The Resort at Pelican Hill - Christy & Patrick
There’s nothing quite like bold, beautiful florals to make a wedding feel truly unforgettable—and Christy & Patrick’s wedding at The Resort at Pelican Hill delivered exactly that. With a rich palette of blush, champagne, burgundy, and deep green, their alfresco celebration combined soft elegance with vibrant drama in the most spectacular way.
A Breathtaking Ceremony with Coastal Views
Overlooking the Pacific Ocean, Christy and Patrick exchanged vows beneath the venue’s iconic rotunda. The ceremony design was both romantic and bold, with crescent-shaped floral arrangements created by Bloom Box Designs. These lush installations featured a luxurious mix of ivory, blush, and burgundy blooms, textural greenery, and a sense of movement that framed the altar with sculptural elegance.
Guests were treated to panoramic coastal views as they witnessed the couple say “I do,” followed by a sophisticated cocktail hour surrounded by the beauty of the Southern California coastline.
An Alfresco Dinner Reception Under the Stars
The reception took place outdoors in an intimate, starlit setting. String lights twinkled overhead as guests dined at two long tables arranged with impeccable detail:
Blush-toned linens created a soft, romantic base
Burgundy napkins added a touch of richness and contrast
Clear glass chargers and gold chairs offered refined, modern elegance
Dozens of candles added a warm glow and an inviting atmosphere
Each table featured tall floral centerpieces, complemented by lush floral garlands that ran the length of the tables and cascaded beautifully over the edges to the ground—creating a seamless garden-style tablescape full of texture and color.
To top off each place setting, agate stones with hand-lettered gold calligraphy served as unique escort cards and keepsakes for each guest.
A Show-Stopping Wedding Cake with Style
For their cake, Christy and Patrick collaborated with the culinary team at The Resort at Pelican Hill to bring their vision of an elegant yet modern cake design to life. The final result? A stunning, statement-making confection that was both delicious and unforgettable.
