A Refined Coastal Wedding Framed by Sand, Sea, and Sunset at Edgewater Beach & Cabana Club

By Kevin Harson1 August 2025

The color palette was made up of coastal tones that reflected natural elements of the shore. There was a mix of the muted grey/ivory of a shell, beige of sand, pastel pink of a summer sunset, and a light mauve to add a hint of femininity.

Leaning into the natural landscape of the sand and ocean backdrop provided the perfect opportunity to develop their vision of a relaxed yet refined affair that highlighted a soft and natural palette. Elements of bleached wood, wicker, and scallop shell accents were the perfect complement to the natural and organic floral varieties and grasses featured in their design. A ceremony on the sand, as the couple said their vows, was the ideal beginning of the evening, which culminated in the most spectacular oceanfront sunset that saturated the evening sky, as guests danced under the clear top tent. The party lasted well into the evening with guests gathered around the large tiki bar that anchored the space, engaged in lively conversation, and dancing the night away. Taking in the perfect weather with warm ocean breezes and amazing live music, just as the bride and groom and their family have done over so many summers, solidified their evening as the perfect homage to their most perfect place on earth.
