Three Visions, Three Weddings - Beachside Bash

Crystal Blauweiss describes her wedding theme as “classic elegance.” And indeed, the beach wedding held at Costa d’Este in Vero Beach was timeless and beautifully designed.

From the picturesque seaside setting to the simple white roses and hydrangeas that adorned each table, every detail was sophisticated and refined.

“As soon as Adam and I visited Coste d’Este, we knew immediately it would be the location we would want for our wedding,” Crystal says. With a pristine beachfront for the ceremony and a glamorous ballroom with hard-wood floors for the reception, the exclusive east coast resort had it all.

Twinkling candles, crisp white linens and handsome Chiavari chairs gave the reception space an air of chic refinement. Details such as white starfish hung from crisp navy satin ribbon, diminutive seashells affixed to each escort card and tall white lanterns lining the aisle on the beach added touches of whimsy.

Says Crystal, “Our wedding was everything we had hoped and dreamed that it would be. It was just like a fairy tale.”
