Lauren and Chris’s vibrant beach wedding at Land’s End Oak Island was the perfect mix of laid-back coastal style and joyful celebration. Even with all day rain (that wasn’t in the forecast), this vibrant North Carolina beach wedding was filled with laughter, bright florals, and unforgettable views of the Atlantic.

A Coastal Ceremony on the Beach

Set right on the sand in front of Land’s End, Lauren and Chris exchanged vows with the ocean as their backdrop. Their Oak Island beach ceremony featured a lively palette of coral, pink, blue, and yellow florals that popped beautifully against the soft coastal light of a rainy May afternoon. Guests gathered in golden bentwood style chairs as the gentle waves rolled in, creating a scene that felt both relaxed and cinematic.

The rain never dampened their spirits — instead, it added a little sparkle to every photo and made the colors shine even brighter.

A Vibrant Rooftop Reception

After the ceremony, guests headed upstairs for a rooftop reception at Land’s End overlooking the shoreline. The design was a coastal dream: powder-blue linens, woven textures, and colorful floral centerpieces that echoed the seaside ceremony. As the evening went on, the sky cleared just enough to give them a pastel sunset — a perfect ending to their colorful Oak Island wedding.

String lights twinkled overhead, signature cocktails flowed, and guests danced barefoot under the open sky — the kind of carefree, joy-filled celebration that feels uniquely coastal Carolina.
