Doesn’t this view just instantly make you feel at ease? The Malibu coast has our hearts for sure. For their wedding, Connie and Mike kept it sweet and intimate (with only eight in attendance) at a breathtaking private residence overlooking the ocean. The venue provided the dreamy Pacific backdrop + the team at Sitting in a Tree brought C + M’s Modern California vision to life.

Thanks to Max Wanger for these flawless shots:

Roses + peonies floating on by… The pool inspired much of the color play in the event design.

The contemporary details of the house kickstarted their design. Tori of Sitting in a Tree says, Since the bride and groom live on the East Coast, they really wanted a wedding that felt like the beach without being too cliché. We incorporated dark, modern, and masculine touches (Eames chairs, wood flatware, etc.) and balanced it out with a lot of colorful brights to keep it from being too serious. The venue was right on the beach and provided the perfect backdrop for them to celebrate.

We think Connie + Mike’s special day could absolutely inspire any intimate event, don’t you?

Wishing you two the best!
