MODERN TROPICAL WEDDING INSPIRATION AT THE MODERN, LONG BEACH

Design, Featured, Flowers

In 2017 I decided to create the work I wanted to be doing.

So I asked my friend Renee of Moxie Bright Events if she’d like to collaborate on a minimal, modern, and elegant re-imagining of the “greenery” trend taking over the interwebs
(all. that. garland.) and she came on board.

The rest is history. And hard work. And talented collaborators. And lots and lots of tropical greenery, with nary a garland in sight! 🙂

Enough rambling though, check out all the modern, minimal + tropical magic we created at The Modern in Long Beach:

While these elevated centerpieces are black-tie ready, the acrylic escort cards I designed (with calligraphy by Chasing Linen) add a playful element to the table.

We incorporated acrylic details + simple greenery throughout- in this beautiful invitation from Happily Ever Etched…

You’ll also see acrylic details in the table number, and later, the ceremony design.

Texture and tiny details FTW.

These donuts from Mwokaji Cakery are almost too pretty to eat. Almost. 😉

And a closer look at those escort cards. I created three different leaf styles, but the mini monsteras are definitely my fave!

Beautiful table top from Borrowed Blu with styling by Renee! Oh! And dip-dyed napkins by yours truly.

So simple, so perfect.

I still love this ceremony design so much, from the simple gold pipe arch, to the giant tropical leaves, (no floral foam heeeeey) to the always fabulous Ghost Chairs.

A quick close-up of those floating monstera leaves! Acrylic trianges FTW, again.

And a few more delicious sweets!

Real talk: I’ve done at least 3 real weddings as a direct result of this shoot, for which I’m super grateful. So if there’s something you want to start doing (or get paid to do) hurry up and get started! And if you just want to hire me to bring ALL the giant tropical leaves your direction, get in touch right here!
