Aqua and Tangerine, Modern Seashore

From the terrace of Mission Blue Chapel or Callippe Ballroom, you can steal a glimpse of the beautiful San Francisco Bay.  On warm sunny days, it gets even better with clear city views in the background, and sailboats dotting the water.  This  wedding pays homage to those views with a fun modern twist.  Graphic aqua and white linens from La Tavola adorn the dining and cake tables, with bright pops of orange in the tall and short centerpieces by Kate’s Blossoms.  Flashy mango colored orchids create a bit of a tropical vibe as they cascade down the otherwise simple white wedding cake. In the foyer a shimmery steel colored linen serves as the backdrop for a display of sanddollar escort cards and an enormous bouquet dripping with crystals.   The terrace area is kept simple with a fun printed orange linen and white seaside lanterns.  With all of this color at the reception, the couple kept the ceremony itself demure and sweet with white rose petals and an earthy moss covered cross in the built-in alter.  I love the way Lisa McNichol from And Something Blue brought together the design, and Sarah Peet captured it.
