After saying “I do” in a touching ceremony, our newlyweds were whisked away in a classic car to their beautiful tented reception at Waldorf Astoria Monarch Beach. There, surrounded by 100 loved ones, Genevieve and Michael were celebrated in the most beautiful way! A clear top structure set the tone for a romantic reception beneath blue Orange County skies. White draping, chandeliers, and leafy vines only added to the romance of the space!

Pure Lavish Events beautifully designed the reception space with collections of round and rectangular tables surrounding a crisp white dance floor complete with a gold monogram of the couple’s initials. Centerpieces on the round tables were low and romantic and surrounded floating votives in glass vessels at varying heights while the rectangular tables featured lush leafy green garland flowing down the center of the tabletop and cascading to the floor. Gold accents completed the stunning look for Genevieve and Michael’s tented celebration!
