If you loved the romantic details from our Monarch Beach Resort styled ceremony shoot and the custom wedding stationery we designed, then you’re in for a treat! We’re excited to reveal the next chapter of our creative editorial: a stunningly staged outdoor wedding reception on the resort’s Botanical Lawn, designed to capture the magic of the Southern California coast in every detail.

With its lush green setting, sweeping views, and refreshing ocean breeze, the Botanical Lawn was the perfect canvas for a celebration full of color, texture, and elegance.

Lush Florals & Elegant Coastal Vibes

Our design palette came alive with magenta and blush roses, coral peonies, and lush greenery, arranged to perfection by the talented team at Flowers by Cina. This vibrant blend of colors brought warmth and energy to the tablescapes while still feeling elevated and timeless.

We mixed tall floral arrangements with smaller, lush centerpieces to create height and dimension throughout the space. The tables were set with textured linens, glowing gold candle holders, and crystal-clear Lucite chiavari chairs—a combination that felt simultaneously modern and romantic.

A Regal Sweetheart Table & Statement Cake Moment

Every couple deserves to feel like royalty on their wedding day, and our sweetheart table design certainly delivered. Positioned with intention and framed by florals and soft candlelight, it was fit for a king and queen—inviting yet grand.

One of the reception’s focal points was a four-tier white wedding cake, tastefully adorned with a single coral peony and a touch of greenery. Its minimalist elegance made it a showstopper without overshadowing the rest of the décor.

Indoor Wine Cellar & Terrace Styling

To add variety to our shoot and showcase the versatility of Monarch Beach Resort, we styled additional vignettes inside the resort’s Wine Cellar and Terrace. The space’s rich wood furnishings, elegant bar, and ambient lighting offered the perfect contrast to the outdoor reception, bringing in warmth and sophistication for a moody, intimate setting.

Whether you’re dreaming of a sunset celebration outdoors or a cozy evening indoors, this venue truly offers the best of both worlds—and this styled shoot was designed to spark inspiration for couples who want both elegance and originality in their wedding celebration.

The Perfect Blend of Coastal Luxury & Bold Color

From ocean breezes and string lights to bold florals and refined design details, this styled shoot proves you can embrace coastal California charm without sacrificing color, personality, or polish. Every element was curated to feel both luxurious and approachable—and to remind couples that your dream wedding can (and should) reflect who you are.
