Hi, I'm LINDSEY.

Christina and Chris have an undeniable love that radiates, not just between them but to everyone around them. Their Icona Avalon wedding in New Jersey was the perfect reflection of their vibrant personalities and thoughtful attention to detail. This day wasn’t just a celebration; it was a full weekend of unique experiences their family and friends will remember forever. You do not want to miss the incredible details Christina and Chris created for their Icona Avalon beach wedding. This oceanfront NJ wedding was everything a 2025 engaged couple should have on their inspo board! 🌊✨

Beautiful Beach Wedding Ideas

From start to finish, Christina and Chris incorporated some seriously on-trend ideas for their Icona Avalon wedding. They had those oh-so-coveted customized welcome bags waiting for their guests upon arrival. These bags didn’t just include the essentials but were packed with thoughtful touches like personalized M&Ms, a guide to the Avalon area, and the cutest “wedding weekend survival kit” complete with snacks and a can of local brew!

Not to mention, their beach ceremony was everything you’d expect – waves crashing in the background, an intimate setup with pastel blue and white florals by Betinas at Parkview, and a welcome station featuring custom snacks, flip-flops (SO smart for beach weddings), and refreshing drinks for guests as they settled in.

Getting Ready for the Big Day

Christina and her bridal squad had a blast popping champagne, competing in a game of prosecco pong, and getting glammed in the spacious bridal suite. Christina even took a quick spaghetti break (who says you can’t carb load on your wedding day?!) before slipping into her showstopper gown from Claires Fashions. The bridesmaids looked stunning in mix-and-match dresses from Lulus and Dessy Group in a soft blue color palette. Gloss Studio nailed the hair and makeup, creating that perfect effortless beachy glam.

Icona Avalon Pictures

The name says it all— The Icona Avalon Resort is truly iconic for wedding photos. From the scenic beachfront to the chic modern interiors, this venue is the ultimate backdrop. We hit all the must-have photo spots – from the sand dunes to the sleek design of the Icona Avalon beach bar – and let me tell you, these two made every shot magic. Chris and his groomsmen were looking sharp in their tuxes from Generation Tux, while the bridesmaids’ soft blue dresses brought a breezy yet elegant vibe to the whole day.

Cocktail Hour & Reception Fun at the Icona Avalon

Cocktail hour was an absolute blast! Guests were treated to signature cocktails named after Christina and Chris’s pets (because what’s a wedding without a nod to your fur babies, right?). But my favorite detail might have to be the adorable takeaway doggie bag favors in honor of their pup—talk about a perfect personal touch!

The reception was next-level fun thanks to Smooth Event Group’s DJ who kept the party going all night long. Christina and Chris even surprised their guests with a private after-party the next day, complete with temporary tattoos, snacks, pizza, and the perfect lazy summer vibes. We barely noticed the rain when it started drizzling outside.

Icona Avalon Wedding Vendors Who Made It All Happen

This incredible day wouldn’t have been possible without an amazing team of vendors who brought Christina and Chris’s vision to life. From the delicious cake and catering by Icona Avalon to the stunning florals by Betinas at Parkview, everything was just perfect. Shoutout to Full Frame Cinema for capturing the day on video, because trust me, this is one wedding they’ll want to watch over and over again!

I’m still swooning over all the love and joy from this summer wedding at Icona Avalon Resort. Christina and Chris, thank you for letting me be part of your special day. If you’re looking for a Pennsylvania photographer or dreaming of your own beach wedding, let’s chat!
