Warm Coastal Elegance at Kimpton Vero Beach Hotel
Ellen and Bryan’s wedding at Kimpton Vero Beach was the perfect blend of coastal charm and warm, elegant romance. Set against the shimmering Atlantic waves, their day celebrated love, light, and natural beauty—with flowers that captured both the softness of the ocean breeze and the warmth of a golden Florida sunset.
A Beachside Ceremony with Ocean Views
The ceremony took place just steps from the sand, with the ocean as the breathtaking backdrop. Rather than a traditional arch, the couple chose a ground arch - a semicircle of flowers, as their focal point—lush, textural, and perfectly suited to the beachside setting.
Fluffy pampas grass framed the design, rising to a graceful peak in the center, giving the arrangement both height and movement. Layers of blush and dusty rose blooms mingled with white flowers and pops of warm yellow, echoing the tones of the late-afternoon light. It was romantic yet effortlessly coastal, with every breeze bringing the ceremony florals softly to life.
The Bride’s Bouquet: Romantic, Garden-Inspired Beauty
Ellen carried a garden-style bouquet that felt fresh and natural but full of luxurious detail. Her bouquet featured white anemones with green centers, roses and spray roses in blush tones, and delicate scabiosa, ranunculus, astilbe, sweet peas, billy balls, yarrow, and Italian pittosporum for a mix of soft texture and cheerful color. It struck the perfect balance between whimsy and refinement—an ideal match for a modern coastal bride.
A Reception with Coastal Warmth and Refined Style
For the reception, guests gathered at tables dressed in romantic coastal elegance. The round tables featured elegant compote centerpieces, each filled with the same lush blend of blooms and surrounded by taper candles for a soft, golden glow. The long tables were designed with floral runners cascading down the length, complemented again by flickering candlelight.
The palette of blush, dusty rose, warm yellow, and white flowed seamlessly from ceremony to reception, creating a cohesive and inviting atmosphere that felt both elevated and relaxed—exactly what a seaside celebration should be.
A Lively Dance Tent with a Coastal Twist
When it came time to dance, guests entered a separate tent where the design took a fun, festive turn. Suspended above the dance floor was a ceiling installation of greenery and rattan lanterns, adding a touch of texture and organic charm that tied beautifully to the beachside setting. The band’s stage was lined with florals, ensuring every corner of the celebration felt thoughtful and complete.
From start to finish, Ellen and Bryan’s wedding at Kimpton Vero Beach was the definition of warm coastal elegance—a celebration that glowed with love, light, and lush floral beauty, perfectly capturing the spirit of the Florida coast.
