Ashton & Willie

Long Beach, California

2023

An intimate celebration in a location near and dear to the couple. Bringing guests to their hometown, ashton and willie wanted their guests to feel comfortable and taken care of during the weekend of events.

We privatized their favorite local restaurant for the celebration. Guests were greeted with a turmeric ginger spritz and classic mojito while enjoying the patio and gardens prior to the ceremony.

We designed an organic ceremony space with distressed ceramic pots, vines, queen anne’s lace which popped nicely against the black woven ceremony chairs, ivory boucle lounge furnishings, and a custom green marble bar. After cocktails through the patio we invited guests to the restaurant for a seasonal menu paired with natural wines.
