There’s something so serene about a wedding by the water. This seaside celebration at Balboa Bay Resort was exactly that. Kaitlyn and Eric’s wedding design blended elegance and playful personal touches which showcased the love they share in a beautiful way.

To start, their wedding invitations arrived at guests’ homes with a custom toile pattern made to blend the couple’s Balboa roots and Texas home. Also, their wedding was on Flag Day, which was a detail the couple loved to embrace.

A Nautical Color Palette to Obsess Over

Blue hydrangeas (a trending favorite), timeless white roses and delicate anemones formed a soft, romantic arch behind the couple as they said, “I do.” While the overall design leaned into mixing blues and whites, the bride made a statement with her all-white bouquet, a graceful contrast to the colorful arrangements surrounding her.

The bridesmaids wore floor-length dark blue gowns, bringing depth to the color palette and tied into the venue’s coastal charm. In addition, navy blue accents were woven throughout the design with patterned table linens, menus, and chargers.

Details to Remember

Kaitlyn and Eric went from their first kiss as husband and wife to celebrating and popping bottles as they filled their post-ceremony champagne tower. This festivity hurled guests into party mode! 

All of their excitement was felt as they gathered around a huge statement bar where signature drinks were served; each in a custom monogram cup with an acrylic stirrer featuring the couple’s cat inside. Fun little details like these make a wedding day that much more memorable. 

Outstanding Guest Entertainment

The live band brought tons of energy as guests danced and celebrated the newlyweds. One of the most memorable details from the night was the live painter, who worked throughout the evening to capture the beauty of the reception.
