This past weekend was nothing short of magical in Manhattan Beach. I had the honor of designing and planning a breathtaking beachside wedding for our beautiful bride Cynthia and her groom Kyle — a truly intimate and heartfelt celebration with 50 of their closest loved ones.
From start to finish, it was my joy to bring this entire wedding weekend to life. The ceremony took place right on the sand, with guests seated in elegant bamboo chairs, all facing a stunning white floral arch that looked like an oasis set against the ocean backdrop. As Cynthia walked down the aisle, the scene was made even more enchanting by live music from the talented artist WAIS — his voice setting the perfect tone for a dreamy seaside moment.
The celebration didn’t stop there. We kicked off the festivities with a rehearsal dinner at Shade Hotel, where laughter, toasts, and great food set the mood for the weekend. After the beach ceremony, the party moved to The 900 Club, where the energy soared and the dance floor stayed full late into the evening. And to close the weekend with even more love and joy, guests gathered once again on Sunday for a relaxing post-wedding brunch at Shade Hotel Manhattan Beach — the perfect send-off for a magical weekend.
It was an absolute pleasure to plan and design every detail — from the ceremony flowers to the event flow, guest experience, and everything in between. Cynthia and Kyle, thank you for trusting me. Watching your love shine through every moment was a true gift.
To all the future brides dreaming of a beachside wedding or needing someone to bring your vision to life: I’ve got you covered. Just say the word, and I’ll make the magic happen.
With flower love,
