Nicole and Charles - China Blanca

Nicole and Charles were enamored with Casa China Blanca from the first moment they laid eyes on it. In order to make space in the budget for the grandiose venue (and an amazing fireworks display to surprise guests), the couple opted for a more modern and less traditional reception format - a cocktail-style reception - with passed appetizers throughout the night accompanied by a super yummy cupcake display that satisfied guests' sweet tooth later on into the dancing!

The couple chose a palette of Tiffany blue and white with shells and the ocean as primary design elements! The day turned out warm, lovely and so incredibly intimate and beautiful!

Thank you to Dara and Austin, their professional photographers, who are supplying the majority of the photos below!






The bride and groom took a few very romantic moments to have a "first look" prior to guest arrival! And despite the gorgeous backdrop, trust me when I say that the groom's eyes were on nothing but the beautiful bride!


The ceremony took place on the shaded outdoor terrace with the pool, ocean and bright blue sky in the background!






Following the kiss, guests mingled at cocktail tables and lounge areas spread throughout the venue, and as the evening progressed, the dance floor became the center of excitement!




A simple one-layer cake atop pyramids of cupcakes allowed for the respected tradition of the cake cutting - made all the better by fireworks exploding into the night sky!



Congratulations Nicole and Charles!
