A beachy wedding in San Diego with bright, tropical details

June 13, 2022

Endless florals, thoughtful details, and the prettiest palette make up Darby and Nathan’s San Diego wedding at Hotel Del Coronado, which is right near where they had their first date four years prior. They maintained a long distance relationship all those years, from Virginia to San Diego, so it felt right to go back where it all began. Creative genius Heather at Amorology brought their bright, beachy and slightly boho style all together at the venue’s Vista Terrace for the ceremony, and Ocean Ballroom for the reception. Thanks to Rebecca Yale for sharing these beautiful shots!

These ceremony florals!!! Wow wow wow. Native Poppy incorporated the couple’s muted rainbow palette with a gradient of blooms at the altar and lining the aisle at Hotel Del Coronado.

They even brought in citrus trees to give a summery, outdoor feel to the ballroom!

Blush plates and glassware were paired with brighter pinks and yellows for a cheerful palette perfect for a San Diego wedding.
