Luxury wedding flowers at the Bel Air Bay Club in Malibu. CHIC Flowers created breathtaking floral installations with lush garden roses, peonies, and cascading greenery, perfectly framed against the Pacific Ocean at this iconic Southern California venue.




































The Bel Air Bay Club in Malibu is one of Southern California's most exclusive oceanfront venues, where old-Hollywood glamour meets Pacific Coast beauty. This landmark private club overlooks the ocean from its iconic terrace, creating a wedding setting that demands floral design of the highest caliber.
CHIC Flowers designed one of our most ambitious installations for this wedding — a massive suspended floral ceiling over the reception dining area featuring hundreds of garden roses, peonies, and cascading greenery. The ceremony on the ocean-facing terrace featured a grand circular arch with lush, romantic florals in ivory, blush, and soft peach.
With 36 images in this gallery, this wedding represents one of CHIC Flowers' most comprehensive floral transformations. Every space was designed as a complete floral experience — from the entrance walkway lined with pillar candles and garden urns to the dramatic staircase garland leading guests to the reception.
The Bel Air Bay Club is one of the only Pacific Coast venues with a true Hollywood-era pedigree — the Mediterranean-Revival clubhouse was built in 1927 as a private retreat, and it still operates as a members-only club. The horseshoe-shaped terrace wraps directly around an ocean-facing lawn, which creates a natural amphitheater effect for the ceremony but also means every guest has a sightline to the couple from three sides. That three-axis view fundamentally changes how we design the ceremony arch.
The suspended ceiling installation was the most technically demanding piece in this wedding. The reception dining room at Bel Air Bay Club has a historically protected coffered ceiling, so we couldn't drill or anchor directly into the architecture. We engineered a freestanding truss system with hidden load-bearing posts disguised inside the floral columns at each corner, then rigged the ceiling canopy off that internal structure. Every pound of florals had to be pre-weighed during our prep days so the rigging passed the venue's strict load calculations.
Because the ceremony is viewed in the round, we built a circular arch instead of a traditional rectangular frame — the 360-degree silhouette reads the same from every seat. We carried the same garden rose and peony vocabulary from the arch through the entrance walkway urns and the staircase garland so the florals served as breadcrumbs leading guests through the property. The ivory-blush-peach palette was chosen specifically to glow in the golden-hour light that hits the terrace at 6pm Pacific time, giving the ceremony a warm-cast photo quality without relying on artificial lighting.
For this celebration we designed bridal bouquets, ceremony arch florals, reception centerpieces, and other wedding floral services.
