Sonya and Emmanuel captured our hearts with their sweet personalities and beautiful love story. We’re excited to share that their ethereal, oceanfront wedding has been featured on Tacari Weddings!
New Yorkers Sonya and Emmanuel’s destination wedding at The Ritz-Carlton, Laguna Niguel was an elegant and romantic black-tie affair with a chic and modern twist. The couple exchanged vows surrounded by family and friends, many of whom had travelled far to be a part of their special day.
“I opted for a clean color palette: bridesmaids wore sleek black gowns (my favorite color) with all white florals with metallic accents,” the bride said.
For the romantic ceremony setup the couple chose arrangements of white blooms with lush greenery, white wooden chairs, and gold metallic accents. The beautiful bride and groom exchanged vows beneath a floral-filled arch on clear, acrylic pillars that enhanced and captured the beauty of the ocean backdrop.
The couple worked closely with planner Agape Planning to bring their wedding vision to life.
For the indoor reception the creative team designed a stunning space with the mix of black, white, and gold details paired with classic yet modern floral arrangements and candles of varying heights.
“They were able to transform the reception ballroom with the mix of classic and modern high and low floral arrangements and candles. Everything was beautiful and stunning. Simply perfect!,” the bride said.
