Elegant All-White Wedding with a Tropical Touch Featured on Inside Weddings

We love when couples choose a classic wedding design, but with a contemporary, and sometimes unexpected twist. Brooke and Josh did just that and we are beyond thrilled to share that their elegant all-white wedding with a tropical touch has been featured on Inside Weddings!

The couple worked closely with planner Tricia Dahlgren of Tricia Dahlgren Events to bring their wedding vision to life. Their interfaith wedding featured both Jewish and Christian traditions. 

“Brooke and I did a good job of making sure that each part of the day represented elements of both of us and our relationship together,” the groom told Inside Weddings. 

For the outdoor ceremony at Waldorf Astoria Monarch Beach guests were seated on contemporary, clear chairs arranged around the acrylic chuppah featuring greenery and cascading white florals designed by our team at Flowers by Cina.

Brooke looked stunning in her lace gown and clutching a hand-tied bouquet of florals as she walked down the aisle on the arms of her mother and brother. 

“Seeing the faces of all our loved ones during the ceremony being so happy for us truly made me cry. It was such an honor and so special to have everyone choose to be there to help celebrate,” the bride told Inside Weddings.

For the open-air reception, the couple chose all-white decor with gold and tropical accents. This is how Inside Weddings describes the reception design:

“The space was beautifully draped in swagged ivory chiffon with geometric gilt chandeliers adorned with foliage and wisteria overhead. Tables showcased either golden candelabra and a trio of ivory flower arrangements or tall centerpieces comprised of ranunculuses, peonies, and garden roses with accents of phalaenopsis orchids and lush verdure including Italian ruscus, lemon leaves, huckleberries, and eucalyptuses. Gold geometric terrariums were filled with loose florals and greenery, and floating candles and metallic votives added to the romantic ambience. In lieu of charger plates, place settings featured a tropical Monstera leaf with each guest’s name in gilt hand lettering, which complemented the bullion-hued flatware.” 

Flowers by Cina was truly honored to be a part of this bespoke, interfaith wedding. Scroll below to see Fitz Carlile Photography’s stunning captures from Brooke and Josh’s elegant, all-white wedding with a tropical touch featured on Inside Weddings.
