Vibrant Orange Hues, Whimsical Florals in Scenic Wedding Day at Hope Island Beach Club

Emma Changose, a wedding photographer, and Bailey Wargo, a brewer, met just before the COVID-19 shutdown. After only three dates, they chose to quarantine together, an unexpected beginning that quickly deepened their bond. Built on creativity, laughter and love for their fluffy companion, their relationship became the foundation for a vibrant, joy-filled celebration. Set against the scenic waterfront of Hope Island Beach Club, their ceremony was a deeply personal highlight. Co-written with a close friend and officiated by two others, it beautifully reflected Emma and Bailey’s values and journey together. Ground-level florals in soft gradient tones framed the couple, while hops were woven into the arrangements as a nod to Bailey’s brewing craft. Under a clear tent and starry sky, guests gathered at a serpentine table that wrapped around the dance floor, encouraging easy flow and interaction. Personal details added warmth and charm, including incorporating Emma’s nana’s kitchen wallpaper into the invitation suite design and custom dinner napkins. Their beloved pup even appeared as oversized cutouts on the dance floor and in the photo booth. From a T-shirt toss grand entrance to a late-night pretzel cart, every detail felt unmistakably theirs.
