with dainty candles mixed between, the guests were immersed into their very own enchanted garden.


More unique tablescapes were created throughout the ballroom, where oversized round tables were neighbored by long family tables. Keeping consistent with all white tabletops or linens, paired with acrylic chairs and a combination of mirrored and glass accents created a clean space sparkling with candlelight and a magical ambiance. The last touch that flawlessly finished the look was dripping greenery from the chandeliers above. Take a look below to see all of the stunning decor and details!
