Kativa and Jimmy’s wedding day was inspired by their shared love of the beach. But don’t be fooled – their beachy vibes were elevated and glamorous thanks to all of the carefully chosen details. From the tropical pink orchids to the oceanfront ceremony complete with a sunset-colored floral arch, their wedding was beach chic from start to finish.

A tropical vibe starts with a tropical sunset color scheme

The couple chose vibrant, bright tones of peach and rose pink balanced with greens to capture the modern tropical theme they were going for. From their first look among the resort’s flower beds, to the bride’s bridal party portraits along the tall trees and background of the Dana Point Harbor, the couple enjoyed the ocean breeze and seascape as their wedding day backdrop.

Orchids can be black tie or beach chic

Orchids were the very first flowers Kativa received from Jimmy on their first date, so these were incorporated in the bridal bouquet, tablescape, and cake display. Little personalized details like this were evident in everything they did throughout the day!
