Wedding Venues in Orange County: Our Favorite Places to Flower
If you’re planning your wedding, get ready, you’re spoiled for choice. As a seasoned wedding florist we’ve flowered a varied selection of wedding venues in Orange County.
We know what blooms hold up best by the beach breeze, how to build dreamy floral meadows that pop against a lush garden backdrop, and exactly where to sneak in those thoughtful floral moments guests remember long after the last dance.
Below are five of our favorite wedding venues near me, each one unique, beautiful, and ready to be transformed with flowers that are as bold, colorful, and artful as your love story
1. Ocean Views: Casa Loma Beach Hotel, Laguna Beach
Casa Loma Beach Hotel sits on a bluff overlooking Laguna’s Main Beach. This once-classic property recently completed a stunning transformation into a luxury beachfront boutique hotel, making it one of the top oceanfront wedding venues in California for couples who want that laid-back coastal vibe paired with modern elegance.
Why we love flowering Casa Loma:
Rooftop Pacific Terrace for ceremony or cocktail hour with panoramic ocean views and moonlit ambience.
Intimate indoor Laguna Room with floor-to-ceiling windows and seamless flow into the Pacific Room perfect for the wedding reception or dance floor with ocean breezes.
Beach access for dreamy wedding portraits with the Pacific as your backdrop (your photographer will thank you!).
70 boutique hotel rooms on-site, so guests can stay all weekend, hello, welcome cocktails, wedding rehearsal dinner and post-wedding brunch.
Bohemian design touches - think neutral palettes, artisan furnishings, and local art that pairs beautifully with our bold floral color palettes.
Pet friendly! Picture your pup trotting down the aisle in a custom flower collar yes, we’ll design that too.
2. Old World Garden Charm: Franciscan Gardens, San Juan Capistrano
Tucked behind charming wooden gates in San Juan Capistrano, Franciscan Gardens is the ultimate garden wedding venue featuring different types of greenery, vine-wrapped pergolas, romantic fountains, and string lights twinkling overhead. It’s timeless and always gives us that little thrill when we unload buckets of blooms at the gate.
Why Franciscan Gardens is a florist’s dream:
Outdoor courtyard surrounded by greenery, perfect for statement ceremony arches or meadow-style aisle flowers. Here’s a glimpse at a bold show-stopping floral design we had the pleasure of flowering recently.

Endless color options lush greens make vibrant floral palettes pop
Our bride and groom’s stunning San Juan Capistrano wedding embraced deep, moody tones at the lush Franciscan Gardens.
The florals featuring dramatic burgundy blooms like anthurium, orchids, dahlias, amaranthus, and roses, popped against the garden's greenery, with the bridal party dressed in black and hints of red velvet. Highlights include a show-stopping bridal bouquet, sculptural ceremony arrangements on white pillars, immersive reception centerpieces, and a show-stopping bar display. Every detail reflected the couple’s bold, modern aesthetic while showcasing the venue’s enchanting Spanish‑style courtyard
