Event: Chelsea & Jeff’s Wedding
VENUE: THE RESORT AT PELICAN HILL
Ceremony
Set against the breathtaking canvas of the Pacific Ocean, this elegant wedding ceremony at the Resort at Pelican Hill captures that effortless coastal sophistication you dream about but rarely see executed this flawlessly. The iconic rotunda, draped in whisper-soft white fabric, commands attention at the end of a luxurious aisle scattered with pristine white rose petals—each one placed with the kind of attention to detail that makes guests pause and actually notice the magic happening around them.
Rows of crisp white chairs align perfectly on either side of the petal-strewn pathway, creating clean sight lines that somehow feel both formal and relaxed. Modern clear acrylic stands topped with voluminous, round floral arrangements in ivory, blush, and soft pink punctuate the ceremony space—though honestly, calling them “arrangements” feels inadequate when they’re practically sculpture-sized masterpieces of cascading blooms.
The natural beauty of manicured greenery and vibrant white rose bushes frames the entire setting, because sometimes the best design choice is knowing when to let the oceanfront location do half the work for you. At the aisle’s entrance, whimsical white branches adorned with hanging crystals add just enough sparkle to catch the coastal light without competing with that million-dollar ocean view.
This design achieves something most couples spend months chasing—timeless luxury that feels completely natural to its surroundings, like the flowers grew there and the ocean specifically arranged itself for this moment.
Reception
The reception transforms Pelican Hill’s ballroom into what can only be described as romantic theater. And we mean that in the best possible way—this isn’t just dinner and dancing, it’s an immersive experience that makes every guest feel like they’ve stepped into something extraordinary.
Soft draping flows throughout the space while ambient uplighting bathes everything in blush tones that somehow manage to be both dramatic and subtle. The towering floral chandelier becomes the room’s crown jewel, overflowing with hydrangeas, roses, and orchids in those perfect pastel shades that photograph like a dream but look even better in person.
The sweetheart table deserves its own paragraph because it’s basically floral architecture at this point. A lush runner spills gracefully onto the high-gloss dance floor, creating this stunning focal point that draws every eye in the room. Behind the stage, cascading garlands and sheer white draping frame the live band setup—and yes, there’s something incredibly satisfying about watching musicians perform against a backdrop that beautiful.
Gold-rimmed chargers catch the light from crystal stemware, while mirrored accents reflect the glow of candlelight and those iconic resort chandeliers above. The resort’s signature arched windows flood the space with natural light, highlighting every ethereal detail we’ve layered in.
But here’s what really elevates the whole thing: delicate white manzanita trees adorned with hanging crystals flank the reception space. They’re unexpected, whimsical, and somehow manage to make a grand ballroom feel intimate. That’s the kind of design choice that separates good events from unforgettable ones.
